Dream draw
PA Wellington “It is a dream draw for New Zealand,” the executive president of the New Zealand Lawn Tennis Association. Mr lan Wells, said yesterday.
“A European nation for the first round, then the starstudded young Swedish team, led this year by Mats Wilander, but possibly having the services next year of Bjorn Borg, then whoever wins of the United States and Argentina.
"We could not be more pleased. New Zealand will see some of the greatest players in the world, in New Zealand, next year.”
Mr Wells said the venue for the first tie on March 4-6, was likely to be Christchurch, but this would not be confirmed until after discussions with Canterburyofficials. He said it would definitely be played on grass. “The July tie against Sweden will be played indoors but no venue will be disclosed until early 1983.”
