"COPY-BOOK" STYLIST
TENNIS CHAMPION'S
WEDDING
New Zealand sportswomen will be interested to hear, of the wedding of Miss Thelma Coyne, New South Wales tennis champion, on January 30. The bridegroom was Mr. Maurice Long, member of a family prominent in Victorian sporting circles. The wedding was solemnised at St. Philip's Church, Sydney. Mrs. Harry Hopman, wife of the captain of the Australian Davis Cup team, went from Melbourne to be matron of honour.
The bride is well known in this country. She visited New Zealand last February with an Australian tennis team and competed with considerable success in the national tennis tournament at Wellington. With Miss Nancy Wynne, she won the doubles title, and with J. Bromwich, the combined doubles. She has been spoken of as a "copy-book" stylist and, although yet only 22 years of age, has held one of the foremost places in Australian tennis for more than six years. Last year, with Miss Wynne, she won the Australian national doubles title for the fifth successive year.
