Debutant Rochus battles to German title
Qualifier Christophe Rochus completed a fine debut week on the tour by dispatching home favourite Boris Becker in three sets in the final of the ATP Eckental in Germany. After coming through the qualifying event, Rochus made waves in the main draw by eliminating more experienced opposition en route to a tense final encounter with German serve-and-volleyer Becker. Although both men were playing their first finals of the season, the quality of tennis was very high but it was Rochus who broke the partisan crowd's heart by squeaking past Becker 7-2 in the crucial third set tie-break and becoming the only undefeated player on the tour this year.
