Day brings upsets at U.S. Open
Capriati, Stich lose chances at title
The Associated Press
Jennifer Capriati was upset in the first round of the U.S. Open yesterday, done in by her own errors in a 1-6, 6-4, 6-4 loss to Leila Meshki.
Meski, from Georgia, stuck to the baseline and let the women's seventh seed unravel. She broke Capriati's serve on four unforced errors in the seventh game of the third set and served out the match when Capriati hit a forehand long. The poor stroke was Capriati's 61st unforced error of the match.
Capriati was the second big name eliminated on a crowded second day.
Earlier, former Wimbledon champion Michael Stich lost in four sets.
Heinck Holm of Sweden was the one who defeated sixth-seeded Stich, the 1991 Wimbledon champion from Germany, 6-3, 7-6 (10-8) 3-6, 4-3.
Stefan Edberg barely survived a five-set scare from an upstart Frenchman yesterday to successfully begin his quest for a third consecutive Open title and top-seeded Jim Courier won in straight sets.
Edberg, bothered by trouble with
his normally potent serve, dropped seven consecutive games at one stretch and appeared listless in the New York heat and humidity. But he had enough strength and too much talent for Oliver Delaire in a 6-2, 6-4, 7-6 (9-7), 5-7, 6-3 victory, his 15th consecutive victory at Flushing Meadow since a first-round loss in 1909.
The match lasted 3:24.
"I had a chance and I didn't take it," Dalatre said. "That's life."
Edberg said he was happy to have escaped with a victory from a match in which he did not play well.
Edberg's match on the sun-baked stadium court started a long day of action at the National Tennis Center.
After a desultory opening day in which just seven of the 32 seeded players took the courts, day two was
more of atypical August day in the big Apple; hazy sun, temperatures around 90 degrees and lots of hustle and bustle.
It was a record-breaking day, too,
with 22,357 fans jamming the
grounds. The old record for a U.S.
Open session was 22,166, for the day
session on Aug. 26, 1991.
Counter beat Marcus Aurelio Goritz of Spain, 6-1, 6-3, 6-3 Michael Chang, the men's seventh seed, crushed by Shelby Cannon 6-1, 7-5, 6-2, on the grandstand court. Thomas Muster, the 12th seed from Austria, beat Alex Corretta 6-4, 6-4, 6-3.
Jana Novotna, the Wimbledon women runner-up and No. 8 seed, beat Angelica Gavaldon 62-1, 64-4, and the women's 11th seed, Manuela Maleva-Fragniere, bear Larisa Neiland 63-1, 63-1.

Greg Cadaret (1-0) pitched three innings in relief for the victory. Stan Beinda worked the eighth and Jeff Montgomery pitched the ninth for his league-leading 41st save. Miranda gave up six runs on 11 hits in seven innings.
John Jaha drove in a career-high four runs for Milwaukee with a two-run homer in the fourth, his 13th, and a bases-loaded single.
