FRIDAY, 11.00AM:
AMANDA COETZER is still on a roll at the Women’s Tennis Association Strasbourg Open. She beat Naoko Kijimuta of Japan 6-2, 6-3 in the quarterfinals on Thursday, and will come up against top seed Steffi Graf in the next match.
Coetzer demolished Graf at the German Open last week 6-0, 6-1 and has high hopes of doing it again. Graf beat Sandrine Testud in three sets after a struggle on Thursday, 3-6, 6-2, 6-1. “I was too nervous at the start yesterday but then I settled down and I found my game. But I had to work hard to win,” Graf said.
