HEADLINES ....

Andre Agassi has some bragging rights over his wife, Steffi Graf. Agassi defeats Carlos Moya 6-3, 6-3 for his sixth career Key Biscayne title in Sunday's Nasdaq-100 Open final, surpassing Graf's record of five. 'I finally beat her at something,' Agassi says.

Serena Williams has not lost in 2003, and she has not lost to rival Jennifer Capriati in a while. Both trends continued Saturday as Serena rallied past Capriati 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 to capture the Nasdaq-100 Open title. The top-ranked Williams, now 17-0 this year, has beaten Capriati seven straight times.

Jennifer Capriati is in another final in Key Biscayne, advancing at the Nasdaq-100 with a 6-2, 6-4 victory over Chanda Rubin. Capriati, runner-up the past two years, will face unbeaten Serena Williams in Saturday's final. Also, Andre Agassi and Albert Costa advance to the men's semis

Serena Williams wants to run the table and win every singles match in 2003. So far, so good. Serena improved to 16-0 this year with a 6-4, 6-2 victory over Kim Clijsters in the Nasdaq-100 Open on Thursday. The top-ranked Williams will play the winner of the Jennifer Capriati-Chanda Rubin duel in Saturday's final.

20-year-old American Robby Ginepri. Ginepri, who beat Hyung-Taik Lee 6-3, 6-2 on Tuesday, will face former No. 1 Carlos Moya in a bid to reach his first semifinal. Defending women's champion Serena Williams beat Marion Bartoli 6-1, 6-2 to reach the semis.
 

On a sparkling Key Biscayne day when Serena Williams, Kim Clijsters, Justine Henin-Hardenne and Jennifer Capriati predictably breeze, Venus Williams is KOd. Meghann Shaughnessy stuns second-seeded Venus 7-6 (7-2), 6-1 Monday night to shake up the Nasdaq-100 quarters.

Todd Martin, 32, gives 20-year-old Andy Roddick a tennis lesson, defeating him 7-6 (7-3), 6-4 in Key Biscayne. Martin enters the tournament with only a single victory this year, having fallen out of the top 100 for the first time since 1992.

No. 3 Kim Clijsters, No. 4 Justine Henin-Hardenne and No. 7 Lindsay Davenport,Venus and Serena Williams also won.

On the men's side, American wild-card entry Robby Ginepri continued his rapid rise by beating countryman James Blake 6-3, 6-2. Ginepri, 20, reached the quarterfinals at Indian Wells earlier this month.

Even a Florida native feels the near-record heat at the Nasdaq-100 Open in Key Biscayne. Vince Spadea wins in straight sets, but others like Richard Gasquet and Meilen Tu suffer from heat-related illnesses. 'It was a hot day,' says Spadea, 'and I'm from Florida, so what I say counts.'

Tu won her match with Bethanie Mattek 6-1, 6-7 (4), 7-6 (4) in 2 hours, 53 minutes at the Nasdaq-100 Open on Thursday. Vince Spadea survived the heat to beat Christophe Rochus 6-3, 6-4, while young Frenchman Richard Gasquet retired.
