SINGAPORE — Michael Chang started with an ace and won the first nine games yesterday in a 6-0, 6-3 victory against Dutchman Dennis Van Scheppingen in the first round of the Singapore Open indoor tournament.
"It was a good start for me," said Chang, a 1996 U.S. Open finalist and the tournament's toot seed.
There was thunderous applause from about 1,000 spectators when Van Scheppingen, ranked 103rd on the ATP Tour, finally won the fourth
Playing his first match since the U.S. Open three weeks ago, Chang served nine aces, with speeds ranging up to 105 mph.
In another first-round match yesterday, No. 3 seed Paul Haarwuis of the Netherlands found that honeymooning wasn't good for his tennis.
His next opponent is Nicolas Pereira of Venezuela, a 6-1, 7-6, 7-2 winner against Gustavo Kuerten of Brazil.
Haaruis was expected to reach the semifinals but fell to unseeded Patrik Fredriksson of Sweden 6-3, 6-2.
"The loss is 100 percent to do with getting married," Haarigh said. "I have not been able to practice as

Fredriksson, ranked 137th, lost trying to qualify for the tournament but was brought in to replace American Jared Palmer, who withdrew due to a shoulder injury.
He broke Haarhuis' serve in the second game of the first set and twice more in the second.
Haarhuis said his 20-year-old opponent played with a nothing-to-lose attitude.

"This is the biggest win for me," Fredriksson said. "Because I found so late that I was playing, I couldn't think about the match so I was relaxed."
In other matches, German qualifier Martin Sinner ousted Kenneth Carlsen of Denmark 7-5, 6-3 in 67 minutes; Britain's Greg Rusedski beat Australian Todd Woodbridge 6-3, 6-1, and another Australian, Mark Woodforde, beat American Vincent Spadea 7-5, 6-7.

Peter Graf is on trial in Mannheim charged with failing to report $28 million of his daughter's earnings from 1989-93 to German tax authorities.
Graf had no trouble concentrating against Po, the world's No. 35 player, as she slammed forehands all across the court. She ran off the first 12 points before the American could break onto the scoreboard with a backhand winner.
Most of the top players in the field will first see action today, including No. 2 seed Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario, No. 3 Croatian Iva Majoli and No. 5 Lindsay Davenport.

Cowboys welcome Irvin back after five-game suspension
The Associated Press
IRVING, Texas — When the Dallas Cowboys return to the practice field tomorrow, Michael Irvin will be there.
The wide receiver's five-game suspension by the NFL about his involvement in a drug and sex scandal ended with the Cowboys' 23-19 victory against Philadelphia Monday night.
Asked yesterday if Irvin, who still owes 800 hours of community service, will be an immediate starter against Arizona on Oct. 13, coach Barry Switzer laughed and said, "the minute he walks out there we're going to throw to him.
"I think we can win some games now," Switzer said. "We're a pretty good team. You don't look at the record 2-3. You look at the long season we still have ahead."
Switzer said the victory against Philadelphia and the Irvin's return could be the turning point of the season.
"We get an emotional lift when he's around," he said. "He's a great competitor. The fear of losing is deep in Michael."
"We came up a little short," Switzer said. "But we've got it turned around now. We won a hard game on the road."
Switzer said he had hoped the defending Super Bowl champions could be 3-2 in the stretch without Irvin.
Switzer gave the Cowboys yesterday and today off because the team does not play this week and scheduled workouts for tomorrow and Friday followed by a weekend off.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
- Today is a 10.
This would be a marvelous day to begin your around-the-world cruise. If you can't quite manage that yet, at least get started with some serious fantasizing. This often turns out better than the real thing. Get it down on paper.
HOROSCOPES
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov.
21)
The trouble with today is the decibel level. There's just too much noise out there. Even worse, some of it might be about money you owe. If you can't pay a bill yet, let them know when you can. Your willingness to take responsibilities will be appreciated.
-Todav is a 3
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) - Today is a 4.
-Today is a 9.
You're brilliant today.
You also are entertaining
Tonight, get together with
people who share your
interests. If you've got a
date, go. If not, no problem.
You'll find lots of people who want to play once you stop hiding.
Everybody wants to network today, and nobody wants to do the real work! If that happens, go ahead and say no. Late tonight, you could stumble onto the solution to a problem that has been plaguing you for ages. Ask a question in private to find the answer.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)-Today is a 10
Do something today that requires massive brainpower. Use your own awesome talents plus those of at least two other intellectual giants. It'll be fun. This also is a pretty good day for romance, if you're interested in the kind that lasts forever.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) - Today is a 4.
You may notice that a popular idea has a major flaw. It doesn't take your point of view into account. Speak up! Don't be a victim of your own politeness. Other people need your input to help them make fair and ethical decisions.
Aries (March 21-April
19) Today is a $
This is a good morning for negotiations. People are in a cooperative mood. You might get more done working with a partner or agent than you can by yourself. A meeting tonight helps you make a career decision. With new information, the answer becomes obvious.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) - Today is a 3.
Some people are going to be difficult to shut up today. If you listen long enough, you'll find out what's really going on. Don't tip your own hand,
Gemini (May 21-June 21) - Todav is a 10.
though. Your secrets would be all across town by nightfall. That's especially at work.
You could talk the paint off the walls today. If you've been meaning to write an important paper, get that started, too. Fight the tendency to get sidetracked. Don't waste this opportunity gossiping with your friends — do something that will make you rich.
If you have something private to discuss today, make sure you do it with a friend who can keep a secret. If you are not sure, you'll find out! If home is too crowded tonight, you may have to go to a friend's house to get some peace and quiet.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) - Todav is a 3.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -
Today is a 10.
This is an excellent day for you to learn. If there's a book you've been meaning to read or an expert to consult, do it. A social group also might be a good place to make business and personal contacts. Don't talk about a problem at home yet.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) - Todav is a 4.
You'll get interrupted a thousand times today. People will want to talk, and the worst offender could be your own boss. Don't go shopping tonight unless you are made of money. You'll want to buy something beautiful and expensive.
