French Open quarter-finals set
United Press International
PARIS — Jimmy Connors sleep
walked through the start of his
match Monday against Emilio San
chez before rousing himself for a
straight-set victory to advance to the
quarterfinals of the $1 million
French Open tennis championships.
After finding his touch late in the
first set, the No. 3 seed had no prob
lem with the 19-year-old Spaniard
and posted a 6-4, 6-1,6-1 decision —
just before rain caused a delay of 3
hours, 20 minutes.
Only three of the scheduled seven
singles matches were completed be
cause of the rain.
The downpour arrived when No.
2 Ivan Lendl was two sets up and 3-3
in the third against Anders Jarryd of
Sweden. Lendl showed no signs of
rustiness when he resumed, elimi
nating the No. 1 1 seed 6-4, 6-0, 6-4.
No. 7 Andrez Gomez of Ecuador
slopped Jan Gunnarsson of Sweden
6-3, 6-1, 6-3 to earn a quarterfinal
meeting with Lendl.
“I have never played him before
and it took me a little while to get
used to his game,” said Connors, a
point away from trailing 1-5. “But
once I got into his game, it was just a
case of going out there and playing
the kind of tennis I am capable off.”
Sanchez, making passes with all
the elegance of a matador, delighted
the center court crowd at Roland
Garros Stadium. And he looked re
ady for a spectacular, quick kill when
he held three break points for a 5-1
lead. But the U.S. Open champion
then regained command.
Connors, chasing the only major
title to have eluded him in an illus
trious career, won 26 of the next 29
points to take the opening set and
lead 5-0 in the next.
Connors produced delicate chips,
explosive, double-fisted backhand
passes and flowing forehand drives.
Sanchez wilted under the onslapght
and even laughed in admiration
when Connors sent him scampering
in the wrong direction with a bril
liant finesse shot.
No. 6 Yannick Noah of Lrance,
the defending champion, was trail
ing 3-6, 6-2, 0-1 against Balazs Ta-
roczy of Hungary when play was
halted. The fourth-round match be
tween No. 4 Mats Wilander of Swe
den, the 1982 winner, and Juan
Aguiler of Spain did not get under
way.
The quarterfinal match between
No. 1 woman Martina Navratilova
and Kathy Horvath failed to start
and No. 3 Hana Mandlikova of
Czechoslovakia led 16-year-old Me
lissa Brown 6-1, 2-3 in their quar
terfinal.
Connors’ quarterfinal opponent
Tuesday is No. 9 Henrik Sundstrom
of Sweden, who qualified for the last
eight Sunday.
“I haven’t played him on clay be
fore, just once on grass,” Connors
said. “But I know his results are
good and I’m looking forward to it.”
Asked about his chance of becom
ing the first‘American to win the
Lrench Open since 1955, he said:
“I’m still in here but I still have a lot
of road to cover, lots of great players
to play against.”
Lendl, who has never won a major
in four finals, took 2 hours 6 min
utes to win his rain-interrupted
match against Jarryd.
Lendl’s serve proved too much for
the Swede, whose challenge evapo
rated after the opening set in which
the only service break came in the
second game.

LA confident
but not cocky
United Press International
INGLEWOOD, Calif. — The Los
Angeles Lakers worked on defensive
strategy Monday — defending
against becoming overconfident.
“I’m concerned about us feeling
too good about our game,” Los An
geles coach Pat Riley said a day after
his team routed the Boston Celtics
137-104 to take a 2-1 lead in the
NBA championship series.
“It goes back to (Dave) Cowens
and (Bill) Russell,” Riley said. “To
play the Boston Celtics, we have to
be ready physically and emotionally.
If you get caught half-stepping with
them, you’re in trouble.”
The Lakers were high-stepping,
not half-stepping, Sunday at the Lo-
rum in Game 3.
Los Angeles scored 47 points in
the third period — breaking the re
cord set 24 years ago by a single
point. Magic Johnson set another
championship series mark by dish
ing out 21 assists in orchestrating
Los Angeles’ fine-tuned running
game.
Game 4 in the best-of-seven series
is set for Wednesday night in the Los
Angeles Forum. Game 5 will see the
series shift back to Boston Garden.
“They run on every situation you
give them,” said Boston’s Larry Bird,
whose 30 points failed to become a
factor in Game 3. “They beat us at
their own game. What can you do
when they’re scoring 3 i/a points ev
ery minute?”
All coach K.C. Jones and the his
Boston Celtics could do Sunday was
watch the Lakers and Johnson re
write the record book.
“The key to the fastbreak is not to
make it fancy,” Johnson said. “It’s
the basic pass, one that just gets it to
the man and lets him carry it in.
“I really don’t know its impact on
Boston, but it gives us a great feel
ing. It brings everybody up to an
other level. You want the ball back
again so you can continue and keep
it going.”
Boston center Robert Parish, held
to 9 points Sunday, said his team
can’t keep up with the Laker track
stars.
“The difference is they’ve got
more foot speed and more people
who can run the court,” Parish said.
Parish, outplayed by Kareem Ab-
dul-Jabbar in Game 3, admitted he is
having a rough time with the NBA’s
premiere center.
“This is the most doubling I’ve
had since I’ve been playing,” said
Parish, an eight-year veteran. “I’m
getting shots, but not my shots. In
stead of the five or six footers, I’m
out eight or 10 feet instead.”
Riley said the Western Confer
ence final matchup with the Phoenix
Suns prepared Abdul-Jabbar for the
pounding he’s facing in the title se
ries.
“Having Kareem play against Rick
Robey and James Edwards helped
him because they are so physical,”
Riley said. “He and Robert Parish
have adjusted. There’s a challenge in
there. I’m glad they (the referees)
are letting both centers play.
Conversely, Riley said, the Celtics
didn’t face opponents that would
have prepared them for the Lakers
fast-paced style of play.
“The Celtics played three series
against teams that wouldn’t run with
them,” he said. “Milwaukee and New
York would try it at times, but Bos
ton had to get used to us doing it all
the time.
“But we played as good a running
game (Sunday) as we’ve played all
season. There were just a few min
utes when they shot and rebounded
well.”
’84 Games boast
largest field ever
United Press International
LOS ANGELES — A record-142
nations will attend the Summer
Games despite the Soviet-led boycott
that took 16 countries from the field,
Olympic organizers said Monday.
Peter Ueberroth, president of the
Los Angeles Olympic Organizing
Committee, called the Soviet boycott
a “big failure” that hurts only the
athletes of the Communist Bloc na
tions.
He said 7,800 athletes will arrive
for the 23rd Olympiad July 28-Aug.
12. More than 9,500 were expected
before the boycott was announced
last month.
The last 10 countries to formally
accept invitations were Burma,
Equatorial Guinea, Jordan, Lesotho,
Madagascar, Seychelles, Somalia,
Tonga, Upper Volta and Angola.
The LAOOC received a telex
from the Angolan delegation Mon
day — nearly 36 hours after the
deadline — but Ueberroth said ev
ery effort was made to heat the
dock.
“The boycott has a single success
— it’s ability to hurt athletes,” Ue
berroth said at a news conference.
“But otherwise the boycott is a big
failure. You only have to meet one
athlete of a boycotting country to
understand the pain.”
Ueberroth said the Soviet Union,
which withdrew May 8 accusing the
United States of violating the Olym
pic charter and failing to provide ad
equate security for its athletes, has
continued to pressure African na
tions to pull out.
“There will be Soviet efforts to
force countries to change their
mind, which would be against Olym
pic rules,” he said.
The 16 boycotting countries are
the Soviet Union, Afghanistan, Bul
garia, Cuba, Czechoslovakia,
Ethiopa, East Germany, Hungary,
North Korea, Laos, Mongolia, Po
land, Vietnam, South Yemen, Iran
and Albania.
“You only have to meet one ath
lete of a boycotting country to un
derstand the pain,” Ueberroth said.
The LAOOC listed two countries
as not responding to Olympic invita
tions — Albania and Iran. Both an
nounced long before the boycott
they would not participate.
Bolivia announced Sunday it will
not attend the Olympics because of
its severe economic crisis and the low
quality of its athletes. But Ueberroth
listed Bolivia as a participant, saying
the LAOOC would help the country
seek funds.
