Budge Will Earn £50,000 In Three Years
Plans Retirement From Professional Tennis After Wembley Tourney
London, March 10.
In all probability Donald Budge will be appearing for the last time as a professional tennis player when he com. petes in the Wembley tournament next May. Such is his power as a money-maker that, at 22, he is already talking of retiring!
Budge, brilliant craftsman of the courts, has had only six months of professionalism. In that time he has passed the £15,000 guarantee given by F. T. Hunter's syndicate when they secured his signature.
On that basis Budge reckons clear £50,000 In three years, and with £50,000 put away to earn in- terest, there will be little cause for him to continue playing tennis, ex- cept for pleasure.
No-Budge fancies that he will qul professional shows and go to work!
Of course, this money has been earned in the United States, where! professional tennis has become such!
