Easy win for Noah
NZPA-Reuter Basle The top seed, Yannick Noah, of France, beat the 18-year-old Mats Wilander, of Sweden, 6-4, 6-2, 6-3, in a surprisingly one-sided Swiss tennis grand prix final in Basle yesterday. The 5000 spectators were treated to a series of exciting rallies and fine stroke play by both players, but Noah’s superior service and
aggressive rushes to the net kept him on top throughout. Wilander, seventh in world rankings and seeded second in the tournament, stayed cautiously on the baseline and rarely troubled Noah with his serve. He led only once in the two-hour match — 2-1 in the third set — when Noah appeared troubled by a slight hand injury.
