...team from Down Under was a twosome: 25-year-old Adrian Quist, a fifth year Davis Cupper rated by many as the world's No. 2 amateur; and 19-year-old John Bromwich, a sophomore who caused a sensation in international tennis last year with his either-handed, both-handed racket grip. On the U. S. side was the world's No. 1 amateur, U.

...Baron von Cramm had reached the semi-finals too. Prospects were good for another pull-devil-pull-baker Budge-von Cramm final, as dramatic as the ones at Wimbledon and Forest Hills last summer.
