Ivanisevic Upset

Goran Ivanisevic was upset by Carl-Uwe Steeb 6-3, 6-4 at the German Open in Hamburg. Once ranked 14th and part of the German Davis Cup team, Steeb is 75th in the world. Ivanisevic is sixth.

Steffi Graf’s return to the Italian Open after nine years proved bumpy, with the world’s top female player struggling before ousting Alexia Dechaume-Balleret 6-3, 7-6 (8-6) in 1 hour, 20 minutes.

The $926,000 tournament is a major warmup for the French Open.
