Seles' comeback continues
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Top-seeded Steffi Graf's draw in next week's U.S.
Open is fraught with peril from the first round on.
No. 2 Monica Seles, on the other hand, drew a rosy path yesterday as she embarked on a return to her first Grand Slam championship since she was stabbed two years ago.
Men's top seed Andre Agassi also drew a tough first-round opponent in Bryan Shelton, with the winner perhaps facing former two-time champion Stefan Edberg in the third round.
"That's not an easy start for Andre," Davis Cup captain Tom Gullikson said. "But he's playing unbelievable tennis on hard courts this summer. He has a 20-match winning streak."
Pete Sampras, the No. 2 seed, has a chance to exact revenge in the second round against Peruvian Jaime Yzaga, who wore down the two-time champ last year in the round-of-16 when Sampras was still recovering from an injury.
"Pete hasn't had a great summer since Wimbledon, but he's starting to get his game in shape," Gullikson said.
The top half of the women's draw is full of traps for Graf, a three-time winner who lost in the final last year to Arantxa Sanchez Vicario. Graf begins against Amanda Coetzer, who beat her in the first round last week in the Canadian Open. Also lurking in that 16th of the draw are Nathalie Tauziat, Chanda Rubin and Helena Sukova.
Seles, co-ranked No.1 by the World Tennis Association but seeded No.2, has a breeze by comparison. A week after starting her comeback by winning in Canada, Seles plays in the first round against Ruxandra Dragomir of Romania. The most dangerous players Seles could face before the quarters are Marianne Werdel Witmeyer in the third round and Lori McNeil in the fourth round. Seles is then seeded to face Jana Novotna in the quarters and No.4 Conchita Martinez in the semis.
BOSTON — Boston College started with nationally ranked Michigan and Virginia Tech last year and fell into an 0-2 hole. So this year, the Eagles made their schedule even tougher.
Boston College ready for kickoff

Starting with Sunday's Kickoff Classic against No. 12 Ohio State, Boston College plays three ranked teams in a row. Overall, the No. 22 Eagles play six teams ranked in the preseason Top 25.
So why would Coach Dan Henning agree to play in the Kickoff Classic?
"It fits all the criteria of what we're doing here and what we're trying to get done," he said, noting that the added exposure and revenue from the game — along with the recruiting boost from playing in East Rutherford, N.J. — were too much to pass up.
After the Buckeyes, the Eagles will face several ranked teams including No. 9 Notre Dame and No. 11 Miami.
Despite the loss of leading tackler Stephen Boyd and first-round draft pick Mike Mamula, the Eagles' defense remains solid this year. But the offense will depend upon the continued emergence of Mark Hartsell and the receivers.
Hartsel was one of the top sophomore quarterbacks in the nation last year.
completing 159 of 257 passes for 1,864 yards and 13 touchdowns. His coach has even higher hopes for him this season.
"I hope that he will continue to play at the level he played last year, and take a step further into that wonderful land of intangible abilities that come out of true quarterbacks," Henning said.
"He's a big strong athlete that can throw the ball. But to become a great quarterback, there's a trait there that comes out in the big game, and it comes out in the most important part of the game. And I hope that he's able to do that."
The only thing holding Hartssell back at this point is the inexperience of the young men expected to catch his passes. Kenyatta Watson, the top returning receiver, is recovering from a left hamstring injury, and Greg Grice is suspended for the first two games.
Watson is expected to be ready for the opener. But if not, the Eagles will rely on three young receivers: freshman Anthony DiCosmo, redshirt freshman Dennis Harding and sophomore Steve Everson.
Freshmen Derrick Crittenden and Brandon King also are standing by if needed.
"I think Kenyatta's going to play," Henning said. "If he plays and gets hurt, there are three freshmen that are going to get a shot."
No. 22 Boston College and No. 12 Ohio State travel to E. Rutherford, N.J., Saturday to meet in the season-opening Kickoff Classic.
