Australian Open champion Boris Becker failed to solve the swirling winds and was upset by Spain’s Carlos Costa 6-3, 7-5 in a second-round match of the $2.2 million Newsweek Champions Cup.

Becker’s fellow German, Steffi Graf, had no such problem in earning a berth in the semifinals of the $550,000 Evert Cup by beating Amanda Coetzer of South Africa 6-4, 6-1.
