Hello. Today on Litter Lesson, we're staying at home.
So, let's see what we can do to keep things nice and clean where you live.
Here's a bin that hasn't got the lid on properly.
Oh, dear. Here comes a doggy.
What's he doing?
Look, he's getting the food scraps.
What a naughty dog.
What a mess he's making.
But what happens when the bin has a nice, tight lid?
Look, he can't spill it.
Go, hungry doggy.
Now let's take some rubbish to the tip.
Away we go.
Oh, dear. Things are falling off.
What can we do?
I know. Cover the trailer.
Now the rubbish can't fall out.
It's so simple to keep things clean.
Leave the room, please, if your rubbish needs checking.
No matter how simple you make the lesson, some people just never learn.
This week on Willisie, the boarding mistress of a country hostel accused of molesting girls' students.
I have been accused of being a lesbian, and that I will not take.
I've never even had the inclination.
While fighting to clear her name, she admits that her career with children is probably over.
Always that suspicion will hang on.
It's very, very easy to get a label.
It's damn hard to get rid of one.
Willisie, following national My News at Six.
The U.S. Open tennis telecasts brought to you by NEC Computers, Communications and Home Entertainment, Metacopiers and Toyota.
Hello, I'm Patrick Lindsay.
Welcome to Nine's Wide World of Sports exclusive coverage of Day Six of the 1987 U.S. Open Tennis Championships.
Coming to you this morning, live from Flushing Meadow, New York.
Yesterday, we saw John McEnroe back to his snarling best against Bobo Zivijinovic.
Today, defending champion Ivan Lendl, Chris Evett, Steffi Lloyd, all scheduled to play in what's already turning into an enthralling tournament.
Let's cross without further delay to New York, where your host is Brent Musburger.
On the first day of the U.S. Open Tennis Championships, good old boy from North Carolina had Boris Becker looking at a fast ticket to Germany.
The number four seed had to go five sets to save his skin against Tim Wilkerson.
On the next day, the Wimbledon champion did get his ticket hunched for home.
Pat Cash is heading for Australia after a loss to Peter Lundgren.
And yesterday saw the best drama of all.
John McEnroe fought both his temper and the big serve of Yugoslavia's Slobodan Zivijinovic.
It took five sets for McEnroe to pull his act together.
And he did. And he won.
Three sets to two. Six-five. Five-seven. Six-seven. Six-four. Six-three.
It's been that kind of tournament. It seems that it always is.
This is the city. New York, New York.
And this is the tennis tournament it calls its own. The U.S. Open, where a decade of memories comes to life.
The tennis world has come to Flushing Meadow. It's a grand slam tournament in a uniquely urban environment.
The American champions of yesterday are here looking to recapture the lost bloom of their youth.
But they have given way to a generation of foreign-born stars who have come once again to conquer the courts of New York City.
CBS Sports welcomes you to day six of the United States Open Tennis Championships.
As we continue our live Labor Day weekend coverage, and today we'll wrap up the third round of play.
By day's end, we will have our round of 16, that is, weather permitting.
The forecast today calls for a chance of rain here in New York.
Good afternoon, everybody. I'm Brent Musburger. It is Labor Day Sunday at the U.S. Open.
And after yesterday's fireworks by John McEnroe, it seems almost quiet at the National Tennis Center right now.
Already this morning, Pam Shriver, the woman's fifth seed who has been red hot this summer, advanced into the sweet 16 with a straight-set victory over Italy's Laura Gellarsa.
Now, we have a full slate of third-round action on tap for you in the upcoming five and a half hours.
And for more about the matchups ahead, let's go to the men and women who will call the action today.
Well, Brent, we're looking down at the stadium at the USTA's National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadow, New York.
Good afternoon. I'm Pat Summerall with Mary Carillo and Tony Trabert.
Here are the matches we'll be looking at in the stadium this afternoon.
First of all, Chris Everett plays Natalia Zvereva of the Soviet Union.
After that, number one seed, Stephie Graff against Patricia Tarabini.
What about those two matches?
Well, the Chris Everett-Zvereva match will be very interesting.
Zvereva is a very tough junior, and the funny thing about that is that 13 years ago, back in 1974, Olga Morozova, the great Russian player, and Chris were talking about how long they'd both be playing.
And Olga said, and Chris both agreed, just a few more years.
Well, 13 years later, Morozova coaches Natalia Zvereva, and she plays Chrissy today.
She's been around that long. She faces a tough opponent, but she should win.
What about the Graff match?
The Graff-Tarabini match should be fun to watch because Tarabini's a very flashy player from Argentina, but Graff should handle her pretty easily.
After that is over, the featured men's match will be between number two seed, Stefan Edberg and Kelly Everendon.
And Tony Trabert, what about that match?
Well, Pat, Kelly Everendon is a New Zealander. He's very quick. He has good ground strokes.
But I'm afraid he's going to be over mass against Stefan Edberg, the number two seed here, who's come in here very confidently.
His draw on his half has opened up beautifully for him, and I just think he's playing well.
He's very confident, and I would expect Stefan Edberg to win fairly handily.
Well, that's what will take place in the stadium. Now let's check out the grandstand.
Some players love it. Some players hate it. It's immediately adjacent to the stadium court.
The fans are right on top of the players, and John Newcomb, that sometimes can be a house of horrors when the upsets take place over there.
Let's take a look at the matchups we have in the grandstand court today.
Number three seed in Montz-Veelander takes on unseeded Lebor Pimec.
That will be followed by Johan Kreek against Ramish Krishnan.
A couple of speedsters there, and what do you think of these two matches?
Well, don't count Mats Vilander out for the whole tournament, Tim.
He can play really well on this surface. He's won on this surface several times before.
So he's a chance for the tournament, and the other match between Kreek and Krishnan, that's going to be a very exciting one.
Kreek all over the court. You never know what he's going to do, and Krishnan, he's a master of stroke.
He's beautiful to watch when he's in top form. That will be a good, exciting match.
Well, later in the day, it should be a fun women's doubles match.
Martina Navratilova, Pam Schreiber, the top seeds in the women's doubles, will take on Chris Eber.
Doesn't play a lot of doubles, and her partner will be Gigi Fernandez. So it should be fun.
Back to you, Brent.
Alright, Tim, and in addition, Barry McKay and I will cover the action outside.
Court 16, for example, will feature the seventh seed, Zena Garrison, taking on Katarina Maleva.
And the Swedish upset specialist, Jonas B. Svensson, will take on Jaime Izaga Perú, for a possible right to meet Stefan Edberg next.
Right now, let's go live to the grandstand, Tim Ryan and John Newcomb. Tim?
Alright, Brent Matz, Fielander, serving for the match against Libor Pimec, an unseated player from Mostrava, Czechoslovakia.
And it's been a stroll in the park for the number three seed, Fielander, to this point.
Advantage, Fielander, and a match point.
Tim, I have to give the award to Pimec for the best grunder of the tournament. He grunts on every shot he hits.
Unfortunately for him, most of the shots aren't as effective as his grunt has been against Fielander.
And that's it. Matz Fielander has advanced with a 6-2, 6-love, and 6-1 victory over Libor Pimec.
Up, Czechoslovakia, let's return him out of range.
Alright, Tim, and remember, John Newcomb has just told us, keep an eye on Fielander. This might be his year at the U.S. Open.
Now, also today, we're going to have our roving reporters, Jim Nance and Ann Butler, covering courtside and throughout the National Tennis Center complex.
Also today, we'll look back at yesterday's theatrical John McEnroe-Bobo Zivaginovich match, some of which earned McEnroe $17,500 in fines and a possible two-month suspension pending appeal.
Next here at the Open for McEnroe will be a match tomorrow on CBS against the ninth seed, Andres Gomez of Ecuador. Gomez needed five sets to pass Muster of Austria.
Also advancing last night, number four seed Boris Becker, who needed four sets to dispose of English qualifier Andrew Castle.
And next for Boris is the thirteenth seed, Brad Gilbert. Defending champion Yvonne Lindell steamrolled Jim Pugh last night.
The big Czech has yet to drop a set here at the Open as he sets out to win back-to-back titles.
Next for Yvonne is Andres Yared in a matchup of top and bottom seeds. Yared's countrywoman, Katarina Lindfist, also won last night.
She'll challenge Martina Navratilova tomorrow.
Coming up, an afternoon of live tennis action as the 1987 United States Open tennis championships continue here on CBS.
If you know the name META, you'll know we make nothing else but outstanding, state-of-the-art copiers.
Unlike our competitors, META, all we make are great copiers.
Andres Yared's countrywoman, Katarina Lindfist, also won last night.
This is the new Nikon F401 SLR. Remarkable.
Because for the first time, an SLR camera actually controls exposure, focus and built-in flash in any lighting conditions automatically.
So to take a perfect picture, all you need to do is watch the birdie.
The Nikon F401, fully automatic. PSLR, of all. Any galore.

Well, Maléva of Bulgaria. And it would take place in this part of the draw.
Chris Everett, who is favored to advance, would play the winner here.
And let's bring in Barry McKay right now, who's with me, and get an update on the Maléva-Fernandez match on Court 16.
Good match going on, Brett. Maléva won the first set 6-2 and then got killed in the second set 6-0 by young Mary Jo Fernandez.
This is really a tight contest out here. Fernandez serving.
It's 3-4, on serve here in the third set. This is Mary Jo Fernandez from Miami, born in the Dominican Republic.
Great forehand up the line. And Willa Maléva, seated number 10th from Sofia, Bulgaria, has beaten Chris Everett, Sukova, and Manlikova. She's tough.
Great athletic talent bred down in the Dominican. We had at least a half dozen baseball players in the All-Star game.
And I know that their team from the Lilley Champions went all the way to the World Series last week over at Williamsport.
Now, Chris Everett has won the first set. Actually, she shut out the young Soviet player, Surova, and remember that Chris would advance and play the winner of this match next.
So that's why we're focusing on this activity on Court 16.
Mary Jo in trouble now, down low 30. A lot of pressure on the youngster.
Oh, that's tough. Maléva is not going to come to net. We all know that. She's a great baseliner.
And she will bother Fernandez if Mary Jo likes to come in on bad shots like that last one.
Maléva's sister, Katarina Maléva, will be taking on Zena Garrison right here on Court 16 after this match.
Mary Jo, the youngest player to ever play in the U.S. Open.
Finally wins a point on her own serve. Totally different atmosphere out here on 16, Brent. You can see there's no seats behind the court, which is a good background.
Players like this court.
Talk about a hot Dominican. That was a, looked like a strike right down the sideline.
One Marisol would have been proud of that one.
She's got a chance to get back to deuce. 30-40.
Oh, she goes for the winner. Misses, hits the tape. And so Maléva, one game away from pulling this match out.
A lot of Mary Jo routers and the fans out here on Court 16. I think there's a lot of United States routers out here, period.
Maléva trying to drop shot from the baseline. Dangerous shot there.
It's the top of the net and drops back on Fernandez's side.
Right here, the experience will tell Brent because Maléva has been in situations like this a lot more often than Mary Jo Fernandez.
Mary, does Bulgaria have the sort of tennis program that they have in Czechoslovakia? I think it's quite as good as Czechoslovakia. Those guys have really put it together.
Fernandez trying a little too much on that forehand. You've got a player like Maléva though who hits the ball back so often and there's a tendency to over hit just slightly, trying to make the shot from the back court.
Could be that the pressure got to Mary Jo. She was up 3-1 in this set after shutting Maléva out in the second set and she hasn't been able to win a game since.
She's got to be thinking about that right now. You come back and win a set 6 love, your confidence level goes way up and she had a chance to pull a major upset out here on 16.
Why don't they have more attacking players in women's tennis as we watch these two stick back at the base line?
I think what happens Brent, they start the game very early and you really don't have enough strength at ages 4, 5 and 6. Believe it or not Mary Jo Fernandez started playing tennis at age 3. She barely compared to the racket let alone come to net and try and volley. So I think a lot of the young women players start from the baseline and they get so good at it that they stay back there.
It's so difficult when they take on someone like Martina who's all over the court.
Maléva wins it out on court seat. 3 sets, 6-3 in the third set.
So Maléva could be taking on Chris Everett next as we check in on that draw. This is the quarter and it would look this way. And when we continue with our live coverage here we'll go out to the stadium with Pat Somerall and we'll see how Chris Everett is making out against the young star from the Soviet Union. That's coming up.
Big time champions always have something extra. Take the NEC 66cm remote controlled stereo TV. A bigger screen means extra impact. It knocks the competition flat. Another top performer from NEC.
This is a better vinyl tile underlay and this is Terry Hammond. Terry, backed by the resources of the James Hardy Industries Group, made this fibre cement underlay to be immune to damage from rising damp and moisture which a kitchen floor experiences over the years.
An underlay that also solves the problems of peeking and ridging in tile floors. Not surprisingly, orders for Terry's underlay are flooding in. James Hardy Industries, the name behind the names, like Terry Hammond.

Tuesday, they're back. Who are you? Who do you think I am?
Television's most talked about couple in a magic new series. God damn. Why aren't you language? Remember who's sponsoring this trip? Will they get together? Is that my fate? Do I marry David? Check out the competition. That's Cheryl Teague.
Will you excuse us please? We'd like to get some food so we'll have enough strength to make babies later. New trends, familiar faces. Don't I know you from somewhere?

Stadium court at the USTA's National Tennis Center. I'm Pat Summerall with Mary Carrillo and Tony Trabert. Chris Ebert-Lloyd against Natalia Zvereva. She's had things pretty much her own way.
Right from the very beginning. Six love in the first, one love in the second. Ebert.
That's one of the first game points that Zvereva has had against Chris.
I think Mary that almost everyone thought that Chris Ebert would have more of a problem than she has had.
You're right about that. Natalia Zvereva, the 17-year-old from Russia, is one of the hottest young prospects on the women's tour.
But this is her first US Open, first time she's ever played in the stadium. She's playing against her idol and she just can't seem to get the bubbles out of her blood.
She's got the advantage, Ebert.
Probably the most difficult person she could play in the stadium court would be someone as consistent as Chris.
See how Chris got there. She's lost one game in each match thus far. She's not lost a game here.
And she's just so consistent and so steady. And right now Natalia has nothing to hurt her with.
Has to be extremely nervous. But also this is a marvelous experience. That's how she got here, defeating Paradis of France in the first round and Lusmayli of Austria in the second round.
That's the only double served by Chris in this match.
Oh, that's a nice little shot from Natalia Zvereva. Top junior in the world. This year she's won the Italian Junior title, the French, the Wimbledon.
That's for the second year in a row and she's entered here, the US Open in the juniors, seated number one.
She's the only player this year who's got a chance of winning the Grand Slam, though it would be a junior slam.
Stefan Edberg did that as well once a couple of years back.
Zvereva beat Chris, the point performer in a drop shot. And very often Chris tries to go right back and beat her opponent with the same thing.
But Natalia was very quick to this ball and found the court. That should help her situation a little bit.
One all on the second now. As you analyze her game, Mary, she hits the ball hard, she covers the court very well obviously.
Where would her weakness be if she had one? Oh, her net game. Absolutely.
Natalia and her partner played against Pam Schreiber and Martina Navratilova in doubles the other day.
And Martina said the same thing. She's just got to get her net game going.
Then she'll be a very complete player. Very poised young player.
And she's absolutely enchanting. At Wimbledon this year, she went into the locker room and in her very halting English,
tried so hard to accommodate the reporters that when it was all over they gave her a standing ovation.
A great story about her coach, who is Chris Everett, ex-doubles partner.
Any change in strategy that you see forthcoming, Tony?
Well, she's outgunned the young Russian gal, but this is a marvelous experience for her.
I remember personally walking out to center courts like this and you could hardly breathe.
You're so nervous. You've read about, you've heard about, you're playing one of the all-time greats.
And she's overwhelmed in awe. But this will help her in the future.
30-all.
Nothing like being out there.
You can practice all you want, but until you get out there and go through what you have to go through
with all those people looking at you, she knows she's on television.
It's a tough assignment. It made me smile when you're talking about what does she have to do to improve her game.
And you say, oh gosh, you've got to learn to volley.
The girl is 16 years old, you know, has a lot of time.
And she's this good already. I think it's remarkable.
40-30.
She's getting a little bit more length on her shots.
That first set she was hitting real short, which is a sign of nerves.
I believe when she played Sabatini-Wimbledon, she lost the first set, 6-11, 6-1.
Couldn't hit a ball on the court. Everybody touted her very highly.
Then she played a very nice match.
Got rid of the jitters and settled down a little bit.
Katie Moriba, she leads it to one.
Ball change.
All new wagon taking the country by storm.
