Tennis player prepares for future
Sophomore balances school and athletics
By Anne Felstet
Kansan sportswriter
Taking 18 credit-hours during a semester can be a fearsome thought for some students.
Kansas sophomore tennis player Reid Slattery not only carries 18 hours, but he balances that with daily tennis practices, which include three hours of work on the court, one hour of weightlifting and 30 minutes of conditioning workouts.
His 18 hours include general courses and some business prerequisites. He said that he was majoring in business because he could go into the business side of athletics when his tennis career was over and that business would offer him many opportunities.
Slattery, who is one of the team's stop returning players, compiled a 19-12 singles record last season and a 15-4 doubles record with then-freshman partner Michael Isroff.
Slattery that Michael Center, men's tennis coach, instilled a lot of confidence in him by placing him at the No.2 position as a freshman.
Center said it was easy to have faith in Slattery because he showed up ready to perform and he gave his best every day.
Since he has been at Kansas, Slattery said that he had worked to
improve his weaknesses and that he had become more aggressive. He said he also had learned to use his 6-foot-4 frame to his advantage.
"He moves really well for a guy his size." Center said.
Slattery said he had hopes of playing on the professional tour after college. This summer, he got a taste of the professional circuit. He said he played in the "minor leagues" of the professional tour in Midwestern and California tournaments.
That experience is different from college athletics because there was more cutthroat competition, he said.
"These tournaments are a living for these people; it's their livelihood," Slattery said.
Before playing in the pros, Slattery has made some short range goals for himself. This fall, he said he wanted to qualify as an individual and as part of the Kansas team for the Regional Rolex tournament. The tournament which is held the last week of October, is the indoor national championship tournament.
J. P. Visspeo, sophomore player from Puerto Rico, said Slattery worked hard and was always looking to improve. He said Slattery had confidence in himself and was not afraid to play anyone.
Center said that Slattery's mental toughness was one of his greatest attributes.
"Satterty is a mature and tough player for only being a sophomore." Center said. "He carries himself well on the court."

Frenchman continues upsets in U.S. Open
The Associated Press
NEW YORK—Another day, another meet
Cedric Pioline became the first Frenchman in 61 years to reach the seminals of the U.S. Open last night, following his triumph over top-ranked Jim Courier by knocking out No. 8 Andrei Medvedev.
Poline, who has never won a professional tournament and came in seeded No. 15, took advantage of Medvedev's repeated errors in the first two sets and double-faults on crucial points, winning 6-3, 6-1, 3-6, 6-2.
Medvedev lost the second set when he double-faulted with a second serve six feet past the service box. But just when he seen beaten by his own mistakes, Poiline let him back in with a flurry of his own errors and a double-fault on set point.
"To beat him I have to show my best tennis." Medvedev said, "and I was far away from that today."
Proline settled down in the fourth set, pounding approach shots into the corners.
Polline flew his 19-year-old opponent was nervous at the start of his first match on the stadium court, with its larger, noisier crowd and distract-
tions. But Pliny, 24, also acknowledged his own problems.
"I was very up and down," he said.
"Sometimes I played very well, sometimes I played badly. I was more consistent than him."
Poline, seeking to become the first French U.S. Open champion since Henri Cochet won the Nationals in 1928, next faces Wally Masur.
Masur, the oldest man left in the U.S. Open has wrinkles around his eyes, furrups in his brow and a look of perpetual exhaustion on his unshaven face. Masur is the Australian version of Jimmy Connors, minus the flash, cockiness and championships. In Australia, fans love him. Around the world he is virtually unknown.
Yet here is Masur, 30 years old and in the semifinals of a Grand Slam event for the second time in 42 tries, 6-2, 7-5, 7-5 winner over Magnus Larsson, who gave all he had in his fourth-round upset of upset Becker.
into the semifinals as he clawed his way in. He trailed 5-0 in the fifth set against fellow Australian Brian Morgan in the fourth round, then simply refused to lose, grabbing seven straight games.
It wasn't nearly as tough against Larsson, who missed by inches the same kind of groundstrokes he made by inches against Becker. Masur never lost a service game and took Larsson apart at the net, winning 59 of 82 approaches. Larsson ventured to the net only 26 times, winning just half those points.
Masur didn't so much play his way
Larsson's 15 aces kept him close, but when it came down to the final point, Larsson didn't prolong the end at all, double-faulting and ending the match.
"Yeah, it was a different match for me when I played against Becker," Larsson said. "No one expected me to do well. I played a great match I felt a little more pressure on my serve today, couldn't keep it up. Wally mixed it up very well and didn't give me any chance to win. I was more nervous today and I felt a lot of pressure."
Few players work harder or train more ruggedly than Masur, who runs drills and pumps iron under the guidance of an Australian Rules Football trainer. When Masur took off his shirt
at courtside, his rippling muscles
drew whistles from female fans.
"Today I did play a smart game," Masur said. "I was aware that you can't play this guy too much straight up and down. I confused him pretty much with my serve. I was barely serving two balls in the same place. That is a great tactic, but it is another thing to execute."
Masur, who hadn't gotten past the third round at the U.S. Open in nine previous appearances, became the first Australian in the Open semifinals since Daren Cahill in 1988. The only other Grand Slam semifinal Masur reached was at home in the Australian Open in 1987, which is played on a grass court. En route he defeated reigning Wimbledon champion Boris Becker.
Masur also became the first unseeded man to reach the men's semifinals in New York since Connors did two years ago and only the 26th man to do it since seedings began in the U.S. Nationals in 1927. Only one other man, Gene Scott in 1967, got as far as the semifinals without having to beat a seeded player on the way.
Masur didn't so much play his way
"I am happy to have made the semis, but I don't want to stop there," Masur said.
