		ALBERTO BERASATEGUI: I think one of the keys that I lost the match was in the 3-Love in the second set and I had 15-40 and he make-- he did two aces and then I had another breakpoint, but I didn't play as well as I was playing.
		ALBERTO BERASATEGUI: I think it was because when I was little I didn't have too much power and that is the way I hold my racket; it gives me more confidence.
		ALBERTO BERASATEGUI: I thought that was going to be -- I was going to win that game to make 4-3, but I was tired at that point and I didn't have so much luck.

		ALBERTO BERASATEGUI: Yeah, I think it was tougher than the past years, of course, because I had to play a lot more tournaments and I got to the finals of some, but I think I'm maybe more mentally tired and physically tired.
		ALBERTO BERASATEGUI: Because first of all, I prefer to play on clay and I was close to qualifying for here for Frankfurt, and I thought that if I go play clay court in South America, then I have a good chance.
		ALBERTO BERASATEGUI: Put the courts a little bit slower because I see that -- for myself, I see that the game now is so fast that the balls don't last like about two seconds, and for the crowd, I think they don't see too much tennis; they just see a big serve and a volley.

	Marco Island Sun Times - Local News - 09/02/2004 - Dying to be different Or is he?
		To my complete surprise, Berasategui not only was not changing his grip, (unheard of if we are not discussing the conventional continental grip of John McEnroe) but he was flourishing.
		Alberto turned pro in 1991 and won almost five million dollars on the ATP tour.
		Berasategui, standing only five feet, eight inches tall and weighing 145 pounds, won 14 singles titles in his career, so I wouldn't call him "a flash in the pan."

	SNS Online - Sports - Rios stops Berasategui's run 1/28/98
		Chilean Marcelo Rios hits a two-handed backhand return to Alberto Berasategui, of Spain, during their match at the Australian Open Tennis Championships in Melbourne, Wednesday.
		MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) -- Alberto Berasategui, conqueror of U.S. Open champion Patrick Rafter and a resurgent Andre Agassi, lost the magic from his legs and unorthodox forehand today, falling to Marcelo Rios.
		Berasategui said he was warned late in the first set against receiving coaching from the stands, but that he replied it was just encouragement shouted by supporters.

		Across the net, little Alberto Berasategui's preppy hair was barely mussed, not a bead of perspiration marred his forehead, and he wore the impassive look of a man waiting for a bus.
		Berasategui's astonishing victory didn't just shock Rafter and the 15,000 fans who screamed and sang and stomped for him.
		And Berasategui, a surprise finalist in the 1994 French Open who had never gone beyond the third round of any other major tournament, had to come from behind to reach the round of 16 against Agassi.

		ALBERTO BERASATEGUI: First of all, no. I thought it was going to be a harder match, but I think he played very well and after the first two games when I fall, I couldn't hit with my forehand, it was so hard because my finger hurt a little bit.
		ALBERTO BERASATEGUI: Well, if the tournament on clay will be as much bigger as the hard court tournaments, I wouldn't have to play so many tournaments; maybe the tournaments that are on clay, they are so small, I have to play to qualify for here.
		ALBERTO BERASATEGUI: Well, I would like to claim, but maybe Bruguera makes the claim for that, but I don't think they are going to listen to us because I guess they have so many interests to play on the hard court that it is going to be difficult for us.

	TENNIS NOTE
		Berasategui rallies to take Estoril tennis title -------------------------------------------------- Third seed Alberto Berasategui of Spain shook off a slow start to defeat two-time champion Thomas Muster of Austria, 3-6, 6-1, 6-3, today and capture the $600,000 Estoril Open tennis tournament in Portugal.
		Berasategui earned $84,000 for winning the first European claycourt event of 1998.
		Ranked 18th in the world, Berasategui, 24, won his 14th career ATP Tour title and first since Palermo, Italy last season.

		Spain's Alberto Berasategui has announced his retirement from professional tennis at the age of just 27.
		He certainly had a lot to be proud of in his career as he was a small guy in tennis terms and he had that exaggerated grip but he really made the most of himself, especially in 1994.
		Alberto also beat Rafter at the Aus Open and he was a friendly and affable personality, and left a mark with that unique forehand.

	Rusedski denied reward
		Particularly at the start of the second set, when Rusedski was chipping and charging his way to the net, putting pressure on Berasategui's less impressive backhand, and again when he recovered from 1-3 to 3-3, it looked as though he would at least force a third set.
		It was not to be, however, with the way Berasategui broke for victory in the 12th game largely summing up the way the luck deserted him.
		So Rusedski was match point down and Berasategui, still remembered for that crazily unorthodox forehand which made him runner-up at the French Open in 1994, demonstrated it again to expose Rusedski's limitations on the low volley.

		ALBERTO BERASATEGUI: Well, I think so, but I have to see what the doctor says and how the treatment goes and I hope I will be able to play the next match against Bruguera.
		ALBERTO BERASATEGUI: Yeah, I saw the doctor and he told me that I could play, but he wasn't sure that I was going to be 100% either I mean, they did everything that was possible on the hand, but...
		ALBERTO BERASATEGUI: I think a lot because I cannot hit my forehand the hardest I used to and if I cannot hit my best shot, the game is over for me, and it hurts for my serve also.

		Berasategui is now a quarterfinalist, and he has done the promoters and TV folks no favors by knocking out the two most popular men in successive rounds.
		With only one seeded player on his side of the draw, Agassi saw a clear path to the final of the tournament he won on his first visit in 1995.

		Berasategui, who nearly camped in his backhand corner and hammered forehands in all directions, gained back the second-set break in the eighth game with help from two Rafter double faults.
		Berasategui broke for 5-4 in the final set, was broken back, and wrapped up the nearly three-hour match with a lob right on the baseline and more misses by Rafter, who had 77 unforced errors to 46 by Berasategui.
		Berasategui now plays Agassi, who he acknowledged won't him play the same type of game.

		Berasategui had never come back from two sets down, and Agassi had rarely lost from that position.
		Berasategui has been using that grip, running around balls to his left and hitting forehands with the backhand side of the strings for years and only he has mastered the technique.

	Wild ride for Australians: 1/25/98
		Rafter, the first Australian to rise to a No. 2 ranking since John Newcombe ruled this roost a quarter century ago, was bearing the full weight of the nation's hefty expectations when he strolled onto the stadium court against Alberto Berasategui, a Spanish clay-court specialist who wasn't carrying anything heavier than his racquet bag.
		The 15,000 howling in the stands had already envisioned Rafter taking his place across the net from Andre Agassi in the Round of 16 in a replay of their meeting at the U.S. Open last summer, the match that convinced Rafter he could to take it to the limit in a Grand Slam.
		Berasategui couldn't suppress a sneer, albeit a self-deprecating one, when asked about his chances against Agassi.

		Berasategui's 4-6 4-6 6-4 7-6 6-4 win was all the more galling for the seventh-seeded Briton as he had seemed in control of the match against the Spanish claycourt specialist.
		Henman, who has improved a lot on clay recently, led 6-4 6-4 2-0 before Berasategui fought back and eventually won in three hours 26 minutes of an up-and-down match.
