Becker and Shriver Upset

NEW YORK — Boris Becker was upset by a lightly regarded Australian in straight sets at the U.S. Open today while fourth-seeded Pam Shriver was ousted by the third best tennis player in the Soviet Union.

Becker, a West German seeded No. 5 and still seeking his first U.S. Open title, was given an unexpected exit by Darren Cahill 6-3, 6-3, 6-2. Shriver was eliminated by 20-year-old Leila Meskhi 4-6, 6-1, 6-4.
