NFL fans, meanwhile, will hear an address this week on last year’s events from President Bush and team pei- sonnel will wear logos com memorating the events. Following the moment ot silence at the baseball games, a videotape will be shown in memory of those who died. During afternoon games on Sept. 1 1, the moment of silence will be held during the sev enth-inning stretch, and the video will follow. “All of us in baseball were devastated by the horrific attack on our country last September 1 1, and it is with a great deal of sadness and grief That we will mark the first anniversary,” commissioner Bud Selig said Wednesday. “We take this opportunity to honor the memories of those lost and to pay tribute to the firefighters, police officers, rescue workers and all those who sacrificed their lives try ing to save others,” Selig said. Bush’s talk to NFL tans will be shown on CBS and FOX telecasts and played on stadium screens for the 10 season-open ing games Sunday that start at p.m. EDT. It will be followed by the Marine Corps Band playing “America The Beautiful.” In addition, sideline person nel from all the teams will wear a 9/11 patch on their clothing along with an American flag. Members of the New ’lork Giants and Jets will wear caps with the initials or logos of the New York fire and police departments or the New York/New Jersey Port Authority personnel.

Jennifer Capriati rarely looked happy during her U.S. Open quarterfinal against Amelie Mauresmo. She fretted about Mauresmo’s stalling, complained about the music blaring between games, and switched rackets often. In truth, Capriati's biggest foe might have been herself, and she admitted as much after Mauresmo came back to win 4- 6, 7-6 (5), 6-3 Wednesday. “It hurts. Definitely hurts. Just a lot of expectation, a lot of pressure put on myself,” Capriati said, her eyes red. “There’s a fine line, there’s a balance. That’s not gorxl either, to just want it so bad." The three-time Grand Slam tournament champion served for the match at 6-5 in the second set, but a double fault and two errors gave away the edge. Capriati also was hurt by double faults in the third set. She used the words “nervous” and “tight” to describe her play. Later, responding to a question, she added, “Well, I think ’getting tight’ is basically saying you choked.” Capriati has lost her last three matches against Mauresmo, who played Wednesday with her left thigh heavily bandaged. The lOth-seeded Frenchwoman, also a semifi nalist at Wimbledon, next faces two-time defending champion Venus Williams or Monica Seles. Defending men’s champion Lleyton Hewitt reached the final four by beating No. 20 Younes El Aynaoui of Morocco 6- 1, 7-6 (6), 4-6, 6-2. Hewitt’s biggest blip was a double fault to cede the third set to El Aynaoui, who had a decent excuse if he was a step slow: His fourth-round match finished at 2:14 a.m. Tuesday. The top-seeded Australian got help from a non-call in the first game of the last set. At break point on El Aynaoui’s serve, Hewitt rushed forward, fell as he hit the ball, and his feet kicked out, with at least one brushing the mean losing the umpire, who Aynaoui net — wnicn stv point. But the c arlier look a point fror when his foot touched the didn't penalize Hewitt. The stadium was sc rmpty that u^ ,he Mi « It hurts. Definitely hurts. Just a lot of expectation, a lot of pressure put on myself CAPRIATI encouraged fans in the upper reaches to move closer to the court, making a better backdrop for TV coverage. Hewitt’s semifinal opponent will be two-time Open champion Andre Agassi or No. 32 Max Mirnyi of Belarus, who were to meet in Wednesday’s final match. The day’s opening singles match start ed promisingly for Capriati. She broke to 5-4 when Mauresmo double faulted, then served out the first set at love, punctuating it with an ace. Not much later, three fore hand errors by Mauresmo — into the net, then wide, then long — allowed Capriati to break for a 6-5 lead in the second set. But Capriati double faulted to 15-30. hit a backhand into the net to set up break point, and sent a forehand wide to let Mauresmo back in it at 6-6. A backhand winner and volley winner by the Frenchwoman ended the tiebreaker. With Capriati trailing 5-3 in the third set and serving, she saved four match points. It was reminiscent of this year’s Australian Open, in which Capriati overcame a Grand Slam final-record four match points en route to escaping a 6-4, 4-0 hole against Martina Hingis to defend that title.
