"'It felt so great, I wanted to do it again," Lendl said of his repeat performance on the hard courts of th$ National Tennis Center. "It probably feels better this time." 'THE MATCH was a chess game between two Czechoslovak masters as much as it was a btennis match, they probed and teeed each other from the baseline, changing spins and pace, looking for any kind of opening. 'At times it was a long-range artllery battle, with both right- handed firing from the baseline. Thin one or the other would sneak to the net for a volley. If it wasn't a ynner, they would retreat to the of the baseline, once again reay to wage long-distance war. And when it was over, Mecir had learned what many before hir had discovered: Lendl is the bedt player in the world. LENDL TRIED to assert his dominance right at the beginning, breaking Mecir to begin the set. But the bearded R Czech with the lazy eyes and lazy- looking strokes, broke right back. He then staved off a break point to hold in the third game. The preliminaries were out of the way. Lendl held at 30. Mecir held at 15. Lendl held at love, including his first two aces of the match. Then Lendl broke and went into high gear. 'HE BEGAN the eighth game with his third ace, then added his fourth of the day as he held at 15 to move out to a 5-3 lead. Mecir saved one set point in the 10th game, but Lendl hauled off and ended the opening set with his fifth ace. "Once I had the set,'I started moving and playing so much better," Lendl said. Now, Mecir changed tactics, preferring to engage in longer rallies from the baseline, seeing which player would be more patient. It made no difference. MECIR MADE "a couple loose second serves, he was pressing... he went for a few crazy shots," Lendl said. "That's not his gande." tLendl broke Mecir in the third game after two deuces, the final point another backhand passing shot down the line. Ace No. 6 was Lendl's way of beginning the fourth game, which he won at love. MECIR, by now being run all over the court by Lendl, fought off a break point before holding to pull 2-3. It was the last game he would win as Lendl ripped through the next nine games to finish off his victory in one hour, 53 minutes. Lendl finished with 10 aces - the last one, appropriately, on match point. He had no double fanits. ;Mecir had one ace and two double-faults. And he finished with 42 unforced errors, 20 more r than Lendl. :Where the first set took 50 minutes to complete, Lendl ran thtough the final set in just 26 minutes. Ndvradlova wins tde& NTEW YORK (AP) = Martina Navratilova, the level of her game as high as her emotions, Icaptured her third U.S. Open women's singles title in four years yesterday, crushing Czechoslovakia's Helena Sukova 6-3, 6-2. It was Navratilova's second straight Grand Slam Crown - she won Wimbledon in July - and the 15th Grand Slam singles title of her career. "I wasn't surprised she played over West Germany's Steffi Graf. The world's top-ranked player has won seven Wimbledon crowns, two French Opens and three Australian Opens. In addition to winning Wimbledon this year, she was in the final of the French Open in June, losing the title match to Lloyd. After the match, Navratilova consoled Sukova, the seventh seed. "I know she didn't play that well, "Navratilova said. "She was obviously nervous playing in the big final. I was just trying to tell her it's OK. I'm sure she'll be here again. I told her I hope she VIOLIN LESSONS Beginning through Advanced. Doctorate from U of M. 20 Years Experience. Near Central Campus. For More Info. 663-8392 wins it, but not against me." Sukova did not seem surprised by the loss. "I think I really need to improve a lot to play on the top level of the game," she said. "I was disappointed because I thought I had a chance," Sukova said, thinking back to her 3-1 lead in the first set before Navratilova won seven straight games. "It just slipped and I never got back. She played too well. She didn't want me to get back," Sukova said. Navratilova later teamed up with 'Pam Shriver to win the women's doubles title over Hana Mandlikova and Wendy Turnbull, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3.
