JOHN McENROE will find himself paired with the Swede, Nicklas Kulti, instead of Ivan Lendl at next week's Grand Slam Cup in Munich. Lendl has withdrawn from the event, which starts on Tuesday, after deciding not to aggravate a long-standing groin problem, allowing Kulti to take his place in the 16-man field.
