WIMBLEDON, England — All
performing in different gears, John
McEnroe, Jimmy Connors and Ivan
Lendl found their separate paths
Monday into the quarterfinals on an
other day of surprises at Wimble
don.
Defending women’s champion
Martina Navratilova also won with
out a struggle, but the staid tradition
of Wimbledon received a severe jolt
when two qualifiers advanced along
with the big guns into the quarterfi
nals.
Paul Annacone, a 21-year-old
New Yorker ranked 238th in the
world, routed 12th seed Johan
Kriek, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4, and Swedish
blonde Carina Karlsson, with a rank
ing of 182th, ousted 15th seed An
drea Temesvari, 6-4, 7-5.
Annacone, playing in his first pro
fessional tournament, is the first
qualifier to reach the men’s quar
terfinals at Wimbledon since McEn
roe in 1977, while Karlsson is be
lieved to be the first woman qualifier
ever to reach this plateau.
McEnroe, playing almost faultless
tennis, won eight games in a row in
subduing Bill Scanlon, 6-3, 6-3, 6-1,
in a match totally devoid of any of
the anticipated antics between the
not-so-friendly rivals.
Connors, after starting just a bit
slower, was just as devastating as he
ran off 10 consecutive games in beat
ing Tim Mayotte, 6-7, 6-2, 6-0, 6-2.
Lendl, though, was pushed to five
sets for the second time and barely
squeezed by American Scott Davis, 4-
6, 6-4, 6-4, 5-7, 7-5.
Navratilova, who has lost only 15
games in four matches, couldn’t
have had it much easier as she swept
the first set from Elizabeth Sayers, 6-
0, and then saw her Australian op
ponent withdraw with a stomach
problem.
Fifth seed Jimmy Arias, who
never could get comfortable in his
first ever outing on grass, was beaten
by No. 13 seed Tomas Smid, 7-5, 6-
4, 6-3.
In addition to Kriek, two other
seeded men were eliminated by un
seeded players as No. 11 Kevin Cur-
ren fell to Pat Cash, 4-6, 6-2, 7-6, 6-
1, and No. 15 Vitas Gerulaitis lost 6-
3, 7-5, 6-7, 4-6, 6-3 to John Sadri.
Andres Gomez, the sixth seed, de
feated Terry Moor, 6-0, 6-1, 7-6.
Working their way into the wom
en’s quarterfinals were No. 3 Hana
Mandlikova, No. 4 Pam Shriver, No.
6 Kathy Jordan, No. 7 Manuela Ma
leeva and No. 10 Jo Durie.
Just as McEnroe had done with
Scanlon, Annacone also broke on
Kriek’s first service of each set, and
the former University of Tennessee
star said that qualifying had been
tougher on the nerves.
“I think it’s a shock for a lot of
people, but it has to be the biggest
shock for me,” he said of his position
in the quarterfinals. “I feel I de
served it. I played well through the
qualifying and I felt if I could get
through the qualifying, I could win
some matches here.

LOS ANGELES — An Olympic

irime accommodations are gone.
Getting around Los Angeles, try-
term, the * n g during the best of periods, will
be difficult, but police say they don’t
envision the massive traffic jams pre-
icted by cynics — especially if tour-

Tammy Lazer of the Greater Los
Angeles Visitors and Convention
Bureau said 7,800 hotel and motel
rooms of the 250,000 represented by
the bureau were still available. She
said the best bet, however, is to check
with the bureau about the thousands
of rooms still for rent in apartments,
condominiums and single family
homes.
Although tickets to many of the
most popular events are sold out —
such as the opening and closing cer
emonies, gymnastics, swimming, div
ing, tennis, cycling and fencing —
more than a million tickets to other
events went on sale earlier this
month at nine ticket centers around
Los Angeles.
Sports with seating still available
included baseball, basketball, soccer,
boxing, canoeing and track and
field.
Officials said about 10,000 tickets
set aside for the 14 boycotting East
ern Bloc nations, including seats in
sold-out events, would be offered
first to athletes and their families
and to those wait-listed for sold-out
events, and then would be sold to the
general public.
California Highway Patrol Officer
Jon West said he does not believe the
downtown area’s 65 miles of freeway
will be jammed at a stop, but he is
warning commuters to be prepared
during the July 28.-Aug. 12 Olympic
period.
“The overall picture on the free
ways is we are expecting some very
heavy traffic,” he said. “The traffic
will be larger and even heavier than
it normally is, if you can imagine
that.”
Those hoping to avoid the free
ways and take side streets into Los
Angeles should also beware.
“The side streets are going to have
problems too, especially when you
get near any of the venues,” West
said. “Some of the streets will be
closed, some will allow buses only
and there’s just going to be a lot of
restrictions.”
Those talking about traffic have
dubbed Aug. 3 “Black Friday” be
cause the Los Angeles Memorial
Coliseum, UCLA, University of
Southern California, Forum and
Dodger Stadium — all located within
a 15-mile radius of downtown — will
be busy with various events.
But public transportation officials
say if commuters and visitors ride
buses and shuttles, the traffic prob
lem will be minimized.
Perez keeps word;
returns to ’83 form
United Press International
ATLANTA— Pascual Perez
has been as good as his word.
While he was lingering in a Do
minican Republic prison on a
drug charge, Perez kept saying
that if he got out in time he was
sure he would have another good
season pitching for the Atlanta
Braves.
“I’m keeping in good shape
and I’ll be ready when I get the
chance,” Perez said from the
prison. “I can win more games
than I did last season, maybe even
20 or more.”
Perez, 15-8 last year, made his
first start of ’84 on May 2 after an
arbitrator overruled Commis
sioner Bowie Kuhn’s ruling that
he had to wait until May 15. Perez
had a no-hitter going through
three innings before that one was
rained out and the 27-year-old
right-hander, quickly resuming
his role as ace of Atlanta’s mound
staff, posted an 8-2 mark in his
next 11 starts.
The Braves, a struggling 9-13
before Perez’ return, have played
32-22 ball with him in the lineup
and, ending a two-week home-
stand with a Perez victory, headed
for New York this weekend in sec
ond place, six games over .500.
Perez, acquired from Pitts
burgh in mid-season two years
ago, was sailing along with a spar
kling 12-2 record, best in the ma
jors, through last July, then went
into a tailspin for no apparent
reason the last two months of the
season — when he won only three
games
“I don’t expect that to happen
this year,” he said. “There are a
number of reasons why I didn’t
do as well in August and Septem
ber as I did earlier. I think I
learned some things from that
and see no reason why I can’t be
more consistent this time.”
