Pavlova Of Tennis
BALLET FOOTWORK. I met the Pavlova of the tennis courts at the Tally Ho tournament, Birmingham, when she beat a Warwickshire County player, Miss Vaughton, at 6—2, 6—2 (states a correspondent of the News-Chronicle). Senorita Anita Lizana, of Chile, champion of South America, may be the sensation of the year. Her strokes are well ’ produced, but it was her beautiful footwork that impressed me most. She * just dances about the court with no apparent effort. “I am so happy to be in England for the first time,” she told me, “and I am specially glad because it is your King’s Jubilee year. “If I can go far! at Wimbledon I shall be ' the proudest girl in South America. “I have never played on a grass court,and I must try my hardest to get used to them. “I am playing at Bournemouth in the hard court championships. Then I go to Paris for the French hard court championships. “After that the great thrill of my life—Wimbledon! Dare I hope to win it? No, it would be just a foolish dream. But I shall try.”
