Sampras faces Agassi in final
ATLANTA, Geo rgla May 3: Top seed Pete Sampras and second -seeded Andre Agassi both pos-
ted straight set wins on Saturday to set up a Sunday showdown in the final of the dollar 260.000 AT and T chai tenge tennis tournament, reports Reuter.
Sampras cruised into the final with a 6-4. 6-2 In over fellow-American Todd Witsken. while Agassi advanced earlier in the day by beating unseeded Pablo Arraya of Peru 6-4, 6-3.
Sampras and Agassi, tutored at the same Florida Tennis Academy years ago, have played five times with Sampras holding a 3-2 edge. But Agassi won their only match on clay, the first time they played three years ago In Rome.
Sampras, ranked three In the world. needed Just one hour and 19 minutes to win his semifinal.
Relying on a solid first serve. Sampras held easily and broke Wttsken, ranked 94th, for a 2-0 led. But the top seed suddenly became careless and had to fight off three break points tn the next game before holding for 3-0.
Witsken attacked the Sampras serve again in the seventh game, this time breaking with a backhand top spin return, ten held to even the set at 4-4.
But Witsken wasted all his hard work two games later by double-faulting to give Sampras the set 6-4.
Sampras eliminated many of the unforced errors in the second set and outrallled Witsken to take a 4-1 lead. Sampras pounded in so many
winners that he resorted to an underarm serve in the fifth game.
T was hitting the ball really well but then J lost some concentration," said Sampras of his first-set lapse. Tn the second set it was a matter of me being more patient. But that concentration lapse is some thing I can't really do against Agassi in the final."
Witsken. thwarted in his effort to reach his first singles final, moaned about the power servers that dominate the game. "With a lot of guys at the top, if you took away their serve, many wouldn't be considered great tennis players," he said,
Arraya won over the crowd but could not outperform Agassi on the court In the earlier semifinal.
The Peruvian made effective use of the dropshot In the first set but Agassi broke first to lead 5-3 and then broke again to win it 6-4.
Somewhat winded, Arraya laid on the comic banter In the second set as his game began to fail him.
When Agassi missed a classic Arraya drop shot, the Peruvian flung his arm around his opponent s shoulders tn a mock pose for the television cameras. Arraya then promptly broke a distracted Agassi for a 1-0 lead.
Two more service breaks followed, then Arraya held to go ahead 3-1. When Agassi disputed a call In the next game, Arraya climbed Into the stands with the spectators and called out "Come on Agassi, play."
Agassi obliged, holding serve, then breaking a tiring Arraya for 3-3 after which the Peruvian faded. Agassi broke again for 5-3 and won the match on a kick serve that the followed up with a forehand winner
"It was a test of concentre tlon." Agassi said, "ft was en Joyable, but when It got to 3-3 In the second set 1 needed to bear down and concentrate. It was very mental today and a question of staying focused."
