Lendl Survives 5-Set Challenge

WIMBLEDON, England — Top-seeded Ivan Lendl overcame his own erratic play and the driving serves and volleys of Michiel Schapers to pull out a five-set victory at Wimbledon today. Lendl, so bothered by noise that he once yelled “Shut up!” to someone in the crowd, rallied to beat the Dutchman, the world’s 43rd-ranked player, 6-7, 7-6, 6-4, 6-7, 6-1.

But ninth-seeded Hana Mandlikova made an early exit from her second consecutive Grand Slam tournament. The Wimbledon runner-up in 1981 and 1986 lost to Anne Minter of Australia 6-4, 6-3. Among the winners today were top-seeded Steffi Graf, defending champion Pat Cash, Boris Becker, Tim Mayotte, Henri Leconte, Helena Sukova and Zina Garrison.
