When Australia's Vivian McGrath appeared on the international tennis scene four years ago, experts could not have been more astonished had he been a kangaroo. For all backhand shots McGrath held his racket with both hands. For a first-class tennist to do such a thing was so unthinkable that tennis experts, instead of trying to explain it, simply regarded McGrath as an antipodean freak. Last week this point of view was confirmed when in Mexico City an Australian team played Mexico in the first round of the Davis Cup tournament. On the team was another Australian...
...freak tennis player, Australia's John Bromwich (pronounced Brumage) makes McGrath's methods look banal. He is ambidextrous. He serves with his right hand, switches to his left for shots on that side, plays shots on his right side with both hands (see cut). Like 21-year-old McGrath, Bromwich is not only a freak but a prodigy. He was just 16 when he won the South Australian championship two years ago, beating Adrian Quist and Don Turnbull, seasoned Australian internationalists. In Mexico City last week Bromwich's Davis Cup debut was a severe thrashing for Mexico...

...occurred. Next day, Crawford beat Allison 4-6, 6-3, 4-6, 6-2, 6-2, While they played their match, Quist was lying down in his room in the clubhouse listening to the radio broadcast, confident that since Australia had won the series, not he but Alternate Vivian McGrath would be sent to the court to play against Budge. Bundled out to face Budge himself after a 10 min. delay, he played listlessly, was trounced 6-2, 6-2, 6-4. But it was too late to matter, and U. S. excitement about the Davis Cup was over until...
