TENNIS ROUNDUP : McEnroe Loses Temper, Then Match at Paris Open

Yugoslavia’s Goran Ivanisevic ousted John McEnroe, 6-4, 6-4, Wednesday in the Paris Open as the American had a run-in with officials.

At the end of the eighth game of the second set, McEnroe was given a penalty point after disputing a call that made the score 5-3 in favor of Ivanisevic. After the game, McEnroe went up to the line judge and said something.

When the line judge told the chair umpire what McEnroe said, the chair umpire deducted a penalty point. McEnroe refused to serve after being told he was down 0-15. Only the arrival of French tournament referee Gilbert Ysern persuaded McEnroe to resume the match. McEnroe then held his serve despite the disadvantage, but Ivanisevic, who finished with 16 aces, won on his own service in the next game.

Top-seeded Stefan Edberg beat fellow Swede, Thomas Hogstedt, 6-0, 6-7 (7-1), 6-3, and second-seeded Boris Becker ousted Austria’s Horst Skoff, 6-2, 6-4.

Former French Open champion Michael Chang had to battle almost three hours to overcome French qualifier Rodolphe Gilbert, 7-6 (9-7), 3-6, 7-6 (7-1).

In other matches, Aleksandr Volkov of the Soviet Union beat No. 14 Brad Gilbert, 6-2, 2-6, 6-3, Nicklas Kulti, another Swede, eliminated No. 10 David Wheaton, 6-3, 6-3; and Omar Camporese of Italy ousted No. 13 Jakob Hlasek of Switzerland, 7-6 (7-5), 4-6, 6-3.

Javier Sanchez of Spain edged Mexico’s Luis Herrera, 2-6, 6-2, 7-5, to advance to the quarterfinals of a $175,000 tournament at Buzios, Brazil. Earlier, sixth-seeded Thomas Muster of Austria swept Andres Gomez of Ecuador, 6-4, 6-4.
