Lendl won’t appeal
NZPA-AAP Melbourne The Czech tennis star, Ivan Lendl, will not appeal over fines totalling sAustlBso ($2220) imposed on him at the Australian Open at Kooyong. Lendl’s manager, ProServ Inc. has notified the Men’s International Professional Tennis Council of his decision.
A representative of M.I.P.T.C. said yesterday that Lendl would be suspended from taking part in all M.I.P.T.C. sanctioned events
for 21 days beginning next Monday. Lendl, the top seed for the Ford Australian Open, has been fined on three separate occasions during the two-week tournament.
The first, of sAustsoo ($600), was for an audible obscenity, followed by sAust3so ($420) for ball abuse and finally sAustlooo ($1200) earlier this week for wearing an oversize commercial identification on his clothing on court.
