JOAN HARTIGAN CREATES SENSATION
LAST FRENCHMAN BEATEN
(By A. WALLIS MYERS)
THE King and Queen, who were applauded warmly as they entered the Committee Box, saw the last eights come into line at Wimbledon on Saturday. Their Majesties stayed for some hours, the Queen remaining until as late as seven o'clock.
The one sensation of the day was the astonishing defeat of Mrs. Sperling, the German champion, who was favoured to win in several quarters, by Miss Joan Hartigan, champion of Australia. The Commonwealth has thus both her number one players re maining in the field.
Adrian Quist could do no more against Perry than make a bold bid for the third set when all seemed lost. Then he con verted 2-4 into 4—4, and added speed to get his nose in front. But the attack on the other side was always too intensive, the pressure too remorseless, and the footwork of the enemy too fluent.
The contest was closer than the figures suggest; there were a number of long games stubbornly waged, that went to Perry after 'vantage point against him. Yet, while Quist always made his strokes soundly and with an instinct for the correct strategy, he did not make them as quickly as Perry.
