...about all. Last week, when the $25,000 New York pro tournament opened in Madison Square Garden, a vast improvement was on hand to finally make volleying under the bright lights at least two-thirds as nice as the grass game at Forest Hills. It is a thin green rubber surface, made by U.S. Rubber, that can be rolled up, stored on cylinders, laid down in 30 minutes flat.

That made the finals a case of the missile v. the computer, the Rocket's violent volleys against the subtle shotmaking of Rosewall. Pinking the sideline markers with precision, forcing Laver to weave back and forth across the green like a wayward Agena, Rosewall pulled off an upset, winding up with a straight set victory of 6-3, 6-3.

Pictures of the docking process (see succeeding pages) reflected Gemini's cautious approach and clearly showed the green lights on the Agena's instrument panel signaling that all was well. Despite their silence, the pictures seemed to give the sound of a solid, satisfactory thump as the two vehicles mated firmly in space...
