Ivanisevic in last four
OSTRAVA. Czech Republic. Oct 18: Goran Ivanisevic stayed on course for his second successive title on
triday but second seed Sergi Bruguera was blasted out of the quarterfinals of the Czech Open by Sweden's Magnus Norman, reports Reuter.
Fourth seed Austrian Thomas Muster cruised past Italy's Diego Nargiso 7-6, 6-1, Slovakia's Karol Kucera, seeded eighth, beat Czech Jiri Novak 6-4. 6-2 to reach the last four.
Ivanisevic, seeded third, removed Czech Bohdan Ulihrach from a tournament for the second time in a week, winning 7-
The Croatian was sluggish at the start of his match — his giant serve was particularly sus-Gt — but he held on from the eline long enough to force a tiebreak.
Ulihrach. ranked 36th in the world, failed to capitalise on an early mini-break in the tiebreak and went down 7-4. The second set was a formality.
Ivanisevic will play Kucera in the first semifinal today followed by Muster versus Nor-man,_ who beat Bruguera 6-4, 6-
Norman, seeded seventh, appeared set for a quick victory after taking the first set and a 4-0 lead in the second. The 21-
year-old Swede hit 15 aces in the second set alone and 32 in the match.
But Bruguera. ranked eight in the world, finally came to terms with the fast carpet surface and. after two breaks of service, rescued the second set by winning the tie-break 7-4.
Games went with serve in the final set until Norman got the vital break in the 12th game, sealing victory with a driving backhand past Bruguera.
"He served unbelievably well, most of them were above 200 kph (120 mph). I could barely play more than one ball a game, and when that happens it's tough to win," said Bruguera.
The loss was a disappointment for the Spaniard ahead of the year-ending ATP Championships in Hannover, winning the tiue In Ostrava would probably seal Invanisevic's qualification. as it would for Muster.
Pete Sampras. Michael Chang and Pat Rafter of Australia are assured of places at the prestigious tournament but the five remaining spots are still up for grabs.
Nargiso. ranked a lowly 248 in the world after a series of injuries throughout 1997, battled Muster hard in the first set before a double fault gave the Austrian the advantage he needed to win the tiebreak 7-4.
From there on the world number 12 hit high gear, relent-
lessly pounding away at Nar-giso from the baseline.
