HOADS FORM WORST FOR YEARS
Had no answer
toBrom'sqame
SYDNEY — Australian Davis Cup
player Lewis Hoad said last
night that John Bromwich had
'shattered his confidence' at the
White City yesterday.
Thirty-six year-old Bromwich beat
19-year-old Hoad 6-4, 6-3, 7-5 in the
quarter-final of the N.S.W. tennis cham
nionshiDS.
Five thousand specta
tors were shocked at
Bromwich's easy win.
The other quarter-finals
were won by Mervyn Rose,
Ken Rose wall, and Rex Hart
wit;.
Rose, in beating American
Ham Richardson 6-4, 6-4,
7-5, played the best tennis
of the eight players who
participated in the quarter
finals.
Ken Rosewall beat Swed
ish Davis Cup player Len
nart Bergelin 6-4, 6-3, 8-6,
and Rex Hartwig defeated
Don Candy 6-1, 1-6, 6-1, 6-0.
Used wind
In the semi-finals to be
played to-morrow, Bromwicn
will meet Mervyn Rose, and
Ken Rosewall will play
Hariwig.
Hoacs performance was,
perhaps his worst since
reaching the top flight of
world tennis players.
He had no answer co
Bromwich's genius ir- ex
ploiting the wind, and to
the passing shots that left
him standing midcourt, or
the many lobs that floated
over his head.
Bromwich used all the
knowledge of courtcraft he
has attained to leave Hoad
a dispirited player.
Just folded up
Hoad said after the
match: 'I was hitting the
ball all right, but Bromwich
was hitting it better. He
kept on plopping it back in
to my court, and I was un
able to force him into error.
'I just couldn't get on top
in the first two sets, and
when the third started I
knew I had to lift my game
if I was to have any chance
of winning.
'But Bromwich kept on
returning all my shots, and
I Euess I just folded ur-.'
Bromwich took charge
Irom the outset and won the
first set 6-4.
It was obvious from the
start that Bromwich in
tended to concentrate on
ball control and what help
the gusty wind would give
him to keep Hoad on the
baseline.
Hoad's early attempts to
attack the net were smartly
met by passing shots.
i Hoad hesitant
By the time naif a dozen
games had been played in
the second set Hoad had
reached a stage that he did
not know what to do.
He was hesitant to attack
the net and tried to match
it with Bromwich from the
baseline.
Prom there he had no I
charice. i
Bromwich broke through
for a 4-3 Jead and went on
to take the set 6-3.
Hoad had a rough chance
when he took Bromwich's
serve in the ninth game of
the third set and evened the
score at five all.
But Bromwich took the
lead at 6-5 and the match
ended , dismally when at
match point. Hoad served a
double fault.
Rose at top
Rose gave an outstanding
performance of attacking
tennis, completed with crisp
volleying, to beat Richard
son. ?
He also gave one of his
best displays of court de
meanour and temperament.
He was always in com
mand of the play, patient to
wait to put away his 'kills.'
Hartwig looked like crush
ing Candy quickly, when he
overwhelmed his opponent to
win the first set, 6-1.
But he broke two strings in
his racquet in the second set
and worried himself out of
three services changing rac
quets, to lose the set 1-6.
He quickly got on top in
the third set, and Candy
could not cope with his net
attack and volleying.
Rosewall beat Bergelin in
straight sets, but not as con
cisely as Rose defeated Rich
ardson. He made far too
many errors for a player of
his calibre.
Bergelin might have been
a shade unlucky not to win
the third set.
