US OPEN DIARY

AP, New York
He's got the same name as his famous father. He's also got a lot of athletic ability.
Only this Sergei Bubka is hoping to raise himself up with a tennis racket, rather than a fiberglass pole.
Son of the 1988 Olympic champion and world record holder in the pole vault, Bubka made his US Open debut Sunday in the junior event. He lost in singles to Scott Oudsema of Kalamazoo, Michigan 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, and will play doubles on Monday.
"Everything was working in the first set," Bubka said.
"The second set, I got a little more defensive. I think that carried through for the rest of the match."
Chances are, he'll hear from dad about that.
"He gives me mental tips," the 17-year-old Bubka said.
"That's where he helps the most. He'll talk about doing everything to perfection, about always doing your best."
Born in the Ukraine, Bubka and his family live in Monte Carlo. His 40-year-old father has seen him only once this year, at a tournament in Italy.
"He's very supportive, but he lets me do my own thing," the son said.
"He doesn't want to get in my way."
Occasionally, they hit tennis balls together. Dad took up the sport after retiring following his sixth world title in the pole vault.
"He plays for fun. He's all right -for an amateur," young Bubka said with a smile.
Bubka reached the semifinals of the 2003 Wimbledon junior event, and has also twice played juniors at the Australian Open. This was his first visit to New York -- "It's pretty big" -- and he's already looking forward to playing at Flushing Meadows next year.
Bubka's father dominated pole vaulting for more than a decade. His indoor record of 20 feet, 2 inches, set in 1993, still stands; his outdoor mark of 20 feet, 1 3/4 inches, done
in 1994, also remains the record.
There never was much chance that his son would scale those heights.
"I tried it once when I was young, after I had started playing tennis," Bubka said.
"It was pretty tough. I made it over the bar. But it wasn't very high. The pole didn't even bend."
DOUBLES DOINGS
The defending men's doubles champions are done at the US Open. The 2003 runners-up are gone, too.
Top-seeded Jonas Bjorkman of Sweden and Todd Woodbridge of Australia wasted leads in each of the last two sets and were upset 2-6, 7-5, 6-4 in the third round Sunday by No. 13 Leander Paes of India and David Rikl of the Czech Republic.
"We let one get away," said Woodbridge, owner of a record 81 doubles titles, including 16 at Grand Slams. "It was a really good match -everybody played well -- but we had the upper hand and had some bad service games."
He and Bjorkman led 5-4 in the second set before losing three straight games. Then, ahead 4-1 in the third, the defending champs dropped five games in a row.
Last year, Woodbridge and Bjorkman beat American twins Bob and Mike Bryan in the Open final. The Bryans lost their third-round match Saturday night.
In mixed doubles, Paes teamed with Martina Navratilova to defeat Els Callens and Martin Damm 6-3, 6-4 and reached the quarterfinals. Their next foes: Wimbledon singles champion Maria Sharapova and Max Mirnyi, who eliminated siblings Cara and Wayne Black 6-3, 7-6.
WILD CHILD
Even by her own emotional standards, Vera Zvonareva was a bit out of control Sunday.
The 19-year-old player cried throughout much of her fourthround match against Elena Dementieva, on and off the court. She teared up after winning the first set, and repeatedly covered her
head with a towel and sobbed during changeovers.
She hit herself in the foot with her racket, smashed it against the ground and berated herself during Dementieva's 1-6, 6-4, 6-3 victory.
"You wouldn't see any fourthround matches of a Grand Slam not emotional," Zvonareva said.
"When I'm comfortable with my tennis, when I know what I'm doing on the court and when I play for every ball, then I don't get like this."
During one break, she looked lost as she gazed into the stands.
"I was trying to get advice from my coach," she said, "Just what should I do?''
Dementieva, 22, knows her fellow Russian well. They've practiced with each other and used to play doubles together.
"She can cry sometimes on the court. Sometimes too much -- too emotional," Dementieva said.
"But I think it didn't affect her game."
I CAN HIT THIS
At only 17, Scoville Jenkins got a rude welcome to the US Open a few days ago when Andy Roddick overwhelmed him with a tournament-record 152 mph serve.
Jenkins played more at his own speed Sunday when he beat Divij Sharan 6-4, 6-1 in the first round at the Open's junior tournament.
"I saw the fastest serve probably that any man can hit," Jenkins said.
"Now I feel like I could hit any serve."
Roddick whipped 12 aces past Scoville. Asked that day how it felt to return a 152 mph rocket, Jenkins smiled.
"I don't know," he said.
"I didn't return it."
Jenkins reached the semifinals of the junior event at Wimbledon, and was seeded 10th at this tournament. He said he enjoyed playing Roddick and Sharan.
"I was really nervous going in. It was fun, both times," he said.
"To get a win under my belt, that felt pretty good."
