Seles advances in U.S. Open
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Monica Seles took another step toward her third U.S. Open title yesterday, reaching the quarterfinals by defeating 11th-seeded Anke Huber 6-1, 6-4.
Also advancing to the women's quarters were No. 5 Jana Novotna and, in a mild upset, big-serving Brenda Schultz-McCarthy of the Netherlands.
Novotna defeated unseeded Katarina Studenikova of Slovakia 6-4, 6-4, while the 11th-seeded Schulz-McCarthy defeated No. 7 Kimiko Date of Japan 7-5, 3-6, 6-2.
In a fourth-round men's match
fourth-seeded Boris Becker beat
No. 13 Marc Rosset of Switzerland
7-6 (7-4), 6-3, 6-3.
Seles won the women's title in 1991 and 1992. In April 1993, she was stabbed by a spectator in a match in Hamburg, Germany.
Ranked No. 1 in the world at the time, Seles didn't return to tennis until last month at the Canadian Open, which she won.
Huber, who broke Seles twice and was her toughest opponent at Toronto, again made a strong bid for the victory on the hardcourts of the National Tennis Center.
The German broke the tournament's No. 2 seed in the second game of the second set and made Seles stay on court for one hour and 11 minutes, the first time in the tournament that she has needed more than an hour to win a match.
With his win, Becker became a big favorite for a semifinal berth because his quarterfinal foe will be the winner of the battle between two unseeded players, Patrick McEnroe and Daniel Vacek of the Czech Republic.
Because of a rash of upets,
Becker and No. 1 Andre Assagi
were the only seeded players left in the top half of the men's singles draw at the National Tennis Center.
It was the Becker of old, the 1989 U.S. Open champion, who took the court against Rossett. Becker blasted 14 aces and, after the first set, controlled the match, which took only 2:01.
Steffi Graf, a three-time U.S. Open champion, and 1990 winner Gabriela Sabatini also reached the quarterfinals, along with unseeded Amy Frazier, a 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 winner over 12th-seeded Natasha Zvereva.
Playing third-round matches, one round behind the women, winners in the men's singles Sunday included second-seeded, two-time champion Pete Sampras, No. 3 Thomas Muster, No. 5 Michael Chang, No. 8 Michael Stich, No. 14 Jim Courier, No. 15 Todd Martin, Byron Black of Zimbabwe and Michael Tebbutt of Australia, who upset 12th-seeded Richard Krajicek of the Netherlands 6-3, 3-6, 6-7 (7-5), 7-6 (7-4), 7-6 (7-4).
Graf beat Chanda Rubin 6-2, 6-2 after Sabatini stopped 14-year-old Martina Hingis of Switzerland 6-2, 6-4.
Sampras defeated Mark Philippoussis, a 6-foot-4 Australian, in a battle of big servers 6-7 (7-5), 7-5, 7-5, 6-3. Together they pounded 42 aces. 27 by Sampras.
Sampras said, "I see a lot of myself in him. We both serve well. We hit big off the ground. I think he has to not hit so hard and play a little smarter out there. He has a lot of time to improve."
Meanwhile, Arantxa Sanchez Vicario's U.S. Open ended one Sunday too soon.
Sanchez Vicario said, "I think I'm a human being, and I think I cannot win every match, but, of course, I wanted to win this match."
Sunday.
Sanchez Vicario has made a habit of playing in Grand Slam tournament finals. She had been in six of the past seven Grand Slam title matches.
The streak ended here.
"I never gave up," said Fernandez, who trailed 4-2 in the second set before rallying. "She was playing well, not making any mistakes."
"I was missing by a little, and I think I persevered in the second set, even though I was down a break. I knew I was still in it. That one break that tied it at 4-all turned things around for me."
Sanchez Vicario said, "I think I should have won the match in two sets because I was playing well in the beginning. At 4-2 (in the second set) I was a little unlucky, but she went more for the shots than I did."
Although usually camped on the baseline, the pair used the entire court in their long-rally battle, moving each other around, probing for a weakness or an opening.
Fernandez, who has reached the final of three Grand Slam tournaments but has yet to win a title, changed tactics, occasionally following her serve to the net and hitting winning volleys.
It worked, and when Sanchez Vicario sailed her last two backhands long, Fernandez had a quarterfinal date with Sabatini. Graf meets Frazier in the other quarter in the top half of the draw.

Horoscopes
"I feel a little fortunate to be alive in this tournament," Fernandez said. "The first day I could have been out. I've had tough matches throughout the week, and they're going to get tougher."
Today's birthday (Sept. 5):
Visualize your future in detail by October. You'll be lucky with money, but don't spend it as fast as it comes in. Search the archives in November to solve a mystery. December's good for setting household goals, and January's best for working with loved ones. Electronics can make your job easier in February. Be patient with your partner in March to succeed. Travel with your sweetheart in May. Play with friends in July.
Arise (March 21-April 19):
You're something of a rebel, but it might be fun to learn to go along in society. If the opportunity comes up today, don't forget your manners! Also, ask a friend about engines or computers. You may be able to fix what you have instead of buying new.
Taurus (April 20-May 20):
There may be little point in discussing your differences today. The other person will be almost as stubborn as you. A date with a person who shares your basic philosophy will be more productive. If a technical difficulty has got you stymied, call an expert.
Gemini (May 21-June 21):
Since you have a lifelong quest to gather the widest assortment of information possible, you should have a great time today.
You might forget to do your job, though! Take care of all your responsibilities before you go off on a new adventure!
This would be a great day to catch up on your reading or watch science-fiction movies. It's also good for complicated procedures like learning how to tailor a jacket. Someone you love may be pushing for an expensive toy. Don't dip into savings for it!
Cancer (June 22-July 22):
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Figure out how to accomplish a project you've had in mind for a while. Focus on financial details first. A close friend or sibling may be able to teach you something very helpful. Get together around dinner, and you'll have a great time in the process!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Today, you may get to tackle a complicated problem. Your experience isn't quite enough, so you may have to try something different. A shopping trip could go over budget pretty easily if you're tempted by pretty things. Be careful!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23):
This is a great day for a party! If you don't have one scheduled, call up a few interesting people and have lunch in a place you've never been. This evening, you may master something you thought you couldn't do. The key is to read the manual.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21):
Today, success will go to the people who are more logical than emotional. Don't hold back your feelings; put them into words. Repay a social obligation this evening. Put in an appearance and find an old
friend, then go do what you want.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): This is a wonderful day for romance. Get out of your dull routine and try something outrageous. A seminar this evening should be very interesting. You may learn a different way of looking at an old situation. Be willing to abandon an old stereotype.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Travel should go well for you this morning. If you can't get away, do the planning. You could make some good business connections if you go out tonight. The evening might be more expensive than you'd planned, however. Don't throw your money around.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
Before you go off to play, check your accounts payable. There may be a bill in that stack on your desk that you forgot! This evening should be lots of fun. Travel and artistic endeavors are both favored, so a visit to the galleries is perfect!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):
If you're working with a charity,
you'll get a lot done. Don't give
away all your time and energy,
though. Save some for discussing
your future with your partner.
If you decide to go into debt,
have an expert help you
get the best terms possible!
