Thu 2 Dec 1954 - The Sydney Morning Herald (NSW : 1842 - 1954)
Page 13 - QUIST'S ADVICE ON HOAD: "MUST LEAVE HIM ALONE"
.QUIST'S ADVICE ON
HOAD: 'MUST
LEAVE HIM ALONE"
]t "Knowing Lewis Hoad as well as I do, my advice to every-
one is-just leave him alone, and he will be all right," said
Adrian Quist last night.
Quist was commenting on
Hoad's form lapse in the
Victorian tennis champion-
ships on Tuesday when he
was taken to five sets by
Swede Sven Davidson.
Down two sets to one, he
staged a remarkable recovery
in the fourth set to beat
Davidson, 6-3, 2-6, 1-6, 6-0,
10-8.
In Melbourne last night
Adrian Quist said:
^-"Lewis Hoad is not sick of
tennis.
"He is human and not yet
üully matured.
"Lately he has been play-
ing poor tennis for a player
of his standard.
"Therefore, quite naturally,
he is worried about his form.
. "Hoad is a player who has
trouble in maintaining concen-
tration for lengthy periods.
"" "Against Davidson in the
quarter-final he became de-
pressed at the standard of
bis game and showed his dis-
gust on several occasion.
"He, like everybody else, re-
alises this was wrong.
""Hoad has a great fighting
heart, which he has proved
.on a number of occasions, but
he is certainly not a tennis
automaton, and I hope he
never becomes one.
'"'He loves the game and
among his team-mates he is
extremely popular.
. "Knowing him as well as I
fio, my advice to everybody is
'-just leave him alone and he
.will be quite all right."
Mother's View
"" In Sydney, Hoad's mother,
Mrs. A. Hoad, said:
*,_ "Lew's concentration has
teen upset because of too
much discipline this year.
"He has not had a chance
to relax since the Davis Cup
last Christmas.
"He was under discipline
during the Davis Cup and
loon after he went into the
Army for National Service
training.
"When he came out he went
on his overseas tennis tour,
'it'dl under discipline.
"And he is still under dis-
cipline.
"He was only 20 last week,
and I feel that a lad of that
age needs more time to relax.
"However, it has been a
surprise to me that his con-
centration has lapsed so much.
'When he was younger
people often told me that
Lew needed to concentrate
more if he wanted to get on.
"Some said we ought to
LEWIS HOAD ,Help
LEWIS HOAD ,
put blinkers on him to keepl
his mind on his job.
"When he came back home
this time-he told me that he
needed plenty more tennis to
reach his peak. He now seems
to be improving.
"He has shown that he can
lift his game when necessary
and 1 am confident that if
Lew is chosen for the Davis
Cup he will play just as well
as last year.
"But to-morrow I'll be keep-
ing my fingers crossed when
he meets Vic Seixas in a semi-
final.
"I know that if Lew wins
this match he will be set for
the challenge round."
Hopman Blamed
An American Associated
Press correspondent in Mel
bourne cabled to New York
last night:
"Most Australian observers
feel Hoad simply resents the
regimentation methods Hop-
man uses to keep the Aussie
players in trim.
"Hopman is a strict discip-
linarian who puts his athletes
through rigid gym training and
keeps close check on their
social activities.
"Bill Talbert, United States
Davis Cup captain, says Hoad
has been on the full tennis
tour since he was 17 years
old.
'He says it is reasonable to
assume he is getting a bit
stale and sick of tennis.
"However, Talbert says: 'We
know he is the type of player
who can rise to the occasion
and we think he will be tough
for the Davis Cup.'
"There are unconfirmed re-
ports that Sir Norman
Brookes, president of the Aus-
tralian Lawn Tennis Associa-
tion, may take measures to
break some of the rigid con-
trols put on Australian tourna-
ment players and allow them
greater freedom.
"The Australian Cup selec-
tors are having a hard time
deciding between Hartwig and
Rosewall for the No. 2 spot.
"Conceivably, if Hoad's
slump continues, the singles
may be nlayed by Hartwig and
Rosewall with Hoad on the
sidelines."
