Sparkling performance
NZPA London Evonne Cawley gave notice of her Wimbledon intentions when she turned on a sparkling performance to retain the women’s singles title in the Kentish Times grass court tennis tournament at Beckenham, London yesterday. The 27-year-old Australian gave a sharp lesson to a
Wimbledon pretender, Pam Shriver, and outplayed the 16-year-Old American to win 6-3, 6-2, in 62 minutes.
The difference between the two players was even more marked than the score suggested for had Mrs Cawley, the Wimbledon champion in 1971, taken all her chances, the victory would have been quicker and more emphatic.
