But when he took the court, as the sun was beginning to slide into the horizon, there was little reason to believe he would become the tournament's first major upset victim.

It had been another day of minor intrigue. Chris Evert struggled through a three-set match against West German teenager Christine Singer, finally winning 6-4, 3-6, 6-3. Two seeded men lost: No. 11 Anders Jarryd in four sets to American Jim Grabb, and No. 13 Emilio Sanchez in five sets to Czechoslova-kian Petr Korda.

Californians Derrick Rostagno and Marty Davis played a remarkable match. Rostagno finally won 16-14 in the fifth set, after having two match points in the third set more than two hours earlier. Centre Court return When McEnroe and Masur took the court a few minutes before 6 p.m., it marked the first time McEnroe had been on Centre Court since 1985, when he had lost to Kevin Curren. He had said after his first-round victory over Horst "Skoff on Tuesday that though he felt capable of winning the tournament, he knew someone like Masur could give him trouble. "The problem with me right now, though, is that the minute I step onto the court it seems like I'm playing down to the other guy's level," he said.

"It's like I can't push myself. The way I played tonight makes you almost want to get sick." It didn't start that way. McEnroe broke Masur in the second game of the match and looked strong. The crowd again was very much with him, actually cheering when McEnroe didn't argue questionable line calls. "That was a weird feeling," McEnroe said.

"It's really kind of ridiculous that it would come to that. It was a very strange feeling. I think they were trying to be nice, but I didn't get any satisfaction out of it." After that initial break, McEnroe got very little satisfaction from anyone, least of all Masur. At 25, Masur is a classic journeyman Australian grass-courier: He can serve and volley, but the rest of his game is ordinary. But on grass, he is capable of major upsets, as he proved when he defeated Boris Becker in the Australian Open.

Masur also is known as a player who has trouble finishing.

He hit three backhand returns and got the last point by blasting Masur's first serve right back past him. Briefly, McEnroe shook a fist, giving himself a pep talk. "I know I'm in shape, but I didn't feel like running for balls or doing anything out there," McEnroe said. "It was just a disgusting performance." And yet, McEnroe again came within a point of winning in the second set. With Masur serving at 5-6, McEnroe got to set point with a backhand pass down the line.

Again Masur took a deep breath and got in a first serve. This one was hittable, but McEnroe netted a backhand and Masur served out the game. Then came the crucial tiebreaker. McEnroe took a 2-0 lead. At 2-1, he punched a backhand volley that he thought caught the line.

It was called out and chair umpire Rudi Berger refused to overrule. Clearly miffed, McEnroe fell behind 4-2 before hitting three straight winners to go ahead 5-4. But Masur won his two service points to reach 6-5 and set point. These always have been the moments when McEnroe has been able to reach back for a big serve. He did just that, but Masur crushed a forehand return at him and McEnroe's lunging backhand volley dropped wide.

He was two sets down, and the quickly setting sun seemed symbolic. Masur was not about to let darkness interfere with his grand moment. He broke McEnroe in the second game of the third set with two returns at McEnroe's feet and Vf Jiff at I jar Sunday I lJ Fri Sat. 9-6. Sunday 10-5 I Saturday 25 26 USED TRAILERS.

By this time, the crowd was almost pleading with McEnroe to find a way, to somehow turn into his old self and not just fade into the night. McEnroe never quit, never stopped chasing and diving.

He had two break points at 4-2, but Masur saved both with a serve and a crisp backhand volley. At deuce, Masur hit a hand volley McEnroe thought was deep. It was called good. "I should have played the ball," McEnroe said. "It was absurd for me to think I would get a good call." When Berger again refused to overrule, McEnroe angrily threw down his racket, his only real outburst of the match.

Berger promptly hit him with a code-violation warning for racket abuse. When Masur finally ended it, with a serve and one last, perfect forehand volley, he didn't jump up and down or exult. He understood that, wonderful as the occasion was for him, this was not a moment for celebration. McEnroe, appreciative of his sensitivity, tapped him on the back and said, "well-played," as the two shook hands. McEnroe walked out to warm applause, vowing that, at 29, this would not be the way he went out.

"I can't let it go like this," he said. "I just can't walk away. I still know I can beat any of these guys. They're not any good, I mean, there's no one I look at and say, 'He's just too No one is doing anything special out here." He stopped himself. "Of course I haven't done anything special, either.

He lost two close Davis Cup matches against India last fall, defeats that made him the target of criticism at home. Problems forgotten Thursday night, none of those were evident. On every big point, he was the resolute one. "I played the big points better than I ever have," he said.

The strange thing about the match was how close McEnroe came to winning it though he never won a set. Masur broke him to make it 4-all in the first set, but then McEnroe had a set point at 4-5. Masur promptly delivered a huge service winner and held for 5-5. McEnroe then lost concentration for a moment something that almost never happened to him in the past and double-faulted three times in the next game, giv ing Masur a gift break. Quickly, Masur served out the set.

That was not nearly so vital as the second set. Masur got an early break to go up 4-3, but McEnroe broke back with a game that mam viJiriKJi m.i kj rev 0 ft est Palm in eac 1 i FANTASTIC TANS CALL NOW FOR $50 SPECIAL" OPEN 7 DAYS 10 AM TO 4 AM 683-8883 428-6776 2712 OKEECHOBEE W.P.B.
