DAVIS CUP FORM
Top Players Beaten
(N.Z. Press Assn. —Copyright) MELBOURNE.
Disappointing form by Australian tennis stars in the recent Victorian and South Australian championship finals is not expected to upset selectors of the Davis Cup team. The squad is now in training to defend the trophy against India at Melbourne next Monday. It was planned that R. Emerson and F. S. Stolle would be the singles players and J. D. Newcombe and A. D. Roche would play the doubles.
But during the last week: Newcombe has beaten both
Emerson and Stolle; Stolle, generally regarded as the No. 1 Australian, also lost to Emerson; Newcombe and Roche have lost to W. W. Bowery and O. K. Davidson, who are not in the cup team, and to Emerson and Stolle.
