Pout, Curse, Hurl. For the first time in years, the U.S.'s top-seeded player has some sturdy new seedlings to back him up. In the third-ranked slot, behind McKinley and Emerson, is Denny Ralston, 21, of Bakersfield, Calif. When Ralston is good, he is very, very good. When he is bad, he pouts, curses, hurls rackets and tortures himself with despair.

The Philharmonic has signed Ozawa as an assistant conductor for a month-long tour of the U.S. Before heading for the Hollywood Bowl next month, he has a guest slot to fill conducting the orchestra of The Hague. In the fall, Ozawa will be one of the first guest conductors of the Montreal Symphony at the new Place des Arts.
