Bjorkman, Moya enter RCA final

In July, Woodforde was beaten the week after Wimbledon 6-0, 6-0 at Newport, Rhode Island, on grass. Australian open finalist Moya, the fifth seed, took advantage of Wayne Ferreira8217;s lingering fatigue to earn a 6-4, 6-2 result in 62 minutes.

Ferreira, the South African 1994 champion, did not get to bed before 1 a.m. yesterday after forcing Swede Magnus Larsson to a 12-10 tie-breaker to win their quarterfinal clash.

Due to the demands of TV, play began at an unheard-of 10 a.m. Bjorkman claimed a career-first computer ranking place in the world top 20 as a result of his 57-minute win against Woodforde.

Seles, Huber in final

TORONTO: Monica Seles dispatched Conchita Martinez in yesterday8217;s Du Maurier Open semifinal and she did it in style.

Seles, the top seed, dropped the opening game to the Spaniard and had the late-arriving crowd in doubt. But Seles broke Martinez the next game, climbing back from a 15-40 deficit, and assumed a 5-1 lead en route to a 6-2, 7-6 8-6 win.

Seles will meet Germany8217;s Anke Huber in the final. Huber advanced when Mary Joe Fernandez withdrew after the second set. Fernandes had won the opening set 6-3 but lost the second 2-6 before withdrawing.
