BRIEFLY : AMERICAN SELES SET FOR ATLANTA.

In a fitting Olympic tuneup, Monica Seles helped her adopted country sweep Japan in the Fed Cup semifinals.

``I can't wait to be in Atlanta. I can't wait until the opening ceremonies. It will be hot there, so that is my only worry,'' said Seles, who routed Kimiko Date 6-0, 6-2 on Sunday in Nagoya, Japan.

Seles, a Yugoslav native who became a U.S. citizen in 1994, led the United States into the Sept. 28-29 final against three-time defending champion Spain at a U.S. site to be determined. Spain beat France 3-2.

``Today, I felt really good out there, and I felt comfortable and eager more than I did even at Wimbledon,'' said Seles.

As a 12-time Grand Slam doubles champion, it was only fitting that Rosie Casals entered the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, R.I., with a former partner at her side.

Martina Navratilova, who teamed with Casals to win three doubles titles in the late 1980s, presented the women's tennis pioneer with her induction certificate in a ceremony on center court at the Newport Casino.

Casals, 47, was inducted with the late Dan Maskell, a British champion who became known as ``The Voice of Wimbledon'' during a 40-year broadcast career with the British Broadcasting Co.

Gene Malin of Woodland Hills won the USTA men's 45 hardcourt singles division at Westlake Tennis & Swim Club, defeating Wesley Jackson of Albuquerque, N.M., 6-2, 4-6, 6-3.

Alberto Costa, wondering if he had the stamina for a long match, won his first title of the year by defeating Spanish compatriot Felix Mantilla 4-6, 7-6 (7-2), 6-1, 6-0 to win the $560,000 Swiss Open in Gstaad.

Magnus Gustafsson whipped Andrei Medvedev of Ukraine 6-1, 6-3 in Bastad to win the Swedish Open title for the third time.

FOOTBALL Linebacker Marvin Jones, 24, of the New York Jets has been arrested on a series of charges that include drunk driving and assault on a police officer. Jones' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, confirmed the arrest. He said Jones had been charged with reckless driving, driving with a suspended license, disorderly intoxication and assault on an officer.

Jones, who played at Florida State, was freed on bond after his arrest in Miami early Saturday.

About the time Michael Irvin's teammates hit the steamy fields of St. Edward's University for training camp Wednesday, the Dallas Cowboys' star receiver will be sitting in court in Dallas for the fourth week of his felony drug-possession trial. Today, he'll likely watch his lawyers try to damage the credibility of Rachelle Smith, a topless dancer who is the prosecution's star witness.

CYCLING Uzbekistan's Djamolidin Abdoujaparov won the 123-mile 14th stage of the Tour de France, and Denmark's Bjarne Riis retained the overall lead after the leg that ended in Tulle, France.

Abdoujaparov broke away early in the Tour's hottest day since the 21-stage race started in rain in the Netherlands on June 29.

Basque radicals threatened to put cyclists and fans of the Tour de France at risk when the race goes through Basque areas of Spain this week.

``We are not willing to allow the race through Basque territory unless there are substantial changes in the stages,'' said an anonymous communique published in Egin, a pro-independence daily in Spain's northern Basque region.
