Scud downs Chang in LA

WIMBLEDON runner-up Mark Philippoussis continued his impressive start to
the hardcourt season to send Michael Chang packing from the Los Angeles
ATP tour event in straight sets today.
The fifth-seeded Philippoussis won 6-2, 6-4 to join fellow Australian
Lleyton Hewitt in the quarter-finals, where he'll face three-time French
Open champion Gustavo Kuerten.
Hewitt will take on Denmark's Kenneth Carlsen on the opposite side of the
draw.
Philippoussis needed just 30 minutes to win the first set then jumped out
to a 3-1 lead in the second before the 16-year tour veteran Chang fought
back to tie it at 3-3.
"I was a little frustrated at 3-3 but I wasn't too worried because I knew
I was still up by a set," Philippoussis said.
"I felt confident on his service games. I knew I could always find a way
to return his serve."
Meanwhile, world No.1 Andre Agassi has announced he will not compete at
the Athens Olympics next year. He also admitted he had no idea whether
the baby his pregnant wife Steffi Graf is carrying will be a boy or a girl.
