According lO Demapan, the 60cent increase in a span of just lendays may have been an oversighton the partof the Houseof Repre­sentativeswhentheyamendedthebill in its entirety.

"This is what happens whenthings are done with haste. In­stead of coming up with some­thing that is widely accepted. wegel something faulty and it is re­ally unfair," said Demapan.

The billthatbecamePublicLaw8-21, Senate Bill 8-146 wasauthored by Senator David M.Cing. The provisions in the origi­nal Cing Bill was totally alteredby the House when it passed.

Korda had to save five matchpoints against Sampras, andwasted two against Stich beforeprevailing.

There was doubt about his fit­ness Sunday because he wascramping at theendof thesemifi­nal against Sampras and had asore arm.

"I was playing tennis all nightinmymind,1wasdreamingofmymatch against Sampras,' Kordasaid. "I woke up optimistic be­causeI felt fitter than expected.1wasn't feeling great, but not thatbad either."

Stich also needed five sets tobeat Stefan Edberg, and theGerman's staminawas thefirst tocollapsein the final.

"Mylegsjust gaveup,"he said.He had a tough month behind

. him. Stichbecame the ATP Tourworld champion last month inFrankfurt, then led Germany toits Davis Cup victory over Aus­tralialastweekendinDuesseldorf.

"I hadmorerightto be tired. Hehad a toughmatch yesterday, butthat happens in every tourna­ment,"Stichsaid."I didn't expectanything but a toughmatch."

"He wasjust hanging in there,he wasmakingthebig pointsand1 wasn't breaking, that's why Ilost."
