	ESPN.com - TENNIS/USOPEN99 - Agassi fights off Martin to claim Open title (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		No shot was better, or more crucial, than his lunging return from off the court that broke Martin's serve and spirit early in the fifth set and paved the way to a 6-4, 6-7 (5-7), 6-7 (2-7), 6-3, 6-2 victory.
		No man had fought back to win the U.S. Open from a 2-1 deficit in sets since John Newcombe in 1973, but that's exactly what Agassi had to do in a 3-hour, 23-minute match against an inspired Martin playing some of the finest tennis of his life.
		The match was only the fifth all-American men's final at the U.S Open in the 32 years of the open era, and the matchup of two 29-year-olds was the oldest since 39-year-old Ken Rosewall lost to 22-year-old Jimmy Connors in 1974.

		Although Faldo would continue to win regularly in Europe, and even won the 1984 Heritage Classic in America, he decided in 1985 to completely overhaul his swing, working with David Leadbetter for two years before he saw the desired results - a swing that would hold up to major championship pressure.
		With a final round that was a clinic in control, Faldo translated 18 straight pars into his first major championship win, edging Paul Azinger at the 1987 British Open at Muirfield.
		Throughout his career Faldo has focused on the majors, and his record in the four big tournaments is excellent, with three wins apiece at the Masters and British Open, seconds at both the U.S. Open and PGA Championships, and 23 career top 10s.

		Seles gave away too many free points: She had 36 unforced errors (15 more than Venus) and double faulted in each of the last three games in which her serve was broken.

	ESPN.com: TENNIS - Capriati ready to continue fairytale comeback
		The American fourth seed is seeking to become the first player in nine years to follow up a victory at the Australian Open by winning at Roland Garros.
		It was at the 1990 French Open at age 14 that Capriati marked herself as a player of outstanding promise, reaching the semifinals before losing to Monica Seles, the last woman to win the Australian and French titles in the same year.
		That potential looked to have been wasted when her failure to cope with the pressures of success and the effects of burn-out prompted a downward spiral that brought her to face minor drugs and shoplifting charges in the mid-1990s.

		It was here at Roland Garros that Capriati became such a star, blasting into the semifinals of the 1990 French Open just two months after her 14th birthday.
