Becker from Page 21 Curren had four match Points but never could close tout and a clan won on his first match Point of the lost my momentum on serve. I had trouble with my serve ail Day Curren said. There s life after ten Nis bul it s very disappointing with the tournament so wide open this i can t believe i won the match said Jelen member of the West German army who was playing Only his third match on grass. It s a great win the Becker Bengoechea match was not among those delayed but the Argentine May have wished the skies would open As he Sank quickly against the no. 4 see from West Germany.
