In the men's draw, Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic began with a straight-set victory over Hugo Armando, one year after one of his most demoralizing losses. Ivanisevic, who won his first Grand Slam as a wild card in a five-set match against Patrick Rafter, had an easier start at the Opea defeating Armando 6-4, 6-4, 6-3.

A year to the day after he flamed out in the first round of the Open and wondered about his tennis future, the 15th-seeded Ivanisevic flourished. There were 22 aces on a serve that averaged 118 mph. He was occasionally inconsistent, committing 27 unforced errors and nine double faults. Minutes after Ivanisevic finished his match, top-seeded Gustavo Kuerten also reversed a first-round loss a year ago, advancing with a 6-4, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 victory over Daniel Vacek. Kuerten, ranked No.

1 in the world after winning his third French Open in the last five years, used a serve that topped out at 123 mph for 18 aces. Kuerten converted just three of 14 break-point opportunities, and 33 unforced errors complicated the task. On a near-perfect day for tennis clear and mild the only precipitation came from Czech Michal Tabara, who admitted he spit at American Justin Gimelstob approaching the net to shake hands after their match. Gimelstob, who won in five sets, annoyed Tabara with his demonstrative manner and injury timeouts. "I think he wasn't fit," Tabara complained.

"He take injury time because he cannot breathe and cannot move." Gimelstob said he didn't see Tabara spit, probably because he was looking in another direction as he celebrated the win AssocM Press NEW YORK Lindsay Davenport and Serena Williams powered into the third round of the US. Open, using booming serves and returns to advance in routs yesterday. Davenport, who began her Grand Slam career here in 1991 at age 15 and captured the championship in 1998, beat Emilie Loit 6-0, 6- 2.Williams, the 1999 champion, defeated Denisa Chladkova 6-1, 6-L Both former champions needed just 18 minutes to win their first sets and establish the trend of the match. Davenport finished in 42 minutes and Williams in 44. "So far, so good," Davenport said.

The lOth-seeded Williams experienced none of the trouble she had in the first round, when she dropped the first set against Anca Barna She boomed serves as high as 117 mph and zipped seven aces in the easy victory. "It was a lot better than my first-round match," Williams said. She believes that, even with her low seeding, she is a threat to win another title. 'Tm actually a better player now," she said. "I have a better game and as much desire, if not more." Williams says she intends to play more matches and more tournaments, part of a plan to turn her game up a notch or two.

'Tm definitely going to play more next year," she said. "Maybe more in the earlier part of the year to make sure I can do well at the Australian Open," she said. Also advancing yesterday were Wimbledon finalist Justine Henin, No. 6, who came from behind to defeat Patty Schnyder 6-7, 6-1, 64; and No. 17 Carlos Moya, with a 6-3, 7- 6 (3), 6-3 victory over wild-card JJSmiMKmTf 11...
