“Buster” Andrews May be Back for N.Z. Tennis Championships in 1930

rpHERE is just a chance that E, D. Andrews, who has been in England for a couple of summers, will be returning to New Zealand in tij-ne to take part in the 1930 New Zealand tennis championships. According to a letter received in Wellington from the New Zealand player, he has abandoned the idea of going to the United States with the combined Varsity team, and will be remaining in England for the coming summer with the idea of competing at the All England championships at Wimbledon. He has come down from Cambridge and is now resident in London, where he will be remaining until the proposed time of his departure for New Zealand in October or November.

Andrews’s success in defeating Francis Hunter in the first round of the championships at Wimbledon last year has decided him to give it another go. “I am looking forward to another Wimbledon very much,” he says. “By the time the tournament commences I should be in good training, which one has to be for such strenuous matches. In fact, it is the only way.”

Should Andrews return home- in time to contest the New Zealand singles, that contest should be doubly interesting, as he has undoubtedly improved his tennis very considerably from when he was the New Zealand champion—but so have several New Zealanders who have not had the opportunity of playing at Wimbledon and at the historic tournaments of Great Britain.
