It is worth recalħing, that the last time Australia and America met in the Davis Cup the Australians actually led by two matches to love only to meet with auch brilliant opposition in the next three rubbers as to lose them-and the Ancounter.

They made a magnificent effort to Justify their selection. According to Reuter the Australians were full of errors in the first two sets and were unable to cope with the ferocious smashing of the Americans.
But they steadied themselves in the third set, and by means of accu- rate baseline driving broke down the American attack.
