WORLD'S BEST TEN.
Tennis Players Assessed By Wallis Myers. AUSTRALIANS EXCLUDED. (Received 1 p.m.) LONDON, Octolier :}. Reviewing tennis players' performance Wallis Myers, the "Daily Telegraph" critic asserts that the world's first ten players are:—Lacoste, Tilden, Cochet, Borotra, Alonso, Hunter, Lott, Hennessey, Brugnon and Zozeluh (Czechoslovakia).
"This classification is based partly on the results in the Davis Cup as well as the three championships at Wimbledon, Saint Cloud and Forest Hills," he states.
"The Australian leaders are omitted, not because their skill does not entitle them to places but because their return to international tennis has been postponed. "Unless I am greatly mistaken, both Australian men and women will figure very prominently in Europe in 1928."
