   Born in 1962, Jérôme Potier [254, wild card] – an obscure left-handed French player who raised the level of his tennis twice throughout his career, and both cases occurred in the same French southern city at Côte d’Azur. Year after year he was able to defeat four higher ranked players including two seeds on each occasion, but in the finals he had no arguments: against Leconte in 1988, and against Chesnokov [30] the following year. The 1st set against the Soviet player was actually very good from his perspective, as he was showcasing an attacking, versatile tennis; he squandered break points at 3:5 and 4:5 though. In the 2nd set Chesnokov already led 5:2 on serve.

   Chesnokov’s route to his 3rd title:
   1 John Frawley 6-0, 6-2
   2 Lawson Duncan 6-1, 6-1
   Q Guillermo Perez-Roldan 7-6(3), 6-4
   S Goran Ivanisevic 6-4, 6-7(6), 7-6(4)
   W Jerome Potier 6-4, 6-4

   Serve & volley: Chesnokov 0, Potier 7/15
