| | Rios Wins Trip to Italian Open Semifinal : End of Line for Courier |
 | | He was beaten in his Italian Open quarterfinal, 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (7-4), by No. 7 Marcelo Rios of Chile. |
 | | The younger, smaller, ponytailed Rios seemed utterly relaxed and shamelessly arrogant, from the fifth game of the opening set when he first broke Courier, to the first game of the final set, when he broke Courier again. |
 | | Each time Rios took the lead, the two-time Italian Open champion (in 1992 and 1993) was yanking it back to even. |
