Super servers shot down
MONTREAL. Aug 2: With strong winds rendering the big servers Ineffective, top seed Michael Chang held off eig-
hth-seeded Dutchman Richard Krajicek on Friday to reach the semifinals of the Canadian Open, reports Reuter.
The second-ranked Chang posted a 7-6. 6-4 victory over Krajicek to set up a semifinal with French Open champion Gustavo Kuerten of Brazil.
The sixth-seeded Kuerten advanced with a 6-3. 7-6 win over Frenchman Fabrice Santoro.
Today's other semifinal pits fourth seed Yevgeny Kafelnikov of Russia against unseeded American Chris Woodruff.
Kafelnikov beat fifth • seed Thomas Enqvlst of Sweden 7-5, 6-7. 6-1 in a two-hour and 10-minute match contested almost exclusively from the baseline.
The 57th-ranked Woodruff upset seventh-seeded Australian Mark Phllippoussls 6-4, 6-4.
With the wind playing havoc with his serve, Krajicek was forced to trade groundstrokes with the Chang, a situation that worked to the speedy American's advantage.
Kuerten, who exploded onto the world stage with his. stunning French Open win this year, showed off his hardcourt prowess in a brilliantly played first set in which he lost Just four points on his serve.
In the second-set tie-break, Santoro held two set points, but the 20-year-old Brazilian fended them off with aggressive shots, keeping the match from a third set by winning the breaker 8-6.
The crowd mostly unfamiliar with Kuerten and Santoro was thoroughly entertained by the imaginative shotmaking and thrilling rallies produced by the pair.
Woodruff seems to be living a charmed life In Montreal. For the second consecutive day. the American drew a player who lives or dies by the ace on a day when the big serve just wasn't there.
After facing Just six aces from second seed Goran Ivanisevic Thursday. Woodruff took on the game’s hardest server only to watch the Australian falter with his delivery.
"It was windy out there and you can't expect to serve as many aces because you have to put more spin on the ball, said Phllippoussls in explaining why his rocket launcher was misfiring.
Reaching the final four in a tournament with such a strong field Is pretty heady stuff for
Woodruff, who could easily have'been out in the second had 16th seed Jan Siemerink not missed an easy volley on match point earlier this week.
