WIMBLEDON, England -- Pete Sampras turned his Wimbledon final against Goren Ivanisevic into a rout and the pair left organizers with a massive headache -- how to make tennis sparkle again.After the two had bombarded one another with a total of 42 aces in the American's 7-6, 7-6, 6-0 procession to his second successive title Sunday, the excellence of Sampras was exceeded for many by the tedium of the contest.Except for purists who reveled in the all-round superiority and athleticism of the champion, many felt the contest contained too much wallop to be of interest for very long.A serve-and-volley battle was expected and that is just what it was, as Ivanisevic delivered 25 aces and Sampras 17. But with few rallies exceeding four strokes, the wide-ranging appeal of the game was lost.It bore no comparison with Saturday's women's final, though no men's final could have competed with the emotion surrounding Martina Navratilova's last Center Court appearance.There appears to be no easy solution and Sampras had no answer. "With two big serve-and-volley players, you're not going to see long rallies. But for the public, when it comes down to a tie-breaker like it did twice today, that's exciting," he said.Ivanisevic had no solution either, while his manager, Ion Tiriac of Romania, sees the problem increasing rather than going away."It is a reality and it can only get worse," Tiriac said. "For the masses, the sport is being ruined. For me, as a specialist, no."But players like Manuel Santana, there is nobody like that any more. The Santanas, the (Ilie) Nastases, the (John) McEnroes cannot survive any more."Boris Becker, the three-time champion who was Ivanisevic's semifinal opponent, agreed with Tiriac. "It's definitely going to get faster and stronger, not necessarily better," he said after his defeat.The International Tennis Federation has virtually ruled out various radical moves such as eliminating the second serve. Those they are considering are aimed more at speeding up play, rather than improving the quality.For much of Sunday's match, there was quality from both players, albeit of the slam-bam variety.There was little to choose through the opening set until Sampras broke the Ivanisevic serve twice in the tie-break and won it 7-2.The second set provided more of the same fare, with Sampras winning the tie-break 7-5.That effectively ended the Croat's resistance and the final set was little more than a Sunday stroll in the sunshine for Sampras. Ivanisevic won just seven points.Afterwards both players looked at possible improvements to their game for the future."I've got that burning desire to keep on getting better. That's one of the ingredients you need to be champion," Sampras said.Ivanisevic admitted he was outclassed, unlike the 1992 final in which he lost to Andre Agassi in five sets when he felt he should have won.This defeat did not hurt as much but he was asked about coming back with two finals losses in his curriculum vitae. "I have to look at how well I played these two weeks and just maybe improve on that," he said. "I lose two Wimbledon finals and that can hurt your tennis, but if I can learn and go forward, if I can learn to just work and be concentrated and keep my mind like this, I think I can improve and become better."
