		Monday, September 14, 1998; Page C1 NEW YORK, Sept. 13 – Patrick Rafter knew he would have to play well at the U.S. Open if he hoped to win his second straight men's title with a triumph over fellow Australian Mark Philippoussis in the final this afternoon.
		Despite dropping a set, Rafter's performance was otherworldly: He had no unforced errors in the third set, had 39 winners to go with five unforced errors overall, and he won the match's final 10 games.
		In addition to Sampras, the top seed here, Rafter beat No. 14 Goran Ivanisevic in the fourth round and No. 12 Jonas Bjorkman in the quarterfinals to reach the final in what was by far the tougher of the two men's brackets.

		British bookmakers are taking no chances with Patrick Rafter, installing him among the early favourites to win Wimbledon this year - despite the Australian's likely absence from tennis' most prestigious event.
		As yet there has been nothing to suggest Rafter will emerge from his six-month sabbatical in time for Wimbledon 2002, where he would be seeded because he is still well inside the world top 20.
		Coral-Eurobet and Ladbrokes have great respect for Rafter's compatriot Mark Philippoussis, having the Scud at 20/1 and 16/1, respectively, despite his ranking slipping to 144 in the world after a series of injuries.
