Champions survive unscathed
NEW YORK. Scpl 15: Stefan Edberg and Monica Seles emerged from a fortnight of early upset, marathon matches and big-name clashes to retain their US Open titles, reports Reuter. Five-set battles were the order of the day In the men s tournament, while the usually predictable women's draw was turned upside down, leaving just one of the lop four seeds in the semifinals.
Clashes that in recent years might have been reserved for the semifinals or finals seemed to be taking place daily, thanks to the shrinking rankings of some of the biggest stars.
Australian and French Open champion Jim Courier met four times Open winner John McEnroe and three times champion Ivan Lendl squared off against three times Wimbledon champion Boris Becker as early as the fourth round.
The quarters produced top-seeded Courier against Wimbledon champion Andre Agassi and Edberg against Lendl.
Finally Edberg, whose opc-tlmc loathing of the National Tennis Centre has turned to
love, reclaimed the world number one ranking with victory.
The elegant 26-ycar-old Swede, whose classic serve-and-volley style is a beauty to behold when he Is In form, had to scratch and claw his way to the final, scrambling through three successive five-set matches, in which he was a break down In the fifth.
Like a cat with nine lives he survived all adversity. Including a rain-marred, two-day quarter-final against Lendl that Was decided to a fifth-set tiebreaker, and an Open record five hour 26 minute endurance test against remarkable retriever Michael Chang in the semifinals.
Edbergs resilience thwarted a bid for an American Grand Slam sweep. He beat Pete Sampras, the 1990 champion. In the final after Courier and Agassi had collectively claimed the year's first three Grand Slam events.
For the first time In tt decade neither Martina Navratilova nor Steffi Graf was in the women's final tn the Open. Olympic champion Jen* nlfer Capriati crashed in Ihe
third round and Gabriela Sabatini. the 1990 champion, left in the quarters.
Navratilova, a second-round loser, had the spotlight stolen by both her opponents.
Magdalena Malceva, the 17-ycar-old youngest of ihc Bulgarian baselining sisters, scored the upset, but American wild card Shaun Stafford probably helped by utterly unnerving Navratilova by laughing merrily all the way through a long match won 7-5 by Navratilova in the third set.
Patricia Hy. a diminutive Cambodian-born Canadian, blossomed at the advanced age of 27. by ousting Capriati and then knocking out lanky Helena Sukova.
Hy's heroics ground to a halt when she came up against a muted Seles, quietened by a sore throat and a bad case of the sniffles.
During the early rounds Seles achieved her victories In relative silence but as her symptoms subsided, the 18* year-old Yugoslav regained her voice and her grunts rose to the volume of battle cries as she humbled Arantxa Sanchez Vicario in the final for her seventh Grand Siam title and a
dollar 500.000 prize.
Jimmy Connors, the sentimental favourite at Louts Armstrong Stadium, celebrated his 40th birthday with a first-round victory over Brazilian Jaime Oncins for his 98th Open win.
Connors, competing in his 22nd Open, was floored In the next round by l^ndl. Reverting to his bad boy persona of earlier days. Connors bad-mouthed Ixndl's ability.
Some players had to suffer for their glory as television interests took precedence.
Seles and Sanchez, had to wait for the Chang-Edberg extravaganza to end before their championship match. Sampras. who needed two hours of treatment late Saturday night for dehydration after his semifinal win over Courier, had to return Sunday afternoon to play Edberg.
Courier said: "I think If you ask any of the players, We are going to say that this to the worst setup for us In a Grand Slam ... Saturday and Sunday, semi and final. It's great for tennis In America. Il is bad for two people - the players that play on Sunday."
