Pennsylvania. Nov 13 (AP. Reuters): Top-ranked Martina Hingis survived a major upset bid in beating Sabine Appe-Imans 6-2, 4-6. 6-2 on Wednesday night in the second round of the Advanta Championships.

Hingis broke back to come within 5-4 in the second set. but Appelmans hit a sharp forehand down the line to take the set and force a third set. In their first of three meetings this year. Appelmans and Hingis went three sets in Sydney. Australia.
Appelmans had Hingis on her heels midway through the third set. but at 2-2. Appelmans double-faulted to lose rnoihen-tum. A long sixth game punctuated by an all-court rally ended with a Hingis ace. making it 4-2.
Hingis ended the match with an overhead smash and the crowd of 3.000 gave both players a standing ovation.
"I played well in the beginning." Hingis said. "Then I lost concentration. She really played well, running back and forth all the time. It was a really good match."
"1 started getting into it, and she missed a few balls," said Appelmans. T did get a little tired at the end. I was. trying more to enjoy myself and not worry about winning or losing."
In other matches Wednesday, Jana Novotna, the No 2 seed and the defending champion. beat Amy Frazier. 6-2. 6-1; No 3 Amanda Coetzer outlasted Chanda Rubin. 6-4, 7-6 (7-2): No 4 Monica Seles was up 4-3 on Brenda Schultz-McCarthy, who left the match due to a strained left calf muscle; and No 5 Lindsay Davenport defeated Nathalie Tauziat 6-3, 6-3.
Seles was ahead 4-3 and 30-40 on Schultz-McCarthy's serve, when Schultz-McCarthy, of the Netherlands, walked to chair and announced she would have to retire. Seles said later Schultz-McCarthy had requested a delay to the start of the match because she had been experiencing problems with her Achilles.
"I know Brenda." Seles said. "She's such a fighter. She wouldn't have done this if her Achilles wasn't really hurting her. I guess she felt she didn't want to jeopardise her career."
Seles said she would have preferred getting more court time, considering the level of competition here and with the WTA Chase Championships coming up next week in New York.
