THE SIDELINES : Aussies Court Chang, Sanchez
Michael Chang and Arantxa Sanchez are the two remaining names on the shopping list of the Australian Open tennis championship.
Chang, the French Open champion, has said he will take a break from tennis early in 1990 and plans to miss the first Grand Slam tournament of the decade; Sanchez also plans a vacation.
Tennis Australia President Geoff Pollard said Wednesday that he would make a new approach to Chang, ranked fifth in the world, in an attempt to change his mind before entries for the Jan. 15-28 championships close on Monday.
Sanchez, the French Open women’s champion, will contest the Hopman Cup mixed teams event in Perth from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1 but is then scheduled to return home.
