Guga Kuerten gets inducted into Tennis Hall of Fame

Three time French Open champion Guga Kuerten was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame Championships on Saturday in Newport in a ceremony alongside Jennifer Capriati.

Kuerten was No. 1 in the world for 43 weeks and woon the grand slam in Paris in 1997, 2000 and '01.

''I believe it's the surface you have to suffer more,'' the 35-year old Kuerten said in the ceremony. ''You have to be out there for many hours. You have to use every weapon you can and fight like a warrior. It's fun to try.''

''Jennifer, I don't want to compare my career to yours, otherwise they'd think about having me."

Kuerten was introduced at the ceremony by his mother.
