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.
