Sukova defeats Navratilova in U.S. Open
Chang, Sampras to meet again in quarterfinals
KANSAN

NEW YORK — The sad look in Martina Navratilova's eyes, the weak, final wave to the crowd, the disgust in her voice, all told the story U.S. Open fans hated to hear.
Suddenly, she was gone in the round of 16 Sunday, beaten by Helena Sukova again at a crucial moment in her career.
This time, Sukova won 7-5, 6-4, her long arms reaching out to swat returns that Navratilova was a bit too slow to catch. Once before, Sukova was there to stop Navratilova's bid for a Grand Slam, in 1984 at the Australian Open, and end her 74-match winning streak.
The loss left the United States with out a women's singles quarterfinalist for the first time in the tournament's history, dating to 1887.
Navratilova, a month shy of age 37,
was the oldest player in the play,
and she gave it more life than anyone.
Fans packed her matches,
cheered her almost the way they cheered Jimmy Connors when he made his final charges at 39 and 40.
They wanted her to win a fifth Open,
show everyone she wasn't too old,
too slow to do it again.
In truth, she was. She couldn't get to the net quickly enough to pick up Sukova's returns. She couldn't volley with the agility and sharpness she had for so many years. She hit too many shots just a tad wide or long, and she couldn't put pressure on Sukova's serves.
Navratilova said. "I felt like I was playing golf. They weren't going in by inches. I didn't make one lob. I tried that shot too many times. If I play well, I win easily. If I'm a little off it's always a struggle. There wasn't any huck for me today. She made some great shots and I didn't.
"They just weren't falling,"
"The crowd was fantastic. This is what I always wanted. To have the chance and the crowd. Then I blow it, I was tied up in knots. I didn't let myself go and play with reckless abandon."
It was Sukova, 6-foot-2 with long pipestem arms, who had the lucky net cords, the shots that nicked the edges of the lines, the calls that went her way. She needed all that luck. She had been out 21/2 months this year with a broken foot, and she was the second-oldest in the tournament at 28.
And just like that, in 1 hour and 23 minutes, Navratilova was gone, like so many other players in this Open.
her think about, quitting tennis. And it makes her think about fighting back, going for a championship once more.
This loss, Navratilova said, makes
"Unfortunately, all those things go through my head in the match," she said. "It doesn't matter how much you win. You want to win one more time. I had a chance here and I blew it. It's like a drug. You want to taste it one more time. It isn't like I need it. It would be a nice way to go. I know my game is there. My mind won't let me perform. That's what aggravates me, and why i bang my head on the wall."
In other women's matches, No. 2
Arantxa Sanchez Vicario beat No. 14
Nathalie Tauziat 6-4, 6-3, No. 10 Magdalena Maleea defeated her sister Katerina 6-2, 6-3, and Natalia Zvereva beat Maria Jose Gaidano to reach the quarterfinals.
Among the men, Pete Sampas and Michael Chang set up a quarterfinal match. Alexander Volkov also advanced to the quarters, beating Chuck Adams 6-2, 7-6 (7-2), 6-1. Volkov will play No. 12 Thomas
Muster, who beat Brad Gilbert 6-4, 7-5, 6-7 (5-7), 6-2.
Fourteen years ago, Sampras and Chang played each other for the first time on a school court in Poway, Calif., near San Diego. They were about 7 years old, toting big rockets they needed both hands to swing.
Neither one can remember who won, though Sampras thinks he might have taken it and Chang recalls it went three sets.
Now the U.S. Open quarters will be their playground following Samra's 6-4, 5-4, 7-6 (7-4) victory over Thomas Enquist and Chang's 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 decision over Worries Ferreira.
"It is pretty amazing where we have come from and now where we are," Sampras said. "He is the youngest French Open winner. I am the youngest U.S. Open winner. There are pretty interesting memories to go back to."
They played each other all the way through the juniors and then eight matches as professionals, Chang winning six of those.
Men's rugby teams steal victories at Heart of America tournament
Coach says three teams still need to improve play
By Anne Felstet
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansasmen's rugby teams went two-for-three this weekend at the Heart of America tournament in Kansas City, Mo.
On Saturday, the senior reserve side team squashed Southwest Missouri State's team, 57-0. On Sunday, the collegiate team took an 18-17 loss to Missouri. The club team beat the Saint Louis Rambler, 47-25.
Rick Renfro, coach of the senior reserve side team, which consists of collegiate, club and first-time players.
said that the team's strength was its players' positioning without the ball. He said that Mark Soffee, club player, Randy Renfro, club player, and Herman Leke, collegiate-side player, ran well without the ball.
He said the game also illustrated that the team needed to be in better physical shape. To accomplish that, Renfro said the team would spend more time running at practice.
The team needed to run plays and support the other players, and they did that, Rick Renfro said.
Nine tries, which is similar to a goal,
produced 45 of the total 57 points. Six
conversions, all kicked by Mana
Rangi, completed the scoring.
Dominic Barnao, the coach for all
three Kansas teams, said that the club team needed to improve on its urgency, because the team hesitated and was slow to respond to some situations.
"The team will be working hard to accomplish more in a limited time," Barnao said of improving the team's urgency.
This weekend, the teams will travel to Omaha for nonmite games, which do not count in league standings. The club side takes on the Omaha rugby club, the senior reserve side plays Creighton's B team, and the collegiate team plays Creighton's A team.
To increase the team's urgency, Barnao said the pace of practice drills would increase.
KU Rugby Club member Mark Duffy, from Kansas City, rushes through the St. Louis Ramblers' defense. The Jayhawks won Sunday's game against the Ramblers 47 to 25.

Brewers keep Royals struggling at home
The Associated Press
Orosco has not given up a run in his last 13 innings in the past nine games.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Milwaukee manager Phil Garner is not going to have to look too far for his bullpup close if Jesse Orosco keeps this up.
Orosco earned his sixth save yesterday when he struck out four of the six batters he faced in the Brewers' 3-2 victory over the fading Kansas City Royals.
"I'm trying to get more aggressive, trying to make guys chase pitches," Orosco said. "Before, I was just trying to make pitches that would make guys hit ground balls. Now I'm more aggressive. I'm trying to get ahead in the count and when I do, I go after the guy.
"I'm surprised I'm getting so many strikeouts. It's scary."
Orosco has struck out 21 batters in his last 12 1-3 innings, including the side in the ninth yesterday. Garner stayed with the lefty Orosco even with three right-handed hitters coming to bat.
Garner said it is too early to say what role Rosco will fill next year.
"He's been outstanding," Garner said. "As I watch him throw, I just keep staying with him. I had to face the guy and I couldn't hit him. Jesse's got a funny delivery. It's easy for a righthander to pick up. It's not like some lefthanders where it is easy for the righthanders to pick up the ball."
The Royals went into the game trailing Chicago by 61/2 games in the AL West. Kansas City had just swept Boston but played lushest to start this homestand, nursing several scoring opportunities in the early innings.
Mieske, hitting .194 on 6-for-31 with four RBL knocked in the winning run in the seventh off Greg Cadarat (1-1), who had relieved Mike Magnane.
Seldom-used Matt Mieske singled in the winning run and Pat Listack hit his first home in a month for the Brewers.
Magnante allowed only three hits in six innings, but one was Listisch's game-tying, two-run homer in the sixth.
Cadaret began the seventh by hitting John Jaha, who went to second on Dave Nilsson's sacrifice. Mieske followed with a liner to center.
Jaine Navarro (10-9) won his third consecutive decision, giving up two runs and six hits in seven innings. He struck out six and walked one.
Kansas City scored on a sacrifice fly by Mike Macfarlane in the first and another in the third by George Brett.
Orosco struck out Kevin McReynolds, Gary Gaetti and Greg Gagne to end the game.
Milwaukee tied the game 2-2 in the sixth when Darryl Hamilton singled and Listach lined a shot just over the wall in left field. It was the third homer of the season for Listach, his first since Aug. 1.
New tennis coach played pro tour
By Anne Felstet

Mark Riley, the new men's assistant tennis coach, knows the game.
He was a District III All-American at Kalamazoo College in Kalamazoo, Mich. he played and coached on the professional tour, he was the assistant men's and women's tennis coach at the University of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia, and he coached underprivileged children in the Washington, D.C., area.
Now he has set his sights on helping the Kansas men's team improve.
Michael Center, men's tennis head coach, said Riley was highly recommended to replace Mike Slattery, the former assistant.
Slatter left the team earlier this year to accept an associate head tennis position at South Alabama.
Center met Riley last summer when the two were recruiting at a junior national tournament. At that meeting Center told him about the open position.
As Center's assistant, Riley will be responsible for helping with every aspect of running the program. Center said Riley would help with recruiting, fund raising and scheduling and would help conduct practices.
"I think he will be a very good addition to the staff." Center said.
Riley said he thought his tennis experience would help him in coaching the Kansas team, that he had learned the most about tennis from his former college coach, George Acker. Riley said Acker taught him that every player was an individual and that no two players could be taught the same.
"A coach can never compromise the integrity of an individual player," Riley said.
He also said Acker balanced academics and athletics, which was a very important aspect of college sports.
Riley said he thought his professional tennis experience would help him because he would be able to tell the players what competitive tennis was really like.
Riley joined the pro tour when his twin brother Eric was competing on it. Riley said he went on the road with Eric as his doubles partner. Mark Riley also played singles.
While he was on the protour, Riley said he played doubles with Kansas women's tennis coach Chuck Merzbacher.
Riley said his goal for the year was to give Kansas players the opportunity to be successful on the court.
