Yayuk defeats Tauziat, moves into fourth round<\/p>\n
LONDON (Agencies): Indonesia's Yayuk Basuki made it to the
\nfourth round of the Wimbledon tennis championships for the fourth
\ntime in a row after putting an end to Frenchwomen Nathalie
\nTauziat's giant-killing run yesterday.<\/p>\n
Yayuk produced a superb comeback from a first set down to
\nclaim a 6-7, 6-3, 6-4 win over Tauziat, and now is trying to
\nbreak her Wimbledon jinx by making her first quarterfinal
\nappearance. Yayuk now plays big-serving Brenda Schultz-McCarthy
\nin the last 16 round.<\/p>\n
A confident Indonesian appeared comfortable on the Wimbledon
\ngrass court as she did everything right. Her stylish forehands
\nand backhand slices kept Tauziat running.<\/p>\n
Yayuk scared her fans with her shaky first serves, but
\nTauziat, who ousted fifth seed and Australian champion Mary
\nPierce in the second round, hit too many wide returns in the
\ndeciding set.<\/p>\n
Tauziat, who also lost to Yayuk in the opening round of the
\nAustralian Open last year, saved two match points before she hit
\na long return which sealed her fate.<\/p>\n
Earlier, Goran Ivanisevic, twice a finalist but determined to
\ngo one step further this year and claim the most coveted title in
\ntennis, powered his way into the fourth round at Wimbledon
\nyesterday with a straight-sets victory over Frenchman Arnaud
\nBoetsch.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old fourth-seeded Croatian once again made a
\nmockery of Wimbledon's attempts to slow down matches by using
\nless-pressurized balls by slamming down another score of aces on
\na sun-baked center-court to score a 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 victory in just
\n84 minutes.<\/p>\n
The stylish 26-year-old Boetsch, who lost his only previous
\nmatch to Ivanisevic in Stockholm in 1993, had no answer to
\nIvanisevic's power and when he charged the net he was left
\nstranded by bullet passing shots.<\/p>\n
Ivanisevic now faces another big-server in Todd Martin of the
\nUnited States who claimed a come-from-behind 6-3, 4-6, 4-6, 6-2,
\n6-4 win over fellow-American Derrick Rostagno in a thriller.<\/p>\n
