The feisty New Yorker withdrew from the last three tournaments he was scheduled to play in Australia. Wilander, meanwhile, expects to find his path to the final tough. "Lendl and Becker have both improved tremendously and will be hard to beat on grass," he said. Becker, who turned 18 last week, reached the quarterfinals of the 1984 Open. Others who could pose a threat include Curren, big-serving American Tim Mayotte and two-time champion Johan Kriek.

Most of the those entered, Including Wilander and Lendl, warmed qp for the Open by competing in a four-day indoor exhibition tournament at Canberra. Most of the top women have been competing In grass-court tournaments in Brisbane and Sydney. The one notable exception was Lloyd, who was practicing in Kooyong. Her longtime rival, Martina Navratilova, however, played in both grass tournaments. She has competed only one other time since losing the U.S.

Open to Hana Mandlikova of Czechoslovakia in September. "I felt I really needed to play some matches after having five weeks off," she said. Navratilova, who won here in 1981 and 1983, lost to Helena Sukova of Czechoslovakia in last year's Open, a defeat that ended her dreams of completing a calendar-year Grand Slam. Sukova again will be among her rivals, as will her doubles partner Pam Shriver, who had to skip the Sydney tournament because of an infected toe. Like Navratilova, Lloyd is a two-time Australian Open winner.

Her first title was in 1982. MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) Mats Wilander of Sweden will pursue his third straight title while Chris Evert Lloyd tries to defend her crown at the $1.5 million Australian Open tennis championships starting Monday in Kooyong. The 21-year-old Wilander, this year's French Open winner, buried the notion that he was a winner only on slow courts with successive victories on the fast Australian grass. He defeated both John McEnroe and Ivan Lendl of Czechoslovakia to win in 1983 and beat Kevin Curren in last year's final. If he wins three in a row, Wilander would become only the third player to do so.

Jack Crawford won the Open from 1931-1933, and Roy Emerson won five in a row, starting in 1963. Wilander will face most of the world's top-ranked men at the year's final Grand Slam event, including No. 1 Lendl, No. 2 McEnroe and Wimbledon champion Boris Becker of West Germany. i CHANGEOVER SPIN BALANCE 4 Computer Balance TIRES FOR THE PRICE OF II i 4.99 Offer ends 1 1 3085 Offer ends 1 1 3085 90 Days Same as Cash TIRE CO.
