...first two singles were a standoff. Ralston defeated Australia's John Newcombe, 19, in five sets, and McKinley lost in four to Roy Emerson, 27, rated No. 1 in the world. But then came the doubles, and the U.S. team victimized Neale Fraser, 30, who had been called out of retirement to pair with Emerson.

Whipple, Henry Giles, John G. Saxe and a shelfful of others are wholly forgotten. Only Thoreau...
...down in Australia, the world's reigning tennis champions are preparing an ambush for the invading Americans. Roy Emerson, no long stale, and Ken Fletcher, no longer inexperienced, are backed up by Fred Stolle, whose flame-thrower serve took him to the Wimbledon final against McKinley In addition, there is talk of reactivating Neale Fraser, whose canny court sense helped Australia hold the Davis Cup for five years Fraser is still only 29, and he held every major tennis title at some time before retiring early last year...
