1996 IN REVIEW
The 10-year veteran lingered just outside the Top 100 most of the year thanks mainly to Challenger success...He won the Olbia Challenger in September by beating Rascon, D. Norman, Agenor, Van Scheppingen and Martelli...Reached Cherbourg Challenger SF (l. to Carlsen) early in year and Brest QF, one week after upsetting Gustafsson in 1st RD in Vienna...In doubles, won Napoli Challenger (w/Nargiso) in first outing of year, and also reached SF of Tour event in Bologna (w/E. Sanchez).
