ROSEWALL COMES NEAR
TO BEING THE FIRST GIANT KILLED
Wimbledon, June 21. Ken Rosewall, playing poorly, had a narrow escape from extinction in the first round at Wimbledon at the hands of Abe Segal, South Africa, who went down to the Australian, 5-7, 6-4, 6-8, 6-8 after more than once looking the winner.
Rosewall looked tired, was slow and could not judge his shots. Only on his backhand driving and voileying at the net did he look like a champion. For the rest Segal was the more impressive and can consider himself unfortunate not to have become the Wimbledon glant-killer of 1954.
