EASY WIN FOR BROMWICH

MATCH AGAINST MEXICAN QUIST OFF COLOUR l. l’A-Uv I2l«*r*lric IVlearaph mb' (Received Ist July, noon.' NEW YORK. 30th June. In the Davis Cup singles match Bromjwich (Australia) defeated Hernandez ! i Mexico) 6-0. 6-0. 6-0 i Hernandez was easily outclassed dur- ' ing the first two sets but rallied in j the third, after which he fought hard in ; four games, which however, he lost | after protracted deuces. He was a tired j man when the match was finished. Quist’s physical condition was apparently a matter of some concern. The whole squad left the Country Club for Chapultepec still not knowing whether he could play. Hopman is intending to give him a light workout before deciding. There had been a drizzle early in the morning but the courts dried out making play possible. Hopman ordered a physician to examine Quist at lunch time after which he announced that he would probably play. An earlier message concerning Quist's health stated that the Australian manager, H. Hopman. said: “We have an even chance of lifting the cup provided we arrive in the challenge round fit and well. Two years ago when Quist and McGrath were on the sick list we were deprived of our chance, and Quist’s being ofE-colour brings back our experience in 1937 too sharply to allow us to feel as confident as we did when we left Australia.”
