Leconte needed just 62 minutes to oust Lendl, the top seed in thsi unique championsionly field at Forest Hill, 6-2, 6-3.

McEnroe breezed to victory in 67 minutes, crushing Jan Gunnarson of Sweden, 6-1, 6-2. The New York left-hander is going after his first title on the Har-Tru courts at Forest Hills, his worst surface.

In the day's second upset, unseeded Brad Gilbert eliminated fourth-seeded Kevin Curren of South Africa 6-4, 6-4. Gilbert, who will face No. 5 Vitas Gerulaitis in the quarterfinals, broke Curren's service in the 10th games of both sets to capture the victory.
