The second-seeded Federer reeled off seven consecutive games to close in 1 hour, 29 minutes and extend Bogomolov's record in Grand Slam tournaments to 0-5.

Federer will meet another American qualifier in the second round after Jeff Morrison beat Dennis van Scheppingen 6-4, Venus Williams, a four-time Grand Slam winner returning to a major for the first time since losing the Wimbledon final to her sister Serena last year, faced American teenager Ashley Harkleroad in the later match on center court. Spaniard Felix Mantilla, seeded 23rd, joined the seven other seeded men's players out first round when he lost (3) to Frenchman Thierry Ascione. Greg Rusqdski lost 6-4, 6-3, 64 to 26th-seeded Albert Costa in likely his last match before he faces an ATP doping hearing at Montreal on Feb. 9. Rusedski admitted two weeks ago he'd tested positive for nandrolone last July, but claims the banned steroid was contained in supplements dispensed by ATP trainers.

He said the drug issue that has overshadowed his season hadn't interfered with his tennis and now he wanted to focus on getting his case prepared. Also advancing in straight Mariners reliever to stay in Japan, will forfeit $9.5 million By RONALD BLUM 77if' Asmciatetl VivfS NEW YORK Chicago Cubs first baseman Derrek Lee agreed to a $6.9 million, one- year contract Monday as 10 players settled with their teams a ROUNDUP day before the annual exchange of salary arbitration figures. In other baseball news, Mariners closer Kazuhiro Sasaki told the team Monday he will not pitch for Seattle in 2004, deciding to forfeit the final year of his contract and remain with his family in Japan. Seattle's career saves leader, who turns 36 on Feb. 22, would walk away from up to $9.5 million.

"It's a personal situation," agent Tony Attanasio said. "He wanted to stay home with his kids. Last year, he did not have his kids with him and his wife. He had to have that, and he left a lot of money on the table." Attanasio said Sasaki may pitch in Japan next season but "he will not pitch again in the United States." As for the 65 players who filed for arbitration last Thursday, 16 already have agreed to contracts, and several more deals are likely to be finalized before the commissioner's office and the players' association swap figures Tuesday afternoon. After 72 players filed for arbitration last year, just 34 exchanged figures and only seven had hearings, with owners winning five.

Among the top players left in arbitration this year are Cy Young Award winners Eric Gagne of Los Angeles and Roy SASAKI Halladay of Toronto, former NL Rookie of the Year Albert Pujols of St. Louis, Philadelphia pitcher Kevin Millwood and New York Yankees second baseman Alfonso Soriano. Lee hit .271 with 31 homers, 92 RBIs and 21 steals last season to help the Florida Marlins win the World Series title. Lee, who made $4.25 million in 2003, was traded to the Cubs in November for first baseman Hee Seop Choi and minor league pitcher Michael Nannini. Chicago hopes to work out multiycar contracts for Lee and pitcher Kerry Wood, who agreed Friday to a $9.75 million, one-year contract.

Los Angeles third baseman Adrian Beltre agreed to a $5 million deal Monday, up from $3.7 million last season. Beltre, who turns 25 in April, hit .240 with a career-high 23 homers and (10 RBIs last season. San Francisco pitcher Jim Brower got Monday's only tiycar contract, a two-year deal worth $1,825,000. The Giants also agreed to an $850,000, one- year contract with utilityman Pedro Feliz. Montreal agreed to one-year contracts with right-handers Tomo Ohka ($2,337,500) and Tony Armas Jr.

($2.1 million). Pittsburgh Pirates der Kip Wells agreed to $2,575,000, a raise of $2.2 million, after going 10-9 with a 3.28 ERA in a team-high 31 starts. Milwaukee closer Dan Kolb got $1.5 million. He joined the Brewers on June 17 and became the club's closer after Mike DeJean was traded to St. Louis.

Kolb went 1-2 with 21 saves and a 1.96 ERA, converting his first 19 save chances. Briefly sets were 14th-seeded Jiri Novak, a semifinalist here two years ago, Australian wildcard entry Todd Reid and Swedish teenager Joachim Johansson. In the women's draw, 12th- seeded Paulo Suarez, winner at a warmup event in Canberra last week, beat fellow Argentine Gisela Dulko 6-2, 6-2 and Marion Bartoli of France had a 6-3, 6-1 win over Ameri. can Alexandra Stevenson, who reached the 1999 Wimbledon semifinals as a qualifier but hasn't been beyond the second round at 18 Grand Slam tournaments since.
