PHOTO OF THE DAY Barbara Schett of Austria reacts after upsetting Venus Williams of the United States in the first round of the French Open at Roland Garros stadium on Monday. Schett won 6-4, 6-4. GRAND SLAM SNIPPETS Yevgeny Kafelnikov's straight-sets victory against Italian Federico Luzzi at the French Open on Monday was the Russian's 500th career win, giving him membership of a select group of players. The seventh seed and 1996 Roland Garros champion became only the fifth current player to reach that milestone. Kafelnikov trails Pete Sampras, who has 711 wins, Andre Agassi (663), Michael Chang (643) and Goran Ivanisevic (569). All five have some way to go to beat Open Era match wins leader Jimmy Connors. The American left-hander won 1,155 matches in his career. Drug tests will be given to 112 players at the French Open under a government crackdown on doping. French Sports Minister Marie-George Buffet says the tests are part of efforts to fight the use of banned substances highlighted by the 1998 Tour de France scandal. "Cycling is very affected by doping," Buffet told the Liberation newspaper. "But it is also necessary to expand our efforts in other sports." Buffet said cyclists undergo more tests than athletes in any other sport. But she also noted that her ministry is making efforts in other sports, citing a recently signed accord with the International Tennis Federation. Harel Levy's 6-1, 6-1, 6-4 victory over Byron Black in the first round of the French Open on Monday made him the first Israeli to win a match at Roland Garros for nine years. Gilad Bloom was the last Israeli to win at the French Open in 1992 when he beat Dutchman Jan Siemerink in five sets. Only seven Israelis have made it past the first round in the tournament's history. Pressure cooker Frenchwoman Amelie Mauresmo said she felt "overwhelmed" by the weight of expectation from the Paris crowd following her shocking first-round defeat at the French Open on Monday. The No. 5 seed, one of the pre-tournament favorites, was bidding to match the success of her compatriot Mary Pierce, who won the title last year. Mauresmo, though, never came to terms with unseeded German Jana Kandarr, stumbling to a 7-5, 7-5 defeat after which she was whistled and booed off Center Court. "It is one of my greatest disappointments. I've never been favorite in a Grand Slam tournament so it was something new for me," said Mauresmo, 21. "I've learned a lot over the past few months. I've learned to manage different situations. But I have never been in this position. It's something that I have to learn to manage better. "It's not an easy thing to put into words but there's a feeling of powerlessness in addition to the stress. In fact you feel as though you're being overwhelmed." AROUND ROLAND GARROS Give me a break: Gustavo Kuerten offered another strong hint Monday that he will take a break instead of playing Wimbledon. "I play a lot of tennis at this time of year," Kuerten said. "I've been in two Masters Series finals and I hope to do well again this week. "I may have to take a break after the French Open." Dokic dominant: Jelena Dokic thinks the French Open's clay courts may be her winning surface. Dokic, an 18-year-old from Yugoslavia, said she was feeling confident about her prospects after beating first-round opponent Adriana Gersi of the Czech Republic 6-0, 6-0 in only 40 minutes. "I sort of feel like I can beat anybody," Dokic said. "I mean, I'm not saying I'm going to beat them everyday or every time I play them, but I've beaten a lot of top players. That's always satisfying." Gearing up: Ever wonder what players do to let off steam the week before a Grand Slam? Patrick Rafter strapped on a body harness and then let himself be carried up by a helium balloon. Rafter, who has skydived and bungee jumped, up about 80 feet attached to two cameras to document his trip. The German tennis team also tried something different last week in Dusseldorf, Germany. Tommy Haas, Nicolas Kiefer, David Prinosil and team captain Carl-Uwe Steeb stopped on Konigsstrasse, the city's main shopping street, set up provisional nets and started playing tennis in the streets. "It was chaos, but it was really fun," Kiefer said. "There were many people and we created a big traffic jam." Passersby stopped and applauded the players. At the end of the short session one wildly hit ball slammed into coffee cups at a nearby café. "People looked a bit strange at us. But it was a nice atmosphere," Kiefer said. OVERHEARD BARBARA SCHETT On upsetting Venus Williams: "I thought it was a good opportunity to play her in the first round. I knew I had a better chance in the first round than later in the tournament." GUSTAVO KUERTEN On his attitude this year: "I have to approach every match as a match that I have to survive. You have to start very strong, and try to play well." VENUS WILLIAMS On her first-round loss to Barbara Schett: "It's too late to turn the tables. I've done all I can do at this point. I can only move on."
