2 The Sioux City Journal, Thursday. January 27, 1 994 1 4 Courier regains emotional edge, moves into tourney semifinals 5 "We both had a hard time controlling the ball. It was not the best of tennis. I just hung in there," Sampras said. "It's like a sauna.
You really can't breathe. It's more of a stamina match than a tennis match sometimes." A few minutes after Sampras won, No. 9 Martin completed a 6-2, 7-6 (7-4), 7-6 (7-5) victory over American compatriot MaliVai Washington. It is the first time since 1982 when Johan Kriek, Steve Denton and Hank Pfister made the semifinals that three of the final four men in the Australian Open were Americans. Martin said the gusts on Court 1 made it seem like he was facing a knuckleball.
"The breeze made the tennis a little under par," Martin said. "It killed my serve, and that's really one of my biggest weapons. We both had a lot of trouble from the ground just keeping the ball in play." Washington, playing his first1 Grand Slam quarterfinal, double-faulted twice in the second-set tiebreaker and once more in the third-set tiebreaker. "I thought I had problems with everything today, not just my forehand my serve, my backhand and my volleys, too," Washington said. "I think the whole match was a shocker, to tell you the truth." Martin will play No.
4 Edberg, who needed just 96 minutes to defeat No. 6 Thomas Muster 6-2, 6-3, 6-4 in an evening match interrupted for 30 minutes by a rainstorm that forced officials to close the roof over center MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) Jim Courier has his Grand Slam attitude back. While advancing to the semifinals of the Australian Open, where he will face compatriot Pete Sampras, Courier has regained the emotional edge he appeared to be losing last fall. Yet another American, Todd Martin, will face Sweden's Stefan Edberg in the other semifinal on Friday. It is the first time since 1982 that three Americans are in the men's semifinals of the Australian Open.
Courier was back to his old peevish self in a news conference Wednesday after a straight-set victory over Goran Ivanisevic. He snapped at questions while impatiently drumming his fingers on a podium and playing with a microphone. Just last week, he was unusually calm while answering questions. And two months ago, he seemed to be losing interest in tennis he read a book during one changeover, and asked his coach about the NAFTA debate in Congress during a point. On he also was sharp on the court.
Courier, seeded third, overcame two set points in the opening set and then rolled to a 7-6 (9-7), 6-4, 6-2 victory over No. 5 Ivanisevic. Courier used sharp groundstrokes to repeatedly pass the Croatian at the net. While Sampras and Martin struggled in the afternoon heat and swirling winds, Courier was unfazed by the weather. "I wouldn't say that I want to play Australian Open in 100-degree weather every day, but I think if I had to do it I would be able to cope with it better than some," said Courier, a native of Florida who often practices in California.
Courier, trying to become the first man to win three straight titles here since Australia's Roy Emerson won five straight from 1963-67, got a lot of help from Ivanisevic who was only able to break Courier's serve once. Ivanisevic seemed distracted after losing the first set, which he marked by slamming his racket to the court. In the second set, he stuck the handle of the racket in his mouth after a bad shot and took a brief nap on padding at the back of the court after running in vain for a Courier lob. "The first set and a half, I didn't play with a hat and I started to see stars around my head and I felt a little bit dizzy," Ivanisevic said. "Then I put the hat on, but it was too late." The top-seeded Sampras overcame a lethargic start and 17 double faults to defeat Magnus Gustafsson of Sweden, 7-6 (7-4), 2-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7-4).
The air temperature was 100 degrees and the baking center-court surface registered 126 degrees during the Sampras-Gustafsson match. Combined with winds that reached 36 mph, it made for a less than classic meeting. if W'i 3 pvf i'fSr4 I Indiana's Alan Henderson (center) is surrounded Ernest Nzigamasabo and Chad Kolander.

Marty Clark tipped in Grant Hill's miss with three seconds left, lifting No. 2 Duke over Notre Dame 74-72 Wednesday. Monty Williams scored 34 points for Notre Dame (5-12). But the Irish, who led by 12 points late in the first half, made a turnover with 14 seconds left in the game, setting up Clark's tiebreaking tap. Hill drove toward the basket and pulled up for a 10-footer that rolled off the rim.
Clark came from the left side and through traffic for the tap to give the Blue Devils (14-1) the lead. After Clark scored, Notre Dame lost the ball when Marcus Hughes' inbounds pass sailed out of bounds. Duke's Antonio Lang missed two foul shots with two seconds left and, after the Irish called a timeout, Hughes passed to Williams, whose shot from mid-court came after the buzzer.

A pivotal call for the visitors came with 2:22 left after Anderson, a powerful 6-5 sophom*ore forward, grabbed a lob pass in the low post and powered home what would have been a tying bucket.
Anderson, though, was whistled for pushing off on the play and two free throws by Arrue made it an 80-76 BC lead rather than a 78-78 deadlock. It was Wayne State's eighth loss in 11 games since knocking off Morn-ingside 102-99 in an overtime contest Dec. 8 at Wayne.
