Capriati falls to Mauresmo in open
New
ND
NEW YORK (AP) — Even when lead
ing. 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

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.
A Capriati comeback wasn't in the off-
that,”
