Serena Williams advances with win

By Alyson Brodsy and Howard Fendrich · Tuesday, Aug. 31,2004 1:52 a.m.

NEW YORK -- Dressed for a night on the town, Serena Williams was all business in her first match in 4 1/2 weeks. Williams strode into Arthur Ashe Stadium wearing knee-high black boots, a pleated denim miniskirt, a studded black tank top and dangling earrings. A far cry from the tennis attire of days gone by, to be sure, but then again, Williams' powerful strokes bear little resemblance to the way the women's game used to be played.

"There are few times in your life where you get to write the final chapter the way you want to," Hamm said. "I think a lot of us did that tonight."

Marion Jones qualifies in long jump

By Rob Gloster · Thursday, Aug. 26,2004 12:36 a.m.

ATHENS, Greece -- Marion Jones already had long-jumped into the Olympic final and left the stadium when Allyson Felix settled into the starting blocks. Felix narrowly missed becoming a teenage gold medalist in the 200 meters, one of the events Jones won four years ago. But Athens is not Sydney, and rising star Felix is not Jones -- who was America's sweetheart in 2000 and now is after redemption as much as medals.
