NEW YORK (AP) — There was no fire in John
McEnroe’s game Tuesday, no temper tantrums,
no arguing with spectators. Now, there is no John
McEnroe in the U.S. Open Tennis Champion
ships.
“I felt like I was in a reasonably good frame of
mind,” said McEnroe, the ninth seed who was ap
pearing in his third tournament since taking a
seven-month sabbatical from tennis, after being
stunned by fellow New Yorker Paul Annacone T
6, 6-1,6-2, 6-3. “I felt like I gave a pretty good ef
fort and was trying the best that I could do.”
It wasn’t enough, as Annacone overpowered
the man who has won America’s premier tennis
event four times, who has captured Wimbledon
three times and who until a year ago was ranked
No. 1 in the world.
“I just hoped that I would go out and play well
today,” Annacone said. “And if I did, then I’d
have a chance. Fortunately, I got a lot of
chances.”
McEnroe became the first finalist to lose in the
first round of the next U.S. Open since Tom Ok-
ker of the Netherlands lost to Britain’s Mark Cox
in the first round in 1969. In 1968, Okker lost to
Arthur Ashe in the title match.
Last year, McEnroe fell to Czechoslovakia’s
Ivan Lendl in the men’s singles final. On Tues
day, Lendl followed McEnroe onto the Louis
Armstrong Stadium Court and crushed Glenn
Layendecker 6-3, 6-2, 6-0.
“It doesn’t affect me at all,” the top-seeded
Lendl said of McEnroe’s shocking defeat. “I
mean I have to play (Robert) Seguso in the sec
ond round.
“Eventually I could have played McEnroe in
the quarters, but it’s a long way there for me and
for him. For him it proved to be too long. I hope
it doesn’t prove to be too long for me.”
Argentina’s Guillermo Vilas, who won the
tournament in 1977 when it was played on clay,
was ousted by Paul McNamee of Australia, 7-5, 5-
7, 2-6, 6-1,6-3. Later in the day, David Pate upset
12th-seeded Thierry Tulasne of France, 3-6, 6-3,
6-1, 5-7, 6-4 and Kathy Rinaldi, the women’s No.
10 seed, fell to Michelle Torres 6-1,6-4.
Defending women’s champion Hana Mandli-
kova of Czechoslovakia and top-seeded Martina
Navratilova easily moved into the second round.
Mandlikova, the fourth seed, cruised past Marie-
Christine Calleja of France, 6-2, 6-2 and Navrati
lova defeated Czechoslovak Andrea Holikova 6-
4,6-2.
It was Annacone, a hard-serving right-hander,
who was dominant on this day as McEnroe con
stantly found himself out of position or commit
ting unforced errors.
The match ended when McEnroe, once almost
untouchable at the National Tennis Center, hit a
volley wide when he had most of the court to aim
at.
“I’m sorry that he lost,” Annacone said of
McEnroe. “I want to see him come back because I
think he’s great for tennis.
“I’m not sorry that I won, but it feels kind of
awkward beating him.”
With the defeat, McEnroe dropped to at least
21st in the world computer rankings, his lowest
ever. Sixth-ranked Jimmy Connors is now the
lone American ranked in the top 10.
Annacone finished with 23 aces to only three
for McEnroe.

had his best years with the New York
Giants.
Arnold, who averaged 44.9 yards
a kick to lead the NFL in 1984 but
slipped to 41.2 last year, was cut by
the Kansas City Chiefs, who will go
with rookie Louis Colbert. The
Chiefs also dropped offensive line
man Bob Olderman and fullback
Bruce King, who began last year as
starters.
Kozlowski, who had started just
seven games in three years with the
Dolphins, was primarily a nickel
back and kick returner.
His best performance came in a
1983 game when he intercepted two
passes by the New York Jets’ Richard
Todd and returned them 35 and 38
yards for touchdowns. Todd was cut
Monday by the New Orleans Saints.
Among others cut Tuesday were
quarterback Scott Brunner and wide
receiver Earnest Gray, a former
playoff passing combination with the
Giants. They were let go by the St.
Louis Cardinals, who also released
one-time starting linebacker
Thomas Howard and veteran de
fensive back Jeff Griffin.
A former Cardinal, 10-year line
backer Kurt Allerman, was cut by
the Detroit Lions and the Denver
Broncos waived a future trivia ques
tion — running back Tony Boddie.

USFL’s Los Angeles Express, out-
