...layoff brought his game back to its peak. Dick whipped U.S. Champion Larsen (6-1, 6-4, 6-4) in the quarterfinals. But his big test did not come until his semi-final match with dogged Herb Flam, another fighter and a player who relies on agility and retrieving rather than power. In twelve meetings, Savitt had never beaten Flam. When Flam won the first set, 6-1, it looked like the same old story. The second set was a backbreaker, 15-13, and Savitt won it after trailing 1-5. After that it was easy...
While Savitt and Trabert were taking their header at Orange, Art Larsen and Herb Flam sailed through their singles matches against the Mexican Davis Cup team at the Westchester Country Club in Rye, N.Y. Then the doubles team of Flam & Vic Seixas polished off Mexico's brother combination of Armando & Rolando Vega to put the U.S. into the American zone finals against Canada...
Last week Trabert got another trophy and looked more impressive than ever as he whipped the U.S.'s No. 2 player, Herb Flam, 6-2, 10-8, 5-7, 6-3, in the Southampton final. This week Tony is seeded No. 2 in the Eastern Grass Court championships at Orange, N.J. to meet top-seeded Dick Savitt, Wimbledon champion...

Nakano did have Savitt on the run (five set points) in the first set, finally dropped it 7-5, then stuck grimly to the base line while Savitt pounded out the next two sets, 6-3, 6-2. Young (22) Herb Flam, the U.S.'s second-ranking player and a tireless retriever, beat the Japanese champion, Jiro Kumamaru, at his own game, the base-line duel. Flam, too, had a tough time in the first set, but won it 7-5. Playing more aggressively against his 29-year-old rival, Flam whipped...
Ready to Score. But last week at Wimbledon, Savitt was at the top of his form, with everything under control. He swept Art Larsen in straight sets, 6-1, 6-4, 6-4. In the semifinals he met his old nemesis, Herb Flam, who had beaten him twelve times (but not this time, though the match went to five sets). In the finals, Savitt met Australia's McGregor again. Savitt knew how to play McGregor: keep him away from the net, but avoid lobs, which McGregor usually kills with savage precision...
