...three weeks ago with three of this season's foreign tennis crowns (Australian, French, English) on his carroty head, he turned his thoughts to defense of the Davis Cup, scheduled for Labor Day weekend at Germantown, Pa. "If Australia beats Germany in the interzone final, I figure Adrian Quist and John Bromwich might be good for one victory apiece in the challenge round against us," said...
...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. But while Budge in his semifinal was easily upsetting Australia's No. i Adrian Quist (6-4, 6-2, 8-6), von Cramm made the mistake of losing to his opponent, Australia's No. 3 Jack Bromwich...
Last week-end the court of claims met at Forest Hills, L. I. Pretender Crawford's cohorts were weakened by an attack of intestinal flu which had laid low Adrian Quist, and an infected right hand which hampered Vivian McGrath, the curly-haired eccentric who plays a two-fisted backhand.

He was just 16 when he won the South Australian championship two years ago, beating Adrian Quist and Don Turnbull, seasoned Australian internationalists.

Four other victories, in which his teammates (McGrath, Quist, Crawford) lost only one set, put Australia in the second...
Turning point came next day, when Budge & Mako were leading Quist & Crawford two sets to one. At 4-5 and 15-30 on Quist's serve, Crawford sent a short lob into centre court. Instead of smashing it, Mako put it into the net. Quist & Crawford then pulled out the set. Budge & Mako got a lead of 4-1 in the fifth set. When Crawford & Quist managed to win this one also, and with it the match, 4-6, 2-6, 6-4, 7-5, 6-4, the result of the American Zone final, barring miracles, was certain...
