Pete Sampras slogged through a slow-motion, first-round victory Monday as the U.S. Open got off to a sleepy start.

As leaden as Sampras looked, he served well enough to overcome Martin Damm, 7-6 (3), 7-5, 6-4. It was that kind of day in Flushing, when heavy, muggy weather took a toll on players and fans alike.
Torpid performances infected many of the matches, including Yevgeny Kafelnikov's comeback against Orlin Stanoytchev. The women's No. 1, Martina Hingis, looked no less listless in beating Alina Jidkova 6-3, 6-1.
