Edberg wins match, doesn't lose a game
From Kansan wires
WIMBLEDON, England — Sweden's Stefan Edberg was perfect, while defending champion Boris Becker put on an acrobatic display of tennis Tuesday as the rain-delayed 101st Wimbleldon championships began.
Edberg, the reigning Australian Open champion who is considered one of Becker's chief rivals for the world's most prestigious grasscourt crown, crushed compatriot Stefan Ericksson 6-0, 6-0, 6-0.
It was only the third time since the open era began in 1968 that a man has swept all 18 games in a Grand Slam tournament match.
After rain wiped out all of Monday's schedule and delayed the start of Tuesday's matches, Becker took to Centre Court and began the defense of his title by defeating Czechoslovakia's Karel Novacek 6-4, 6-2. 4-1
Ivan Lendl, the world's top-ranked player who lost to Becker in the final year, struggled before beating West Germany's Christian Saceanu 6-2, 3-6, 6-7.5.
Edberg needed only 60 minutes to blast his way into the second round. It was, according to tournament records, the shortest men's match at Wimbledon since players were first allowed to have chairs on the sidelines and 90 seconds rest after every second game, in the mid-1970s.
The serve-and-volley specialist lost just 34 points as he became the third known player — and the third Swede — to win every game in a match at Wimbledon. The others were Lennart Bergelin, who later coached Bjorn Borg, in 1946 and Torsten Johansson in 1947. Johansson not only did it in the first round, but repeated the performance in his second-round match.
Edberg said he knew his 23-year opponent was playing his first game on grass and he thought about easing up near the end to avoid inflicting such a crushing defeat on a fellow Swede.
"When I was at 5 in the third set, I thought about giving him a game," Edberg said, "but then thought maybe I'll never get another chance to do it in a Grand Slam event. But I feel
very sorry for him."
The nearest Eriksson came to winning a game was at 40-15 in the fourth *game* of the opening set.
But Edberg blasted back to level, saving another game point and then taking 11 of the next 14 points to wrap up the set.
Eriksson won only eight points during the second set, during which Edberg sent down four aces in one service game. He then finished the set with four consecutive points against the serve.
Eriksson reached deuce on Edberg's serve in the opening game of the third set, but his game fell apart at 2-0, after which he won just six more points.
The two other players who have won love matches in Grand Slam tournaments in the open era are Navacek, who did it four weeks ago, and Nikki Spear in 1968. Both were accomplished at the French Open.
Becker and Novacek actually made two appearances on Centre Court. The first ended abruptly after he was given a warm-up when the rain began again.
The acrobatic Becker, who has thrilled the crowd with his diving volleys while winning the title the last two years, didn't disappoint them, although most of his lunges only produced winning points for Navocace.
However, Novacek never really threatened the No. 1 seed.
Other seeded men to win tuesday were No. 11 Pat Cash of Australia, 6-0, 6-3, 6-2 over American Marcel Freeman; No. 12 Brad Gilbert of the United States, 7-6, 6-4, 6-3 over Britain's Stuart Bale; and No. 13 Joakim Nystrom, who defeated Henrik Sundstrom 6-2, 6-7, 6-4, 6-3 in a battle of Swedes.
On the women's side. No. 7 Grabiele Sabatini of Argentina defeated American Barbara Gerkin 6-3, 6-3. No. 8 Manuela Malevee of Bulgaria downed Canada's Helen Kelsei 6-3, 6-2. and No. 11 Noll McNeil of the United States stopped Marie-Christine Calleja of France 6-2, 6-3.
With the backlog of matches due to the weather, tournament officials will begin play on Wednesday about two hours earlier.
