Lendl, Pernfors in Tennis Finals

Top-seeded Ivan Lendl and unseeded Mikael Pernfors reached Sunday’s men’s championship tennis match of the French Open today with victories as different as the conditions in which they were played.

Lendl, of Czechoslovakia, breezed past Johan Kriek 6-2, 6-1, 6-0, in a contest the beaten American called a “disaster.” Pernfors, a Swede who won NCAA championships at the University of Georgia the last two years, needed all of his game to beat eighth-seeded Henri Leconte of France 2-6, 7-5, 7-6, 6-3 in a match twice interrupted by rain.
