Bizzell Hall 845-0544 Sampras rides Open win to No. 6 r Edberg No. 1, Mac now No. 11 NEW YORK (AP) — The wind swirled and the tennis world spun madly as the U.S. Open ended a tur bulent Grand Slam season and be gan the 1990s with fresh faces, new champions and the hint of a revival by an aging master. Parity has come to tennis after two decades of dominance by a handful of superstars. Pete Sampras and Gabriela Saba- tini made the leap to the upper eche lon of the sport by capturing their first major titles, each playing gung- ho, net-charging games that feature power and quickness. Sampras, 19, the youngest U.S. men’s champion in history, jumped from 12th to sixth in the ATP rank ings Monday after beating Andre Agassi in the final on a chilly, breezy Sunday evening to win the $350,000 top prize. Sabatini, 20, beat two-time de fending champion Steffi Graf in the women’s final with a surprisingly good new net game and boosted her standing in Monday’s Virginia Slims ranking. Sabatini, who also pocketed $350,000, is still No. 4, but the points she picked up by winning the Open narrowed the gap between her and No. 3 Monica Seles. For the first time since 1966, eight different players claimed the top honors in tennis this year: Ivan Lendl and Steffi Graf won the Aus tralian Open; Andres Gomez and Monica Seles won the French; Stefan Edberg and Martina Navratilova won Wimbledon; and Sampras and Sabatini took the U.S. titles. “There are no easy matches any more because there are too many good young players,” Lendl said af ter losing to Sampras last week in the quarterfinals. Navratilova, who lost in the fourth round to Manuela Maleeva-Frag- niere, shared the same opinion about the women’s game. “It’s good that there are surprises. It’s not as predictable as it once was,” she said. It was more than exciting, it was chaotic, a random assault on the big gest names in the game from start to finish: Edberg, the top seed, blown out in the first round by Alexander Volkov; Becker, No. 2, blasted in the semis by Agassi; No. 3 Lendl gone in the quarters; No. 8 Brad Gilbert knocked out in the third round by Amos Mansdorf; No. 11 Michael Chang beaten in the third round by Andrei Cherkasov. On the women’s side, the most no table early casualty was Monica Seles, taken out in the third round by Italy’s Linda Ferrando, who was in turn beaten by Soviet Leila Meskhi. John McEnroe, 31, played some of the most masterful tennis of tournament until he lost to stronger, quicker and moreaccurj Sampras in the semifinals. McEnroe moved up from 11th in Monday’s rankings anch he plans to continue his comeba. His next Grand Slam event w Australia, where he started theve by getting tossed out after a curs and racket-throwing tantrum. Edberg remains No. 1 for the® ment, with Becker second, Le; third, Agassi fourth and Coir fifth. But Sampras is coming strong and McEnroe is threatenuii Jennifer Capriati, ranked 12lb the women’s tour, also may be res to make her move in 1991 as she proaches age 15. “Nobody ts dominating and eve body is challenging,” said onet kingpin Jimmy Connors. “It’spi for the he sport — for the playerst the fans.” My Macintosh is more important to me than my car. I lent my car to my sister. But nobody’s taking my Macintosh. Jason Jimerson B.A. Sociology, Earlham College M.A. Sociology, University of Virginia Ph.D. Candidate, Sociology, University of Chicago “I don’t know how anybody gets through college today without a Macintosh. Sometimes I have so many assignments that I barely have time for sleep. Yet my Macintosh allows me to get my work done on time—without making sacrifices. “Working on my dissertation and field studies means collecting an incredible amount of information. So jumping from one program to another with ease is imperative, as is quickly making charts and graphs. By enabling me to do these things, Macintosh probably saves me an hour and a half each day ‘Another great thing about the Macintosh is that it makes you feel technically confident. Remember putting toys together when you were a kid? Who reads the directions? Nobody. You look at the picture of the bike and you know exactly what to do. “The Macintosh operates the same way I actually taught a friend to use one in two minutes. “What would my life be like without a Macintosh? Scary” Hurry over to the Micro Computer Center for details about the special pricing and financing available during the "Back-to-School" sale running through September 15th.
