...pairings for the opening singles matches-the U.S.'s Jake Kramer v. Australia's Dinny Pails, the U.S.'s Ted Schroeder v. Australia's Jack Bromwich-were the same as for last December's first day in Melbourne. Champion Kramer set right to work to show that the 5-0 sweep at Melbourne was no fluke. Pails is a picture player with rhythmic, flowing ground strokes; but against Kramer's almost flawless all-court attack, he could offer only token resistance and shake his curly head sadly.

They, too, had a lot to do. For their final five days of intensive practice, they engaged a sparring partner-U.S. Professional Frank Kovacs, the champion screwball of all tennis players.

Even though he made winning shots look difficult where Kramer made them look easy, it was Schroeder who carried the load with his smashing net game. That clinched the Cup for the U.S., for the first time since 1938. Another...
...final two cup matches, which didn't matter, were won by U.S. second-stringer Gardnar Mulloy (over Pails, 6-3, 6-3, 6-4) and Kramer (over Bromwich, 8-6, 6-4, 6-4). It was the first Davis Cup sweep since 1935, when the English trounced the U.S. team...
