Jim Courier of Florida, Michael Stich of Germany and Stefan Edberg of Sweden, the three players who combined to win the four men’s 1991 Grand Slam titles, head the list of competitors for tennis events at this summer’s Olympics, the International Tennis Federation announced. American Pete Sampras, the 1990 U.S. Open champion, and Boris Becker, a three-time Wimbledon winner from Germany, also will play. Michael Chang is also on the U.S. team. John McEnroe and Andre Agassi were not selected by the U.S. federation.

Germany’s Steffi Graf, ranked No. 2 in the world, will be favored to win the gold medal for the second time in the absence of Monica Seles, Gabriela Sabatini and Martina Navratilova, who did not participate in last year’s Federation Cup competition and are not eligible for Olympic consideration.
