He had six overall. Special to The Tribune Martina Navratilova overwhelmed Katerina Maleeva Saturday to take the $50,000 first prize and her sixth straight victory in Tournament the Chrysler-Plymoutof Champions at Lake Buena Vista, Fla. 6-- 0 1 h Navratilova never lost set a against five opponents in cruising to her fifth tournament victory this year. The title match took only 49 minutes. "I don't think I intimidated her," Navratilova said of her younger opponent. "She's a good player for being that young. She's really burst through the gates." Maleeva, ranked No. 33 in the world and unseeded here, won her first service game and never took another, although she came close several times. "I played OK, I think, but she's just excellent," said Maleeva, the middle of three tennis-playin- g sisters from Bulgaria. Her sister Manuela is ranked No. 4 in the world and was seeded second in this tournament to Navratilova. The third sister is 10. Katerina won $23,000 for second place, her biggest payday. Her previous high was $12,000. Navratilova considered this tournament a good tune-ufor the French Open, which also is played on clay. Wearing a floppy white hat and r-frame glasses, she was content to play from the baseline for the most part.

The McEnroe, who has earned more than $7.7 million in his and down career, was trailing on his own serve before rallying to win four straight games and the opening set.
