Extractions: Other News TIME Asia TIME.com CNN Asia FORTUNE.com ... AOL.com By Peter Cordingley I T WAS 1988, AND a 17-year-old Japanese schoolgirl was at Wimbledon to play in the junior tournament. The record book shows she sank early on with barely a bubble, but for that timid teenager, Date Kimiko, the journey across the globe wasn't wasted. "I saw the Center Court for the first time," she recalls with awe still in her voice. "I never expected to stand there some day." She has and nearly gloriously but there will be no more Wimbledons, or any other international tournaments, for Date. Asia's top woman player has announced her retirement from tennis, bringing to an unexpected close a career that at times seemed to promise the very best, but, in the end, never quite delivered on the big occasions. But there was no sign of regret as Date explained her decision to the Tokyo press Sept. 24, just four days before her 26th birthday. "I always thought that 25 would be the age to turn a chapter in my life," she said. "Besides, I have had a lot of injuries to my knees and ankles too many to continue playing at the top level." Standing up to the big hitters has also probably taken its toll. At 1.63 m and weighing only 53 kg, Date is almost diminutive compared with some of the women pros on the tour. Monica Seles, for instance, is 1.79 m and 65 kg, and Steffi Graf 1.75 m and 59 kg. "I am not particularly powerful and I have been fighting at the limits of my mental and physical powers," the Japanese said.

Extractions: Other News TIME Asia TIME.com CNN Asia FORTUNE.com ... AOL.com "MR. YEN" HOLDS FIRM It is hard to ease any top Japanese official out of his job, so the task facing Sakakibara Eisuke's critics was positively herculean. Sakakibara, 55, is head of the international finance bureau in the virtually omnipotent Ministry of Finance. It was he who skillfully engineered the gentle weakening of the yen last year. But at a private party hosted by a U.S. diplomat some months ago, the outspoken Sakakibara described senior local politicians as "idiots." Coming amid an outcry against what the public viewed were arrogant bureaucrats, the affair led to calls for his head. The word was that he would be gone once the G-7 summit was over. That was two weeks ago, and Ministry personnel have let it be known that Sakakibara is staying put. After all, they are no idiots. COURT PRINCESS Japanese tennis ace Date Kimiko, 25, has become the first Asian woman to progress to Wimbledon's final four. Date lost the opening set of her semi-final against Steffi Graf, but outplayed the German champion in the second. The match was suspended due to failing light, breaking Date's momentum, and Graf was her usual efficient self the next day. Still, Date's performance enabled her to break into the world top ten and to carry Asian tennis on to center court with her.

In July 2003, Sugiyama and Kim Clijsters of Belgium won the women's doubles crown at Wimbledon, which was Sugiyama's first Wimbledon title. She also teamed with the Belgian to win the doubles at the French Open in June. Having won the women's doubles events in two out of the three major tournaments (Australian Open, French Open, and Wimbledon) played so far this year, all eyes will now be on the duo's performance at the US Open from August 25 to September 7. Sugiyama's victory at Wimbledon was the third ever by a Japanese competitor and the first in 28 years, following Sawamatsu Kazuko in the 1975 women's doubles competition and Miki Tatsuyoshi in the 1934 mixed doubles. Combined with consecutive last-16 performances in the singles at both Wimbledon and the French Open, Sugiyama is steadily closing in on the world's tennis elite.

Extractions: Now serving for the junior set, Date Kimiko recentry took her "Kids Tennis" classes to Vietnam IN October last year, former professional tennis player Date Kimiko brought her popular children's tennis classes overseas for the first time, visiting schoolchildren in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Date has been holding her "Come on Kids Tennis" classes in Japan since she retired from the professional circuit in 1996 after a career that saw her rise as high as fourth in the world rankings. Her goal is to acquaint as many people as possible with the sportin particular those for whom tennis would normally be inaccessible. The "Kids Tennis" class in Vietnam was a Japan-Vietnam exchange project held under the auspices of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). In Hanoi, approximately 60 local primary school kids and Japanese youngsters attended the class, and in Ho Chi Minh City about 40 Vietnamese children participated. Since 1986, when Vietnam introduced the Doi Moi policy, which aims at a transition from a planned economy system to a free economy system, the country has achieved high economic growth, and the number of people playing tennis for pleasure has been increasing. However, the tennis population still comprises mostly high-income earners. None of the Vietnamese children who took part in the class had ever gripped a tennis racket before the event and they were all very excited when given a soft ball and light racket, designed specifically for "Kids Tennis." In the class, they delightedly received basic instructions on serving and receiving from Japan's former tennis great.
