Seles advances with 6-1, 6-2 trounce
NEW YORK (AP) - Monica
Seles, still promising to set the
tennis world abuzz with her sexy
new garb, put off the fashion
show to concentrate on reaching
the U.S. Open semifinals Tues
day for the first time in her ca
reer.
She wore the same old outfit
and had the same old strokes.
The victim this time was Gigi
Fernandez, only 27 but still a full
decade older than Seles, who
barely broke a sweat in winning
6-1, 6-2 in 53 minutes of tedious
tennis.
Seles has won the Australian
Open this year and her second
straight French Open.
Fernandez didn't act much
like a serious threat on the court
as she sprayed 36 unforced er
rors in her first match against Se
les, who made only 10 errors.
Seles started as if she were
out to break the record for fastest
match of the tournament, win
ning the first four games in 12
minutes while not dropping a
point on serve against a player
appearing in her first Grand
Slam quarterfinal.
"I don't think that I was so
much nervous or impressed by
the event as much as by her
game," Fernandez said ; "She
came out really strong and she
was jumping all over my serve
and serving really well.
"She is always fighting and
thinking. She is a very smart
player, very tenacious, and keeps
coming at you. If you look at her,
you don't think she is a tennis
player. She is not built like a ten
nis player, but her mind just
keeps her in there."
"I think all the great players
have that," Seles said. "I mean,
Chris, Martina, also Jimmy Con
nors, Mac, everybody. I think
you have to have that. I mean
you can't be a dead person on the
court.
A brief lapse in the fifth
game, and a sudden spate of
alert, agressive net play by Fer
nandez, led to a break of Seles'
service at 15-40.
Fernandez still couldn't cope
with Seles' deep returns of ser
vice, and Seles came back to close
out the set at love with a fore
hand crosscourt that Fernandez
couldn't reach.
Fernandez finally held to
start the second set, then held
again after five deuces in the
third game to make it 2-1. Seles
ran into a little resistance with
three break points in the fourth
game, but pulled out the game
and cruised through the next
three games while dropping only
four points.
Giants answer questions
with victory over 49ers
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
(AP) — Since training camp got
under way, the question persisted:
Would the New York Giants go in
the tank the way they did after
winning Super Bowl XXI?
It was the one question that
could get a rise out of coach Ray
Handley.
Beating the San Francisco 49ers
in the season opener Monday
night seems to put a hole in the
tank scenario. And the more opti
mum word might be. Repeat.
"It's still a good feeling," Han
dley said Tuesday, less than 12
hours after the Giants' last-second
16-14 victory over the 49ers in the
new coach's regular-season debut.
"But I learned a long time ago that
you don't celebrate wins too long
or it might be a while before you
celebrate again."
Many people felt the Giants
celebrated way too long heading
in the 1987 season. They dropped
their first two games the year after
winning their first Super Bowl,
and by the time their dismal strike
replacement team was replaced by
returning regulars, they were 0-5
and basically out of the playoff
picture.
There were concerns about the
Giants, starting with the coaching
change from Bill Parcells to Hand-
ley to a 2-2 preseason that ended
with a dismal 24-3 loss to the New
England Patriots.
Against the 49ers, the Giants
came up with two wrinkles that
seemed to work. One was isolat
ing Giants cornerback Mark
Collins on wide receiver Jerry
Rice.
Rice only caught a 73-yard
scoring pass from Steve Young on
a play in which safeties Greg Jack-
son and Myron Guyton blew the
coverage.
The other was a little toss
sweep to Dave Meggett on third
down with the Giants in a four
wide receiver formation.
The first one resulted in a nine-
yard gain and the second went for
eight yards. Both plays set up 35-
yard field goals by Matt Bahr, the
second one capping a game-win
ning 13-play, 60-yard drive with
five seconds to play.

Judges make
ruling in NFL
pension case
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - A
federal appeals court told NFL
team owners Tuesday to pay
more than $18 million into a play
ers' pension plan, but refused to
order improved benefits for re
tired players.
The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals upheld a U.S. District
Court order requiring the 28 NFL
clubs to pay delinquent pension
funds sought by the players.
The three-judge panel re
versed lower court findings that
some pension plan trustees had
breached their duties and that the
court should set retirement bene
fits for players.
"The clubs failed to make
their full contributions but we do
not believe the conduct of the
trustees for the owners constitut
ed a breach of their fiduciary obli
gations," wrote Judge J. Harvie
Wilkinson III. He was joined by
Judge Robert F. Chapman and
U.S. District Judge Claude Hilton
of Alexandria.
The judges also overturned
the lower court's appointment of
a special master to set pension
improvements.
