Upset-minded Hingis to face
Graf in U.S. Open semifinals-
NEW YORK (AP) — Like the
rabbit in Alice in Wonderland,
Martina Hingis knew she had to
hurry. So late, so late, for a very
important date.
The rabbit’s refrain might well
have been Hingis’ lament. She
had a mixed doubles semifinal
match over on Court 16, and here
she was still in the stadium play
ing singles against Jana Novotna
in the U.S. Open quarterfinals.
What to do?
Shorten the points, of course.
Hingis did just that, rushing the
net the way another Martina once
did and dancing into the semifi
nals at age 15 on Wednesday.
Next up is that other Martina’s
old nemesis, Steffi Graf.
Hingis, named after Navratilova
and guided toward a tennis career
since birth, beat the No. 7 Novotna
7-6 (7-1), 6-4 to become the
youngest Open semifinalist since
Jennifer Capriati in 1991.
In the men’s quarterfinals,
Andre Agassi and Michael Chang
won to set up a meeting in
Saturday’s semifinals.
Agassi, No. 6, beat No. 3 seed
Thomas Muster 6-2, 7-5, 4-6, 6-2
Wednesday night to move within
a victory of his third straight
Open final. Agassi won the title
two years ago, then lost in the
final last year to Pete Sampras.
Chang, No. 2, beat unseeded
Javier Sanchez 7-5, 6-3, 6-7 (7-2),
6-3 in a nearly three-hour base
line duel Wednesday and reached
the Open semis for the first time
since 1992. The 1989 French
Open champion at 17, Chang is
still seeking his second Grand
Slam title.
The top-seeded Sampras plays
Alex Corretja on Thursday, and
No. 4 Goran Ivanisevic goes
against two-time champion
Stefan Edberg for the other semi
final spots.
Two days after knocking out
No. 3 Arantxa
Sanchez Vicario,
Hingis put on an
even more spec
tacular show of
versatile tennis
by taking apart
Novotna from
the baseline and
the net.

Hingis, who became the

when she won women’s doubles
with Helena Sukova this summer,
was still going at the Open for
three titles — singles, doubles and
mixed doubles.
Why was Hingis playing so

Although IQeinecke stresses to his players the
importance of hard work, junior Monica Rebolledo
said he does not overdo it. The A&M coach is satis
fied with their performances as long as they have
contributed a 100 percent effort.
“We don’t feel a lot of pressure,” Rebolledo said. “He
is always willing to help and give us extra practice.”
Coach Kleinecke said maintaining team unity is
the key to a successful season in 1996-1997.
