iggie women netters find
oing easy against Lamar
By KEN SURY
Assistant Sports Editor
Despite a swirling cross wind which kept both teams
off-balance for much of the afternoon, the Texas
A&M women’s tennis team eased to an 8-1 victory over
Tamar Tuesday.
The Aggies’ only loss came in the No. 6 singles
imatch as Lamar’s Donna Van Auken defeated Kellie
orman, 0-6, 7-5, 7-5.
A&M Women’s Tennis Coach Bobby Kleinecke said
orman’s match was a tough one for the Aggies to lose
because she won the first set easily and was leading the
[second, 4-1, when Van Auken mounted a comeback.
Kleinecke added that Lamar played all out against
A&M because the Cardinals had nothing to lose and
eu-rything to gain if they could upset the Aggies.
‘It’s a lot like we’ll probably play against Trinity (No.
3 in the preseason national rankings) this Saturday,”
iKIeinecke said. “We’ll just go out there (to San Anto
nio) and have fun since we’re not expected to really
|vtm any games against them. And, playing relaxed like
tli.it, we’ll probably play some pretty close matches.”
Kleinecke said the top half of his singles team,
|anne Akagi, Kim Labuschagne and Gaye Lynne Gen-
slt r have been playing strong, competitive tennis. He
especially praised the play of Akagi.
“She’s getting so much more mentally tough for
these matches,” he said. “She’s not just concentrating
on her strokes, but also on outhinking her opponent.
I’m really looking for a good year from Vanne.”
Kleinecke said the bottom half of the singles looked
shaky against Lamar, but added, “If we make the cor
rections we need to, we’ll be in good shape for confer
ence.”
The A&M women’s next matches are Friday when
they and the men host Louisiana Tech at 1:30 p.m. at
the Omar Smith Tennis Center.
Singles Results:
A&M’s Vanne Akagi defeated Lamar’s Jean Schalk, 6-
2, 6-3; A&M’s Kim Labuschagne def. Lamar’s Judy
Flook, 6-0, 6-3; A&M’s Gaye Lynne Gensler def. La
mar’s Marie Farrar, 6-1, 6-3; A&M’s Helen
Christiaanse def. Lamar’s Gill Oakenfull, 6-4, 6-2;
A&M’s Laura Liong def. Lamar’s Isabel Coetzer, 7-6,
6-3; A&M’s Kellie Dorman lost to Lamar’s Donna Van
Auken, 0-6, 7-5, 7-5.
Doubles Results:
Akagi-Gensler def. Oakenfull-Flook, 6-2, 6-2; Labus-
chagne-Karen Marshall def. Schalk-Van Auken, 6-2,

Evert Lloyd moves into Lipton semis

■■BOCA RATON, Fla. — Top-
■«eded Chris Evert Lloyd dominated
IMMnseeded Terry Phelps 6-2, 6-0 in
|l just 50 minutes Tuesday night in the
HjBuarterfinals of the $1.8 million Lip-
(■■tn International Players Cham-
pionships.
■ Earlier Tuesday, Steffi Graf, 16,
JlHf West Germany held off a deter-
■^Bined rally by Zina Garrison to join
| t Hdena Sukova of Czechoslovakia
l land Kathy Rinaldi in the semifinals.
The second-seeded Graf, who lost
match points in the 10th game
the second set, eventually wore
■jBjwn sixth-seeded Garrison and
■jBon 6-2, 6-7, 6-3. Sukova, the sev-
SPMith seed, ripped 14th-seeded Bar-
>|p)it ra Potter 6-1, 6-2. And the ninth-
|||iMeded Rinaldi won a battle of 18-
■jBar-olds, tripping 12th-seeded Car-
, Bug Bassett of Canada 7-6, 6-2.
■ In the Thursday semifinals, Su-
I Bva plays Graf and Rinaldi plays
*11 j Lloyd.
I Lloyd said she wanted to win im
pressively against Phelps because she

felt she had played poorly in the first
week of this tournament. Though
she hasn’t lost a set, several of her
first eight sets were close. That
wasn’t the case Tuesday when
Phelps lost the final 11 games.
“I just felt a little more pumped
up for some reason,” Lloyd said. “I
moved her all over the court. Her
game is to play steady, but I think
she felt she had to go for some shots
against me she wouldn’t have against
the other girls.”
The day matches, originally
scheduled for 11 a.m., finally got
started at just after 2 p.m. But after
two games, the rain began to fall
again and the players were shuttled
back to the players’ lounge for an
other 90-minute delay.
When play resumed, Sukova went
right to work, finishing off Potter in
only 53 minutes on an outside court.
The tall Czech hasn’t lost a set in the
tournament.
Meanwhile, Graf appeared to be
on her way to an equally easy quar
terfinal victory, romping to a 6-2, 5-

I SAN ANTONIO — Guard Alvin

iouble for only the second time in
isinf | NBA history, as he led the San Anto-

Phoenix Suns Tuesday night.
I Robertson scored 20 points, dealt
out 10 assists, stole the ball 10 times
and ripped down 10 rebounds as he
hit double figures in four statistical

Nate Thurmond, who had 22
points; 14 rebounds, 13 assists and
12 blocked shots on opening night of
the 1974-75 season for the Chicago
Bulls, accomplished the only other

NBA.
I Spurs’ forward Mike Mitchell led

3 lead against Garrison. But the
spunky Garrison refused to quit.
In the tense 10th game of the sec
ond set, Graf had two match points,
but lost them both when Garrison
got to the net for volleys. Finally, on
Garrison’s third break point, Graf
hit a forehand volley long to tie the
game score at 5-5.
Both of them held serve to force a
tie-breaker, which Garrison won 7-3
with four of her points coming on
volley winners.
But that took a lot out of Garri
son, and it showed as she started
having serving problems. She dou
ble-faulted twice to lose her serve in
the sixth game of the final set, and
double-faulted on break point in the
eighth game to fall behind 5-3.
Finding the turning point of the
Rinaldi-Bassett match took no ex
pert. At 6-5 in the first-set tie
breaker, Rinaldi set Bassett up with
an easy lob at the net. But the Ca
nadian blew it, hitting the ball long
to give Rinaldi the set.
She never got over the disappoint
ment in the second set.
“I got lucky on that point,” Ri
naldi said. “I don’t know if it was
from the tension of the match or
what. I think the first set was very
tight.
“It’s just too bad that she missed
on set point.”
The eight players in Wednesday’s
men’s quarterfinals range from the
predictable to the incredible, with a
few interesting possibilities in the
middle.
Top-seeded Ivan Lendl of
Czechoslovakia, second-seeded Mats
Wilander of Sweden and third-
seeded Jimmy Connors lead the
march into Wednesday’s men’s quar
terfinals.
Then, there’s Milan Srejber, the
towering Czech who burst onto the
international tennis two weeks ago
With a runner-up performance at
the Toronto Indoors, his first Grand
Prix event.
There’s Guy Forget, suddenly
playing up to the level of his prom
ising juniors career, and his more fa
mous French compatriot Yannick
Noah.
Finally, there was two more of the
seemingly endless parade of talented
young Swedes — fifth-seeded Stefan
Edberg and lOth-seeded Joakim
Nystrom.
