A lose and often brilliant Patricia McEnroe proved yesterday that his brother, John, isn't the only McEnroe worth watching.
The younger McEeron was a double winner in exhibition matches played at the Alvaram Racquet Club in Copenhagen and at Kansastand match Mike Wolf to deter current Jayhawk tennis players Craig Wildley and Chris Walker, 7-5, 6-4, in double competition before John Isner, 6-4, 6-1, in singles play.
McEnroe said being the brother of one of the world's most recognizable tennis players made it hard to establish himself as a professional.
"I'm eager and optimistic soon, proving myself as a professional," the 22-year old McEwen said. "I'm the player my brother is, but not my own. I know I'm able to like think that I'll be able to establish myself through my play."
John is well known for his temperamental outbursts. In contrast, McEarson was collected on the court. The younger McEarson he was able to learn from his peers.
It was tough seeing someone so close to you being criticized. "McEnroe said." "I learned from watching him speak, and I noticed the problems that go along with it."
M.Enroe enjoyed a successful U.S.
Open in Flushing Mound, NY. This
team outscored the doubles competition with Elizabeth
Snyle and the quarterfinals of the
WTA Tour.
"It would have been nice if we could have won in the mixed doubles. McNehre said." But just let it happen, and slam tournament is pretty good.
Kansas' Falbo, who won the Big Eight Conference季盟 championship as a freshman last year, said he

was impressed with McElaine's play,
and the way he made an awhile and that makes a difference. Falbo said, "I hit some pretty good shots, but he knew where I was going."
"That's something you can only pick up with experience. To be successful at this level you have to keep managing everyday or you'll get left behind."
Falho was impressive early as he broke McRae's serve at the start of game 1, but he broke to even the score at 4-4, and after holding his serve, broke McRae.
"I was up in the first set and playing pretty well," Farba said. "I should have finished him off and won it. I didn't serve as well as I wanted."
"But I had a good time. I hope the crowd enjoyed the matches as much as we did playing them."
McEnroe praised Falbo's performance.
"He is a very good player." McEnroe said. "He hit some good shots and played some really good tennis. He has good potential as a player."
A crowd of about 200 fans was also treated to some excitement in the doubles match. Wildey and Walker won the doubles and Wolf all they wanted and more.
Wildey, the Bight Eight No. 3 singles champion last year, who also won the Big Eight double title in 1887 and 1888, and Walker, the No. 4 champion in 1977, with their opponents through most of the match
"We hadn't played in a long time, so it was good getting some work in." Walker said. "We were hitting the ball well early, but then we got our out on retaliation when That's our game when we beat it with it, our whole game suffered.
"We didn't win, but we still had a good time. I should they should do things like this more often. It is amazing that we can idea of what big-time tennis is like."
Kansas men's coach, Scott Perltton, said he was also in favor of bringing similar events to Lawrence in the future.
"I think it's good for everybody," Perelman said. "It's good for our players, Alvamar and for the community in general. I hope in the future we have a more of these and that they will be as much fun as it's amazing how many people really enjoy themselves when they do come out."
Perelman said his players could benefit from playing in exhibitions like the one held yesterday.
"Anytime you have a chance to play in front of a crowd or play someone the caliber of McEnroe is, what makes you valuable to him." What makes it even better? Right here in town. All our guys had to do was get up and come down here."
McEnroe said he would welcome another trip to Lawrence.
"These are a lot of fun for me." McEnroe said. "It gives me a chance to play a little tennis and relax. I'll be back if they ask me."
Patrick McEnroe works his way to a victory in a doubles exhibition match at Alvamar Country Club.
