were riveting On this day persistence topped power though By the draining end the fifth-seeded Hewitt had survived by scampering around the court to retrieve each bomb during his second-round match Somehow with the court as his foxhole he outlasted Dent's 21 aces and won 1-6 7-5 6-3 6-7 (2) 6-3 On his fourth match point Hewitt watched as Dent ranked 143rd in the world finally ended it by swiping a backhand return into the net A relieved Hewitt fell like timber onto the grass Flat on his back Hewitt could thank the gray clouds above for cooling off Dent during a one-hour rain delay early in the second set 'A lot of people start to think if you have a big serve you're just about home" said Hewitt who stands about 4 Wimbledon a week later? The International Tennis Federation is seriously considering a major change to the calendar to put Wimbledon back a week and allow more time for players to adjust from clay to grass Representatives from both the men's and women's tours and the players organization are in favor and so far the TV networks see no problems 1 Why something is finally being done now remains unclear But Bill Babcock ITF executive director and Grand Slam administrator applauded the fact that everyone con! cerned now seemed happy to help each other out even though there it unlikely to change before 2004 Babcock said the change would involve "rescheduling the entire tennis calendar" A three-week gap between the end of the French Open and the start of Wimbledon might settle some of the differ' ences clay-court stars have with adjusting to a grass surface Not routine for Agassi Men's No 2 seed Andre Agassi who defeated Briton Jamie Delgado 6-2 6-4 6-3 Thursday said his victory wasn't as routine as it looked "I have an incredible ability to stress myself out against anybody" the 1992 champion said "I'm not comfortable until I'm home watching the rest of the day's tennis" A touch of grass The Lawn Tennis Museum shop at the All England Club is seeking to boost revenue this year by selling stationery containing grass clippings taken from the lawnmowers that manicure the 14000-capacity arena "Sure 20 pounds $28 is a lot for some grass and paper" said Heather Samson a graphic artist from New York who bought a writing set of 25 sheets and 10 envelopes watermarked with the Wimbledon logo "But this is a piece of English heritage" True Brit Britain has a new tennis hero In a country that hasn't produced a men's champion at Wimbledon since Fred Perry in 1936 that's saying plenty Every British paper was filled with stories on Barry Cowan the unknown Englishman who pushed seven-time champion Pete Sampras to the brink in the second round before the American prevailed 6-3 6-2 6-7 (5) 4-6 6-3 Wednesday The Daily Telegraph summed up the match by writing that Cowan has won zero tournaments to Sampras' 63 'Glorious failures are celebrated far too often in British sport But this one really was" the newspaper said No drinks mate As he contemplates retirement at the end of this season Australian Pat Rafter is approaching this Wimbledon a bit differently than others "When you first come here especially for me I was never really a contender" Rafter said after his second-round victory Thursday over Slava Dosedel "I'd always enjoy myself in London always go to pubs Wouldn't you?" "Now it's not like that anymore It's strictly business It's wiry professional" NOT inches shorter than Dent "I draw confidence from guys like Michael Chang a few years ago and now Andre Agassi He's won Grand Slams on all surfaces That's the kind of guy I look to" Agassi made good on Hewitt's compliment Along with Venus Williams and Lindsay Davenport in the women's draw and Patrick Rafter and Yevgeny Kafelnikov on the men's side Agassi joined Hewitt to advance to Wimbledon's third round Until his minibreakout performance Thursday most of Dent's identity has been linked to his father Although he grew up in America he is the son of Australian tennis star Phil Dent He never learned to play it safe "It's not my style" said Dent whose serve is the fastest ever recorded at Wimbledon I just don't play well that way I actually play less consistently doing that You know I just recently got into the mode of being aggressive again So it's really been good" From Wire Reports TMS From Page 1D based asphalt surface This marks the second complete repaving at TMS the first coming after the Winston Cup race in April 1998 when Bill France Jr then NASCAR president and now its chairman told TMS management that a number of drivers had complained about the surface France gave TMS a deadline of June 1998 before the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series to repair damage caused by water seepage experienced during Winston Cup week In June 2000 several Indy Racing League drivers complained of a bump between turns 3 and 4 where the track had settled in the racing groove Earlier in the year a major patch was placed between turns 1 and 2 most of it outside the preferred racing line After a test in December by Kenny Brack a driver on the Championship Auto Racing Teams circuit TMS management had the areas between turns 1 and 2 and turns 3 and 4 scraped to make them smoother for the low-sitting open-wheel cars To alleviate the problem with the ground over the tunnels settling TMS is constructing the reinforced bridges as a long-term solution However Gossage expects repaving costs $300000 to $400000 to be a standard part of business at TMS which opened in 1997 The track surface tends to bleach out in areas because of heavy exposure to the summer sun and heat "We've come to realize that it's going to be normal maintenance to this racetrack to repave it every two three or four years" Gossage said Jim Stufflebeam director of development at Tms concocted the exact recipe for the granite-based asphalt compound though using granite in roads is nothing new Granite roadways were common in Texas in the 1960s and "70s Stufflebeam said Once local supplies of the rock ran out it became cheaper to use limestone than to truck granite in from Oklahoma But for a top-caliber speedway Stufflebeam said the extra quality is worth the extra cash "If you want to have a good surface" Stufflebeam said "you have to go that little extra step" The granite-based asphalt will lessen the chance of weather delays With the help of special jet-drying trucks a granite track should dry within 45 minutes Limestone on the other hand is porous and absorbs water so a rain shower means a potential two-hour delay Stufflebeam's mixture got its first test run last fall on TMS' new road courv which was finished just bef6re the StauTelegramSHARoN STEINMAN The resurfacing of the track at
