Navratilova
ignored; Graf
seeks slam
NEW YORK (AP) — With all the
hoopla over Steffi Grafs Grand
Slam bid, Martina Navratilova’s at
tempt to win a third straight U.S.
Open has gone virtually unnoticed.
“It’s like I don’t even exist,” Nav
ratilova said.
The pattern continued Sunday
when rain washed out play at the
National Tennis Center.
Since Graf wasn’t scheduled to
play, Navratilova’s fourth-rounder
against Elna Reinach would have
been the featured women’s match.
But the only play on the soaked cen
ter court occurred when ballboys
tried to throw tennis balls out of the
stadium.
It was the second rain-plagued
session during the tournament’s first
week. Only five matches were com
pleted Monday before play was
halted.
Rain also wiped out the second
Sunday of last year’s tournament,
forcing a one-day delay of the men’s
final between Ivan Lendl and Mats
Wilander.
Lendl, who is seeking a record
fourth straight U.S. Open title, was
scheduled to play American Scott
Davis in the third round Sunday.
The rain also postponed matches
featuring fourth-seeded Andre
Agassi, No. 6 Jimmy Connors and
No. 9 Tim Mayotte.
Navratilova, seeded second be
hind Graf, was one of four women’s
seeds to have matches postponed.
The others were No. 5 Gabriela Sa-
batini, No. 11 Zina Garrison and No.
16 Larisa Savchenko.
All the postponed matches were
rescheduled for Monday, when the
forecast calls for a 40 percent chance
of rain.
The backlog will provide tennis
fans with a bonanza of big names
Monday. Also scheduled to play are
Graf, Wilander, Chris Evert and Ste
fan Edberg.
Navratilova has won four of the
last five U.S. Opens, but the spot
light has been on Grafs attempt to
capture her first U.S. Open and
complete the first Grand Slam in 18
years.
Only four players have won the
Australian, French, Wimbledon and
U.S. championships in the same year
— Don Budge in 1938, Maureen
Connolly in 1953, Rod Laver in 1962
and 1969, and Margaret Court in
1970.
Although she won six Grand Slam
events in a row in 1983-84, Navrati
lova’s feat isn’t recognized as a Slam
because she didn’t win four in the
same year.
“I find that pretty amazing,” she
said. “When I won it, the headline in
Sports Illustrated was ‘Grand Slam
Martina.’ Now it’s like I don’t even
exist.
