Today, the Czechoslovak star expanded on that explanation: He is allergic to grass. ''I sneeze a lot,'' he said. ''I take shots every second day.'' [/B][/I] [B][I]Lendl spoke a few minutes before teeing off for a round of golf at the Westchester Country Club, which has more grass than an infinity of Wimbledons. Lendl proceeded to spend the afternoon walking the 3.6 miles of grass fairways - not including the roughs he also walked - without sneezing or shedding an allergic tear.[/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
