AUSTRALIA SHOULD WIN
Davis Cup Games with N.Z.
ANDREWS BEST IN SINGLES Good Wishes from Mr. Forbes (By Telegraph—Press Assn.-Copyright.) (Received 11, 11.40 a.m.) LONDON, May 10. Referring to the Davis Cup match between Australia and New Zealand Mr 11. Hopman, the "Sun-Herald’s”corres-pondent, says: "I confidently pred'ct a clean sweep for Australia, basing my forecast not only on their great reputation, but because they have revealed considerably greater strength than New Zealand in practice. Andrews is the best New Zealander since the war, but he is now waning.
"Stedman has improved. He has a fast and consistent forehand and a flat, fast service, but he is guileless and has no variety. His backhand is definitely weak. Both Crawford and McGrath should win all the singles untroubled without losing a set, unless they relax on the last day. "Stedman and Malfroy have the greatest chance in the doubles. Both have improved their doubles play.” M r G. W. Forbes, who is spending the week-end as a guest of Lord Moyne, telegraphed the New Zealand tenn s players: "New Zealand wishes you the best of luck in your Davis Cup match with Australia. Kia Ora.”
