PERTH, Australia--A strained stomach muscle forced Alex Olmedo to the sidelines Thursday, leaving Barry MacKay of Dayton, Ohio, and Earl Buchholz of St. Louis to carry on America's hopes for a singles title in the West Australian Tennis Championships.
MacKay and Buchholz will meet for the right to go into the finals against Spain's Andres Gimeno, who advanced through Olmedo's default.
Olmedo, 22-year-old Peruvian who was the sensation of America's Davis Cup victory, had to quit after playing 12 games as the partner of MacKay in doubles. He said the pain was so severe he could not serve.
