STARS OF TENNIS ARENA
Commenting on the decision of the Australians to give Wimbledon a miss this year, a writer in a London paper says:—Think of all the great players who will not b'e there I Budge, von Cramm, Perry, Vines . . . and now those star Australian performers, Adrian Quist and John Bromwich, are leaving us out. Bromwich, the man who changes his racquet from hand to hand and turns every shot into a forehand stroke, is generally voted the best amateur in the world now that Budge has joined the money players. Wimbledon is going to be poorer without him; in fact, the men stars are dwindling so rapidly that the meeting is due for a lean year if the girls do not hold the interest.
