TENNIS CHAMPION:

Indonesia's unseeded Andrian Raturandang won the third series
of the Satelindo Indonesia Satellite Circuit after beating second
seeded Alexei Gavrilov of Russia in yesterday's final 0-6, 6-3,
6-4 at the Senayan tennis complex.

Andrian (above) who is being groomed for the 19th SEA Games
here next month, bagged US$812.5. He was the only Indonesian to
cruise to the semifinals and beat top seeded Jurek Stasiak of
Australia to reach the final berth.

But Andrian, who partnered with Suwandi, failed to win the
men's doubles title after losing to Nicholas Yeates/Paul Hanley
of Australia 6-3, 7-6 (7-0).

With his victory in the third series, Andrian has a greater
chance to join the national squad for the Games despite his bad
performances in the two previous series. (yan)
