Defeat of Seles leads to tennis star's fifth title
The Associated Press
Steffi Graf wins U.S. Open
game before tying it 1-1 by holding at love. She broke to 2-1 and stayed ahead to 5-3 as Seles tried all kinds of novel tactics for her with little success.

Show You Care
NEW YORK — Steffi Graf never clutched a Grand Slam trophy under more bizarre circumstances, or took more pleasing do it.
Buffeted by wind, drenched by a thunderstorm, Graf wore a look of sheer bliss as lightning crackled over the rim of the stadium.
"There is no relief of it being over. It is a joy of winning it and playing that well," Graf said. "I didn't expect to be able to show that kind of tennis today. That is why I am so excited."
"I don't think I felt the rain at all," she said after capturing her fifth U.S. Open yesterday with a 7-5, 6-4 victory over Monica Seles.
This was Graf at her best, putting aside jitters that made her stomach churn, blanking out all her worries
"Sooner or later, I better do it in a match or I am going to be 40 years old and still never try it," Seles said of her surprise attacks. "It was successful a few times, and a few times it wasn't. At least I had the guts to do it a few times today, which I didn't do before in my life."
Near the end of one of the greatest and worst years of her life, Graf captured her third straight Grand Slam title and the 21st of her career and strengthened arguments that she is the best women's tennis player in history.
about her father's tax evasion trial in Germany, and showing Seles and the whole world who is really No. 1.
Graf timed her final volley perfectly, knocking off Seles in the final for the second year in a row and beating the storm by seconds.
Yet Graf broke right back after getting four break points. Graf didn't waste that opportunity, closing out the set with a service winner up the middle.
But serving for the set at 5-4, Graf finally suffered one lapse when Seles bore down and forced her to chase down shots. With the first break point Seles managed, she capitalized on it with a solid overhead smash.
Amid thunder and lightning, Graf forehand volley clipped the net cord and hopped out of Seles' reach. If the ball had popped back the other way, they would have been off the court immediately, waiting out the rain.
"I really needed to take time between the points today," she said. "I wanted to calm down, concentrate on where I wanted to hit it. Even though I was nervous, I still played the points well. I guess I believe in myself."
Graf's timing and accuracy were nearly perfect the whole match. She served 10 aces and kept Seles scrambling from corner to corner.
"Steff clearly is No. 1. Anyone can see that," said Seles, who still shares the No. I ranking with Graf.
Graf, after almost skipping the U.S. Open because of a calf injury, won this tournament while her jailed father, Peter, was on trial in
Graf set the tone by making Seles work hard to hold serve in the first
Germany for evading taxes on $28 million of her income. She remains under investigation in that case.
"There was a big question of how I would be able to play," said
Graf said she was so nervous because she felt she hadn't played well the whole tournament, despite not dropping a set.
Steffl Graf
Graf, who has won the last six Grand Slam events she's played. "I was really nervous. Once I got on the court, I loosened up and I was so much more relaxed. I don't know how or why."
Seles' serve-and-volley attempt to start the second set failed, and Graf broke her, then held serve to win her fourth straight game. That was all the lead Graf needed as she raced the approaching thunderstorm to close out the match.
Padres put an end to Cardinal's streak
Valenzuela's pitching throws off St. Louis
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Cardinals ran into a pitcher who was just as streaky as they were.
Fernando Valenzuela won his eighth straight decision and Wally Joyner hit a three-run homer as the San Diego Padres won 5-4 yesterday, ending the Cardinals' eight-game winning string.
"If we ever needed a well-pitched game, it was today." Padres manager Bruce Bochy said. "He came through with a great effort."
The NL Central-leading Cardinals had scored 57 runs on 80 hits in their previous six games of the streak, their longest since 1987.
But Valenzuela (13-7) limited them to two runs and five hits in seven innings. He's undefeated in his last 10 starts with a 2.52 ERA in that span, and has his longest winning streak since 1985.
Once again, Fernando was unbelievable, "teammate Tony Gwynn said. 'I don't think he's got the zip he had 10 years ago, but he knows how to pitch."
Valenzuela was in trouble in the fourth when John Mabry broke a scoreless game with a two-run single and Tom Pagnozzi walked to reload the bases. The Padres had Mike Qquist warming up. But Luis Alicea grounded sharply to third for an inning-ending double plav.
"The more you watch him, the more you appreciate him. You realize there are more ways to get people out than just by overpowering them." Gwynn said.
"Ken Caminiti made a good play to get me out of that inning," Valenzuela said. "I think that was the difference in the game right there."
Gary Gaetti hit a two-run home run, his 20th, off Trevor Hoffman in the ninth inning to give him six RBFs in the series. Then Hoffman retired the next three batters for his 35th save.
Now, the Cardinals won't see Busch Stadium much the rest of the regular season — of their 19 remaining games, only six are at home. The Cardinals, who held their 1 1/2-game lead as Houston lost 5-2 to Colorado, wound up an 8-4 homestand and begin a seven-game West Coast trip today with a three-game series against San Francisco.
"We're real selfish," manager Tony La Rusa said. "We didn't win today, so nobody's patting themselves on the back."
After losing the first two games of the series by 8-3 scores, the Padres entered the day a game back of Los Angeles in the NL West. They won to finish a 7-5 road trip, and of their remaining games, 18 will be played in California, including 12 at home.
Todd Stottlemyre (12-11) walked Steve Finley and Ken Caminiti with one out in the sixth. Greg Vaughn followed with an RBI single and Joyner hit an 0-1 pitch over the right-field wall for his eighth home run.
"Going home, to me, is a big deal," Gwynn said. "I'm not one who likes to travel a lot, but I'll gladly do it to go to the playoffs."
Stottiemy allowed only two hits in the first five innings. He worked seven innings and gave up four runs on five hits, striking out seven and walking three.
"There's a point in every game, sometimes two or three places, where you either win or lose the game," Stotlemyre said. "I hit a point where a couple of hitters got away from me."
Gwynn's RBI double off Danny Jackson in the ninth made it 5-2. Gwynn had two hits and was 21-for-49 (428) on the Padres' trip.
Packers face mirror image
The Associated Press
They felt like they were looking in a mirror.
GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Green Bay Packers had an eerie feeling while watching films of their Monday-night opponent, the Philadelphia Eagles.
"You look at them, you go, 'Hey, that's our play!' 'Hey, that's our play, too,' Packers tight end Keith Jackson said. "There are so many similarities."
Eagles coach Ray Rhodes, Mike Holmgren's former defensive coordinator who left Green Bay on bad terms, has done a good job of imitating the Packers.
or inducing Rhodes brings a mirror-image offense, a similar defensive strategy, a former coach and seven Packers castoffs in his first visit to Lambeau Field since quitting at Green Bay after the 1993 season.
After winning his fifth Super Bowl ring with San Francisco in 1994, Rhodes was hired by the Eagles, and his first move was to steal assistant Jon Gruden from the Packers to be his offensive coordinator.
With Green Bay as their model, the Eagles were immediately successful. Like Green Bay, the Eagles were bumped from the playoffs by Dallas.
The Packers and Eagles both won their season openers last week. Although the Packers are a touchdown favorite, the Eagles' familiarity with them is cause for concern.
"Their defense has definitely worked against this type of offense," Packers quarterback Brett Favre said.
"I've looked at both sides of the
ball this week," Holmgren said. And it appears they're very similar to what we are doing, a lot of the same things."
The former Packers include starters Ed West at tight end and James Willis at middle linebacker, along with key backups in wideout Mark Ingram and linebacker Joe Kelly.
But the Packers are elated that Ty Detmer is still a backup behind Rodney Peete in Philadelphia.
"It would be tragic if Ty got in there because Ty knows everything," Packers safety LeRoy Butler said. "I'm sure he's in a meeting right now saying, 'LeRoy does this, this and this.'"
"Ty is ready to go at any time," Rhodes said. "The last preseason game, Ty went out there and was like a surgeon and went to work. His number will be called before the season's over."
White said he was looking forward to seeing Rhodes and his scowling face at Lambeau Field again.
None of the Packers has diminished respect for Rhodes, who guided Green Bay to a No.2 defensive ranking before his defection. Although Holmgren didn't talk to Rhodes for a year after the breakup, both coaches said they were still friends.
"He was fun to play for and I actually saw him smile," White said. "I understood. None of us wanted him to leave."
