Lendl, Graf Advance to Round 3

WIMBLEDON, England — Top seeds Ivan Lendl and Steffi Graf advanced to the third round at Wimbledon today in contrasting fashion.

Graf moved ahead with ease, blitzing 18-year-old Karine Quentrec of Marseilles, France, 6-2, 6-0. But Darren Cahill, a grass-court specialist from Australia, gave Lendl a tough time before losing 5-7, 6-2, 6-4, 6-4. Two-time champion Boris Becker also won, beating Karel Novacek of Czechoslovakia 6-3, 6-4, 6-4. Last year, Becker failed to get past the second round, losing to little-known Peter Doohan.
