Answer Man: Last basketball season, the cost of our two Orlando Magic season tickets, located on the next-to-last row in the upper bowl, ate up all but $12.40 from my weekly take-home pay as assistant manager of a Chevron station. Now the Magic have raised ticket prices again and I will be down to just $4.35 a week to feed and clothe my family. My question is this: If we budget very closely1, is there anything my wife can do to be sure our four children are being properly fed on $4.35 a week? Homer G. Homer.

Box 9009 vim.n"tt V.mnH- Pete Sampras became the only American left when Mary Joe Fernandez and Richey Reneberg lost By Filip Bondy NEW YORK DAILY NEWS WIMBLEDON, England They threw the final three Yanks on the new Court 1 Tuesday, all in a row, and soon there was only one of them left to kick around in either singles draw. His name, not surprisingly, was Pete Sampras, whose match against Petr Korda of the Czech Republic was suspended by darkness, Sampras up a set and a break, 6-4, 4-2. Without him, the United States would be unrepresented at Wimbledon, men or women, a notion that should send out an emphatic SOS to tennis organizers in every comer of the globe. First Richey Reneberg went out to crowd pet Greg Rusedski of Britain, 7-6 (7-2), 6-4, 7-4 (7-4). Then Mary Joe Fernandez fell to Jana Novotna of the Czech Republic, in a three-set match that was a coin flip until the end.

Only Sampras can rescue the red, white and bruised now, if he heads for a quarterfinal showdown against Boris Becker, a 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (7-5) winner over ninth-seeded Marcelo Rios of Chile. Ahh, the trouble with American tennis in the age of Tiger Woods. There has been much discussion about that here, on the heels of another desultory showing on the French clay. Injuries to Andre Agassi, MaliVai Washington and Todd Martin culled the herd. But there were fewer excuses for Monica Seles, Lindsay Davenport, Chanda Rubin, Venus Williams, Jim Courier and Michael Chang.

"Usually, everyone is kind of around the second week of the majors," Sampras said "Jim's game doesn't quite match up with grass. I don't know what's going on with Michael. "But at this point, I'm going to worry about what I'm trying to do," Sampras, said. "It's a little bit strange, but that's where I'm at" Reneberg was out on the court first, then out of Wimbledon.
