Evert Lloyd grabs 2nd-round win
WIMBLEDON, England (AP) —
Second-seeded Chris Evert Lloyd,
along with Mats Wilander and Ste
fan Edberg of Sweden, were pushed
to the limit Thursday before win
ning their second-round matches in
the Wimbledon tennis
championship.
One seeded player, No. 6 Zina
Garrison of the United States, was
ousted on the hot, humid day as
Britain’s Anne Hobbs posted a 6-4,
0-6, 6-4 victory.
Defending champion Boris
Becker of W'est Germany had his
second-round match against Ameri
can Tom Gullikson halted by dark
ness. Becker was leading 6-4, 6-3, 2-
2.
Lloyd, who has won the title at the
All England Club three times,
Wimbledon
downed fellow American Pam Ca-
sale 6-0, 5-7, 6-1.
“I think I played great for the first
set and a half,” Lloyd said. “Then ...
her game lifted to another level and
she played very well. It took me by
surprise a little bit and I played a few
sloppy games there for me.
“But in the third set I settled
down and I was never really threat
ened.”
Second-seeded Wilander
struggled before outlasting Britain’s
Andrew Castle 4-6, 7-6, 6-7, 6-4, 6-0;
and fifth-seeded Edberg eventually
defeated American Paul Annacone
6-4, 6-7, 4-6, 7-5, 6-0.
“I didn’t expect the match to be so
tough,” Wilander said after his 3%-
hour struggle against Castle, who
was playing in only his third Nabisco
Grand Prix tournament. “But I
don’t count on anything here. I just
play them.”
Other seeded players to advance
to the third round were No. 7 Henri
Leconte of France, No. 12 Brad Gil
bert of the United States and No. 13
Mikael Pernfors of Sweden.
In the women’s singles, Thurs
day’s winners included No. 3 Hana
Mandlikova and No. 7 Helena Su-
kova, both of Czechoslovakia; No. 1 1
Carling Bassett of Canada, and No.
16 Kathy Jordan of the United
States.
Betsy Nagelsen, who upset fifth-
seeded Pam Shriver in the opening
round, defeated another American,
Lisa Spain-Short, 6-1, 7-6, while
“lucky loser” Ronni Reis, who got
into the main draw when 13th-
seeded Barbara Potter withdrew
with a back injury, lost her second-
round match to Elise Burgin 6-1, 7-
5.

actions of Bias’ coac
DALLAS (AP) — Since winning
the NBA Slam-Dunk championship
at Reunion Arena here Feb. 8, Spud
Webb has been one hot potato.
He just signed a two-year con
tract, worth a reported $250,000, to
promote a company’s shoes and
clothing.
For three days earlier this month,
representatives of the Pony com
pany took pictures of Webb in Dal

ing campaign for their newest line of
sneaker, The Dunkmaster.

Standing just 5-5'Ai, Webb’s famed
dunking ability has made him
among the latest rages in sports mar
keting.
There is a Spudball made by Ba
den — smaller than the standard
sized basketball.
In the next few months, it’s likely
Webb will be promoting Coca-Cola.
He has been approached by Walt
Disney Studios, which wants to do a
movie about his life.
A book about him is already in the
making.
W'ebb, who last season played with
the Atlanta Hawks for the NBA min
imum salary of $70,000, likely will
emerge as a millionaire.
“He is, like, the rage,” said John
O’Reilly, Pony’s vice president of
marketing. “We have Mary Lou Ret-
ton, too, but we’ve negotiated more
time with Spud. The response has
been phenomenal. He’s the hottest
thing going right now, absolutely.”
But, Webb said, “I’d rather just
play and go home.”
“1 don’t get into the ego thing. I
haven’t told a lot of people about the
camps, or even the shows I’ve been
on,” Webb said.
Like it or not, Webb is appealing
because he is small.
“I want them to say, ‘He can
play,”’ said Webb. “I know because
I’m small I’m doing all these things
now. But I hope my size is just giving
me a foot in the door. I hope that by
playing in the NBA I showed people
I could play.”
