NEWYORK (AP) — Exhausted to
the point of sickness, barely able to
move, and forced to lean on his
racket like a crutch between rallies,
Pete Sampras survived an epic
ordeal Thursday against indefatiga
ble Alex Corretja.
Sampras vomited on court in
the middle of the lifth-set
tiebreaker and looked as if he
would pass out. Yet somehow he
summoned the strength to keep
going, set up a second match-
point with his 25th ace. Then he
watched in utter relief as the
Spaniard double-faulted to end
one of the most dramatic matches
in U.S. Open history, 7-6 (7-5), 5-
7, 5-7, 6-4, 7-6 (9-7).
Corretja fell to his knees and
Sampras slumped onto the net
before they embraced each other
tenderly amid a long standing
ovation for both players after the
4-hour, 8-minute struggle.
Sampras, the defending cham
pion, went for an intravenous drip
to treat dehydration. He’ll have to
find a way to recover by Saturday
when he plays in the semifinals
against the winner of the Stefan
Edberg-Goran Ivanisevic match.
Moments after the match,
Sampras hugged his girlfriend,
Delaina Mulcahy.
“This one was for Tim,Tn
there with me,” he whispe
her, referring to his latei
Tim Gullikson, who died in
Mulcahy said: “I feel
that Tim will be with ustt

Nashville, Tenn., tonight.
“Vanderbilt is a game we can
not take lightly, but we are also

Alabama," junior forward Bryn
Blalack said. “We struggled with
them last year, but we should have
the experience and drive to bring
back a win.”
As of yet, the Lady Crimson

take them lightly.
