Defense attorney Frank A. Abrams told a judge he will subpoena ``all the leading players'' to testify at Dubravko Rajcevic's trial scheduled to begin April 2, the day after the Key Biscayne tournament ends.

Among those scheduled to compete at the Ericsson are Venus and Serena Williams, Lindsey Davenport, Monica Seles and Anna Kournikova.

Abrams also told County Judge Kevin Emas that he would try to take Hingis' deposition after she arrives in South Florida to compete in the tournament.

Emas said at a January hearing that Hingis should testify in person against Rajcevic, who is being held on $2 million bail on three misdemeanor stalking charges. He faces a maximum of three years in prison if convicted, prosecutors said.

The judge scheduled the trial the day after the Ericsson to make it easier for prosecutors to secure the presence of Hingis, a Swiss national.

Abrams assured the judge he was ``acting in good faith'' in intending to subpoena the tennis players.

Rajcevic, 45, was arrested at last year's Ericsson after security personnel asked him to leave the tournament following a complaint by Hingis' mother. Security told him not to come back.

He returned the next day, was arrested for stalking and released on $1,000 bail. Two days later, he was again arrested after being spotted at the tournament. His bail was upped to $2 million and he has been in custody ever since.

Rajcevic traveled to about five tennis tournaments around the world where Hingis played, but only yelled words of encouragement to her, Abrams said.

He said Hingis and the other players were aware of his client and joked about his romantic interest in Hingis.

But prosecutors say Hingis fears the defendant. She has said in an affidavit that she wants to testify by closed-circuit television or videotape because he scares her.
