...history of tennis. Long famed as a Giant Killer, Tumblebug Grant, who wears shorts to avoid wear & tear on his trouser knees, will be watched by the Davis Cup Committee more closely than ever this year. Among the tennis giants he has harassed into submission are Jack Crawford, Adrian Quist and Jack Bromwich, the three formidable Australians who (unless they lose the Interzone final) will face the U. S. team in the Davis Cup challenge round at Philadelphia on September...
...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. S.-English-French-Australian Champion Donald Budge; his doubles partner, Gene Mako; and 20-year-old Robert Riggs, the Los Angeles "quickie" who in two years had jumped from the municipal tennis courts...
When, in the opening match of the series, cocky Robert Riggs turned himself into an exclamation point by beating seasoned Adrian Quist (4-6, 6-0, 8-6, 6-1), experts agreed that Australia had little chance of winning the Cup.

Budge beat both Quist and Bromwich in routine fashion, clinched the series before the concluding match, lost by Riggs to Bromwich...

Last week, while Don Budge was further demonstrating his invincibility by breezing through the Newport Invitation tournament in his first appearance in singles competition on U. S. courts this summer, the Australian Davis Cuppers (Quist & Bromwich) were at Longwood-proving their proficiency by taking all five matches from the German team of Henner Henkel & Georg von Metaxa (an Austrian acquired by anschluss to replace imprisoned Baron Gottfried von Cramm). After losing their third straight match, the German team received a cable from the German Tennis Federation "requesting" them to discontinue further competition in the U. S., return home...
