Neither of India's two challengers, Ramanathan Krishnan and Jaideep Mukherjea, had ever won a major tournament; and neither was ranked. Krishnan and Mukherjea had reached the Challenge Round by beating a couple of similarly unranked Brazilians-who had upset a heavily favored U.S. squad...
Maybe so. But in tennis, Australia springs eternal. Displaying the form that has won him two Wimbledon titles, four Australian championships, a U.S. and a French championship in the last four years, Emerson swept both of his singles matches in straight sets-polishing off Mukherjea in 66 min., Krishnan in 95 min. Fred Stolle's "big" serve, the biggest in the amateur game, did the rest. Aceing Krishnan twelve times and Mukherjea 20 times, Stolle won the other two singles matches to give the Davis Cup to Australia for the 21st time and the 14th in the last...
...India: the Davis Cup interzone finals, beating Brazil, 3-2, at Calcutta's South Club. After beating the U.S. last month, Brazil's Edison Mandarine, 25, and Thomaz Koch, 21, might have expected to wipe up the court with the Indians. That expectation reckoned without Ramanathan Krishnan, 29. Krishnan won one singles match from Mandarine, teamed with Jaideep Mukherjea to take the doubles, and wrapped it up in a marathon match against Koch 3-6, 6-4, 10-12, 7-5, 6-2. That gives India the honor of challenging Australia on Dec. 26-and then returning home...
...erected. As Vice President Hubert Humphrey, Soviet Premier Kosygin and scores of other foreign dignitaries watched, the priests sprinkled Shastri with rose petals and stacked sandalwood logs across his white-shrouded body. A torch of thin twigs was handed to Shastri's eldest son, 32-year-old Hari Krishnan. According to custom, he walked three times around his father's body, then put the flame to the pyre. Priests poured on ghee and incense. Within seconds, the flames erupted, illuminating the wisp of white under the logs. Soon all was ashes...
India won the skirmish, but the U.S. won the war. Ralston, the Peck's Bad Boy of tennis, for once kept his temper under control, beat Krishnan at his own sandy game, with short volleys and dinky drop shots that won in straight sets, 6-4, 6-1, 13-11. Texas' Chuck McKinley, mounting the same kind of whirlwind attack that earned him the Wimbledon championship, needed only 72 minutes to dispose of India's Permjit Lall, 6-4, 6-3, 6-0. Ralston and McKinley then won the doubles to give...
