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...
...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...
...Bombay the Indians did their bit to make the matches interesting. Captain Ramanathan Krishnan inspected the Cricket Club's slick clay court, groaned, "The Yanks will murder us on this," and ordered a new court to be built immediately-out of sand, an old Indian recipe guaranteed to take the bounce out of the ball, to say nothing of the Yanks. On the appointed day, the temperature was in the 90s, flocks of cawing crows hovered low overhead, and Indian fans heckled the Americans' both from the stands and from nearby apartment-house balconies. When California...
...rain-soaked hard courts against India's highly regarded ace, Ramanathan Krishnan, Osuna powdered the baseline with his drives, showed a baffling array of skittering slices; at times, he even employed some gamesmanship of his own, scooting catlike around a backhand to take it on his forehand. Krishnan carried the match to five sets, got a breather when the match was interrupted in the fourth set because of darkness. But that was it. Next day Osuna polished him off, then teamed with No. 2 Mexican Antonio Palafox to win the doubles to lead the jubilant squad...
...Center Court. For all his pique, eighth-seeded Vic Seixas did better than many higher-seeded stars. Sweden's third-seeded Sven Davidson was knocked off by an Australian unknown named Ashley Cooper, 19. Fifth-seeded ex-Champion (1954) Jaroslav Drobny, 34, was whipped by India's Ramanathan Krishnan, 19, an agile giant with a weak serve and badly sprained ankle. Fourth-seeded Budge Patty, 32, fell to an up-and-coming Briton named Bobby Wilson...
