- <p> Sure it's great fun to watch GABRIELA SABATINI and MONICA
- SELES play tennis, but for real excitement check out their
- merchandising moxie. Both make millions from lucrative
- endorsement deals, and both will use the occasion of next week's
- U.S. Open to push unlikely products. Sabatini is serving up "a
- flowery, exotic" perfume that bears her name and sells for a
- mere $50 per 1/4 oz. Nothing like a sweat-soaked sports figure
- to make you want to splash on the smelly stuff. Meanwhile, Seles
- has figured out how to cash in on the controversy surrounding
- her Wimbledon absence: she's expected to announce next week that
- she will become the new spokesmodel for No Excuses jeans,
- following in the footsteps of scandal starlets Donna Rice and
- Marla Maples. Denim, anyone?
