THE DAVIS CUP
PROSPECTS OF AUSTRALIA ADRIAN QUIST OPTIMISTIC "I am more confident than ever before that Australia can win the Davis Cup in 1939." With these words Adrian Quist summed up his reactions to his experiences in the New South Wales championships in the singles final, in which he was defeated in straight sets by John Bronnvich. "I know that I am playing good tennis," he continued. "1 am hitting the ball as well as I have been for some time. Yet Bromwich had my measure from the start. I forced many games to deuce, but 1 never won them. He was far too good. "Knowing the opposition that awaits us overseas, and knowing just how well John can play now, I am more than hopeful that we will win the Davis Clip. I cannot see United States retaining the cup, arid expect our stoutest opposition to come before the challenge round is reached, possibly from Japan."
