11th ranked in the United States matched the performance that carried his past top-seeded Ilie Nas-tase and Van Diilen was forced to settle for $2000 in runner-up money All three of previous matches

serve that produced four three in the second set Eight Straight Points Van Diilen ranked No 7 in the US had one last chance as he pulled to deuce in the seventh game when Edlefsen double faulted But
