Page 20 - U.S. PAIR BEATS HOAD-ROSEWALL
U.S. PAIR BEATS
HOAD-ROSEWAtt
LONDON.-Americans Tony Trabert and Vic. Seixaa
won their way to the final of the Wimbledon doubles
yesterday with a five-set victory over the holders of thè
title, Australians Lewis Hoad and Ken Rosewall.
The Americans won 6-3, 7-5
3-6, 4-6, 8-6.
The Australians saved five
match points in each of two
services by Hoad before they
won a match that lacked col
or until the final set.
Hoad and Rosewall played
lethargic tennis for two sets,
but seemed to be getting on
top when Trabert and Seixas
had bad lapses.
There were a few brilliant
rallies, but mostly the match
was won and lost on errors.
Seixas and Trabert play the
winners of the Mulloy-Patty
(Ü.S.) and Rose-Hartwig (Aus
tralia) semi-final.
Trabert's service had all its
old power in the first game.
Hoad's service, equally power
ful, made it one all.
Hoad's net play was erratic,
but Rosewall's tactical play
was interrupted by the arrival
of the Duchess of Kent.
When play resumed volley
errors by the Australians gave
Seixas the game. Rosewall led
40-love on his service, but
Hoad's poor net play - he
missed three volleys - gave
the Americans a chance for a
break-through.
Rosewall lobbed perfectly
and the Australians recovered
to two-all.
The Americans broke
, through Hoad's second service
! for 4-2, but seemed to have
I lost the advantage when Seix
as immediately dropped hl$^
service.
A succession of errors by
the Australians caused
Rosewall to drop his ser
vice and Trabert, the only
player producing his best -»
form, took his service eas
ily for the first set, 6-3.
Both Hoad and Rosewall
played badly in the second
set. Rosewall misjudged his
lobs and Hoad's backhand re
turn of service rarely got over
the net. The Americans made
it their target and won the
game for 5-3. Hoad held his
service and then the Austral
ians took Trabert's service for
the first time to level at five
all.
It was only a brief re
spite for the Australians,
as Rosewall, sadly out of
touch, lost his service for
the third time in the ^.
match and Seixas held his
service for the second set,
7-5.
Hoad won the first game in
the third set to love with two
aces and two smashes. The
Australians then held a point
for two-love on Trabert's serve»,,,
but Seixas, who had regained
some confidence after a poor
start, volleyed winners for
one-all.
Rosewall's play, which seem
ed to have little strength in
the first two sets, showed some
improvement when he took hia #
service and hit an "angled
backhand return of service
winner and a net cord to
give the Australians Seixas*
service for 3-1.
Hoad held his service for 4-1.
Hoad could not understand a
decision by the umpire that he "*
had double hit a volley. Seix
as asked for the point to bs s.
plaved again, but lt made no
difference, as Rosewall could
not return a Trabert first ser
vice.
Games went with service
to 5-3 anrf Hoad made no
mistake with his to give
the Australians their first
set.
Hoad changed service end? in
the fifth set so he and not
Rosewall could have second
service. Trahert, who looked
tired in the fourth set. foun-if'
new strength and his net play
gave the Americans several
winners.
But the Australians
fought back until one vol
ley error and a return of
service from- Trabert, *
which Hoad could not re
turn, gave the Americans
the set. 8-6, and the
match, which lasted just
on two hours.

19 plays "32"
LONDON - Ken Rosewall
(19), already a former Austral
ian champion, will play veter
an Jaroslav Drobny, who ad
mits to 32 but is probably old
er, in the singles final to-day..
Rosewall, the outsider be
fore Wednesday's semi-final,
seems certain to become fav
orite after his inspired five-set
victory over Trabert.
Drobny entered the final for
the third time when he beat
his almost traditional oppon
ent, Budge Patty. Drobny was'
runner-up to American Ted
Schroeder In 1949 and to Aus
tralian Frank Sedgman in 1952.
Drobny has experience in his
favor-Rosewall was only two
years old when Drobny played
in his first Wimbledon tourna
ment in 1937.
Rosewall, at 19, is the young
est Australian to play in %
Wimbledon final. But Wilf
Badley, a British player who
won the title in 1891, was also
19. He was a few months
younger than Rosewall when
he won the title.
