Ivanisevic in superb nick
STOCKHOLM.
- Oct 29: Goran Ivanisevic edged US Open champion Andre Agassi 10-8 In a see-saw tiebreak Friday night to gain the semifinals of the Stockholm Open, reports AP.
Each player blew a match point in .the tiebreak before the world's second ranked player connected with a crosscourt forehand to win the quarterfinal 6-1. 3-6. 7-6 (10-8).
"It was very close, obviously it fould have gone either way." Agassi said. "It went his way and there's not much you can do about it.”
Agassi, who rallied from a' set down io win his first two matches' here in three sets, came close again.
He had a match point leading 8-7 in the tiebreaker. But Ivanisevic, one of the biggest servers in the game, tied It 8-8 with an ace. Another ace by the tall Croatian gave him an 9-8 edge.
"Those aces gave me more confidence.' Ivanisevic said. " It meant a lot."
’ Ivanisevic, the 1992 Stockholm Open champion, had a match point at 7-6 in the tiebreak, but his forehand sailed long.
Ivanisevic's victory snapped Agassi's 14-match winning streak that started in the US Open, where the American Jje-came the first unseeded player to win the meti s singles in the open era.
"I don't want to complain but it was unbelievable that they changed the court in the middle of the tournament." Ivanisevic said.
One Green Set Trophy court was Installed overnight.' replacing the two parallel courts used earlier in the tournament. Although the surface was the same, several players complained it was faster in the opening rounds.
Agassi, seeded No. 9. won his last two matches against Ivanisevic, in the 1992 Wimbledon final and the semis in Vienna, Austria, last weekend.
"It was nice to cut him
when he was an a roll." Ivanisevic said. " Last week had no chance."
Ivanisevic will play Russia's rising star Evgeny Kafelnikov in Saturday's semifinals. They're 1 -1 lifetime.
Kafelnikov, seeded No. 11. rallied, from a set down to defeat No. 4 Sergi Bniguera 6-7 (4-7). 6-4, 6-2.
Tqp-seed Sampras rode his big serve to an easy victory over Magnus Larsson Friday and a berth against Bpris Becker in the other semifinals of the dlrs 1.72 million tour-.nament.
The world's top-ranked player won 6-1. 6-4 on the Globe Arena's fast carpet, dropping only five points in his own service games. Two of them were double faults.
"I think I really played well today against a very tough opponent who's been playing well this week, beating (Michael) Chang," Sanlpras said.
■ The American needed four sets in the opening singles against Larsson in the Sweden-United States Davis Cup semifinals at Goteborg last month. But he was never challenged by the lanky Swede this time.
"I knew it would be a tough match and I kind of surprised
myself a little bit as far as how well I played today." Sampras said.
Larsson, who clinched Sweden's 3-2 Davis Cup victory over the United States by defeating Todd Martin in the fifth and decisive match, knocked of Chang in the second round. The unseeded Swede is ranked 28th in the world.
Becker, a three-time Stockholm Open champion in 1988. 1990. and 1991. also won his quarterfinal in straight sets. 7-6 (7-3). 6-3 over defending champion and fellow German Michael Stich.
Sampras has yet to lose a set in the tournament, but has
• only played two matches. He received a first-round bye as all other 15 seeds and then Marc Rosset withdrew because of the flu. giving the American an extra day or rest Thursday.
That's the last Sampras wants. He was sidelined 45 days in the summer because of tendinitles in his left ankle, then came back for the US Open and was upset by Jaime Yzaga in the round of 16
Then, playing the next two last singles in the Davis Cup semifinals five weeks ago. Sampras pulled a hamstring against Stefan Edberg as Sweden win the match 3 2.
Sampras didn't return to competitive tennis until last week, when he reached the semifinals in an exhibition in Hong Kong.
Becker is likely to be Sampras' toughest opponent in the tournament. The sixth-seeded German always plays well on carpet and has the highest won-lost ratio in Stockholm (20-3).
Becker, who has won three ATP singles tittles this year, is one of 12 players looking for .one of the remaining five spots in the ATP Tour World Cham pionship in Frankfurt next month.
" I've played Boris a number of times and 1 feel good about my chances." said Sampras. who has won a tour leading eight events this year. “The court plays a little differ ent now. It's slower It's good or th? fans."
