Lendl replaces Connors on senior tour

NEW YORK — Ivan Lendl is going to sub for Jimmy Connors on four stops in the upcoming series of matches around the country featuring several former Grand Slam champions.

Andre Agassi, John McEnroe and Pete Sampras also are in the group of competitors scheduled to take part in the four-player mini-tournaments..

Connors is out with a hip injury, so Lendl is planning to compete in Chicago, Detroit, Boston and San Jose, California. Michael Chang will fill in when the series comes to Surprise, Arizona, as well as Tampa, Florida, and Atlanta.

Formerly known as the Champions Series, the PowerShares Series begins Oct. 13 in Arizona, and the final day is Nov. 30 in Anaheim, California.
