Tilden v. Borotra
The first is: "Why i 3 it that Tilden is invariably superior to Borotra on grass courts, and yet is his inferior on hard courts?" There are, of course, many players who have excelled on ior pace of the hard courts apparently is better suited to Borotra’s mercurial activities. But so far as he and Tilden are concerned, there is not really much difference between them on either court, as was proved in their recent encounter at Queen’s Club, when the American champion, although engaged in serious preparation for his forthcoming theatrical adventures, and lacking practice, gave a brilliant display, and was only just defeated. And it must be remembered that youth is now on the side of the Frenchman, which is a big asset when allied to superb skill on a faster playing service.
