Andrea Jaeger's sweet 16

Worth a separate clip by itself. Jaeger poses for the cameras at Roland Garros in 1981. Anyone know who the young fellow is beside her? From William Klein's "The French" (1982).

I believe the young man is Jimmy Arias. It looks like him.

I think you're right! Thanks.  That would mean he was 16 at the time as well. A hotshot prospect. Won all his titles on clay.

I had no idea he was playing that long ago. I've seen him interviewed and he's a funny guy.

According to wiki, Arias turned pro in 1980, so right around the time he turned 16.

Andrea Jaegar and Jimmy Arias won the mixed doubles title at the French Open that year (1981).

Its Kathy Rinaldi - got to the semis at wimbledon in 1985. One of the youngest players ever to play at wimbledon. She was a teenage protigee just like Andrea though not quite at her level.
