TENNIS - MARTINEZ GETS AGGRESSIVE AT U.S. OPEN .  Larry Fine  NEW YORK 1996-08-28  Conchita Martinez decided that when in New York , do as the New Yorkers do -- and the Spaniard 's new-found aggressiveness seems to have put her in the right frame of mind for the U.S. Open .  The fourth-seeded Spaniard , who is tackling the world class traffic of New York City as a warm-up by driving to the tennis centre for her matches , ran over France 's Nathalie Tauziat 6-1 6-3 on Wednesday to take her place in the third round .  " I 've been trying my whole career to be aggressive , " said the 24-year-old Martinez after crushing Tauziat in just over an hour .  " What I 'm trying to do is be aggressive all the time , maybe go up to the net a few times like I did tonight .  That would really help . " [START_ENT] Martinez [END_ENT] , the 1994 Wimbledon champion , used to struggle at the Open , but has come to terms with the noise , crowds and chaos .  " There is a lot of things that can happen , " Martinez said about her early difficulties adjusting to tennis on the cement at Flushing Meadows .  " Like traffic .  We stay in Manhattan and it 's a long way to come .  The crowds , they speak louder or they move .  That does n't happen in other Grand Slams .  That 's where the real champion wins .  You have to concentrate for these two weeks . "  It took Martinez four Opens to get as far as the quarters , and another four to match that .  Last year , Martinez , who finished 1995 ranked second in the world , reached the semifinals before bowing out to Monica Seles .  Now she feels she is in the swing of things .  " I have my own car now and that helps , " said Martinez .  " Sometimes the transportation they ( the tournament ) provide gets a little messed up .  This time it did n't happen .  I do the driving and I love it .  It gets my adrenalin going , those taxi drivers .  " We change lanes all the time in Barcelona .  I 'm used to it and I like to drive fast . "
