• th. last game with the score at 30-30 lR Avala served a ball that was inches out but which was called in. Kidsen said these incidents made him and at times he was concentratfnj more on the umpire than on his pl 2l. f OU r other seeded men won their ♦hirrt-round games—Hoad. Rosewall, and RichaS in straight sets. But Herb Km (United States), forced his fellow American. Vic Seixas, seeded eighth, to f °Th?scores: Lew Hoad (Australia) beat j rjeitz (United States), 6-3, 6-2. 6-0: v. n Rosewall (Australia) beat O. Sirola HtJlv) 7-5. 6-4, 9-7: H. Richardson (United States) beat T. Ulrich (Denmark) 6-4. 10-8. 6-3; Vic Seixas (United States) beat Herb Flam (United States), 4-5 6-1. 6-1. 10-8. Hoad had little trouble with the American, John Fleitz. and he played as if he could win any time he wanted

Hoad's Lack of Interest Later he showed he was right, but his apparent lack of interest early in the match did not please the spectators. He complained loudly several times when some of his shots went out. but when he really got to work and exploited his powerful cross-court shots and tosses, he had the American beaten. Rosewall played O. Sirola. of Italy, a player much more iormidable in size than in ability. At the start of the match Rosewall found difficulty in passing the 6ft 7in Italian at the net, but later he kept him back with well-controlled volleys and by playing to Sirola’s weakground shots which require bending—he soon had the Italian fighting to avoid defeat.
