Farina Elia was unable to sustain the momentum, however, and Davenport broke back for 2-2 and broke again for 4-2. When it came to serving out the set, the tall, powerful Californian was unable to convert her first two sets points but did convert the third, luring Farina Elia into netting a backhand The second set was hardly a contest.

The Italian double-faulted to 0-40 in the final game and netted a forehand on match point.Serena Williams made no comment about her stalker, Albrecht Strohmeyer, from Frankfurt, in her post-match interview. A high-ranking umpire has accused the United States Tennis Association of denying him top matches because he is black. He had originally been selected to to work only until Friday. “I went in on Friday to say goodbye and they told me: ‘Oh, your last day is tomorrow’,” Hollins said “Then I got assigned a match on the Grandstand.

Is that a coincidence?”Hollins is not the first official to be at odds with the USTA. Some years ago a line judge complained that he had been told he was too fat to work at the tournament. The gist of his case was that he was refused work at Flushing Meadows because he had broken a chair But that, he insisted, was at another tournament.. British interest in this year’s US Open ended with a double blow at Flushing Meadows in New York overnight. But unfortunately, when it counted, I gave him a little too much respect.”I mean, he’s not playing that great I’d be surprised if he wins his next match. To be honest with you, I’d be very surprised.”It’s very disappointing There’s no other way to put it This is a Grand Slam.

I thought I played well at Wimbledon – didn’t take my opportunity there. I mean, this I thought I had a great opportunity again.”I’ve just got to look at the positive and say ‘I’m playing well, feeling fit, feeling strong.’”Next year, 2003, I’ve really got to get it together at the majors and try to push it stronger, do better.”Sampras will now face third-seeded German Tommy Haas, who beat Thomas Enqvist of Sweden 6-4 3-6 3-6 6-4 6-4.The American said: “I feel pretty good I feel like it’s a tough match Playing Greg is difficult You don’t get a ton of rhythm It’s kind of hit-and-miss tennis. You kind of hang in there against Greg.”I thought he played pretty flawless Really mixed up his serves, first and second He kind of had me guessing a lot the whole match I thought Greg played well. I thought he handled the nerves well.”Henman’s serve was broken twice in the first set, once in the second and twice in the third as Chela took advantage of a below-par performance to win 6-3 6-3 6-2.Henman said: “When I’m serving, I can’t get any release from my shoulder or my elbow.
