Top-ranked Navratilova loses
United Press International
OAKLAND, Calif. — Hana
Mandlikova fashioned her court
speed and a seldom-used lob
shot into a stunning 7-6 (8-6),
3-6, 6-4, upset of Martina Nav
ratilova — the world’s top-
ranked woman — to take the
crown Sunday in the finals of a
$150,000 women’s tennis tour-
“Before the match, I knew I
could beat her,” said Mandliko
va, the tourney’s eighth-seeded
player.
“She had something to lose,
not me. It’s very difficult to play
in this kind of pressure.”
The showdown between the
two players received publicity as
a heated battle between
Czechoslovakia’s current top-
ranked women’s player and
Navratilova, that nation’s best
player until she defected to the
United States over five years

NEW YORK — It’s not so
much his tennis game that John
McEnroe needs to work on, only
his image.
Lucky the man who stands at
the very top of his profession,
and McEnroe would feel so
much happier if fans would
accept him as a person as well as
a player.
WATER DAMAGE?
COME SEE US
As he has done in the past,
McEnroe is promising to work
hard on his image. Soon to turn
25, he feels he has matured and
he also wants to leave a favorable
impression on tennis historians.
Still, he isn’t about to let him
self go too far.
“It’s important for me to
show emotion,” he explained. “I
can’t leave it inside me. I’m just
trying to channel it in the correct
direction.”
At least for one day, the good
boy image paid sharp dividends.
McEnroe displayed only an
occasional flare of temper Sun
day when he played in the final
of the $400,000 Masters Cham
pionship. There was no cussing
at officials, no protests of out
raged innocence and no conduct
warnings.
Even when some in the crowd
of 18,253 at Madison Square
Garden tried to entice him,
McEnroe kept his manners.
What kind of stuff?
