A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR BRITISH LAWN TENNIS
די
The lawn tennis season has been ushered in with a performance which cannot fail to have a stimulating effect on the game in Britain for it proved what determination and courage can accomplish.
Geoffrey L. Paish, a bespectacled civil servant, of Croydon, near London, who is one of Britain's top ranking players, was not expected to give Italy's leading ex- ponent, Glovanni Cucelli, more than a fairly testing game in the Davies Cup tie that eventually gave Italy the right to play Luxembourg in the next round.
Tony Mottram, Palsh's compatriot, had beaten Rolando del Bello to level the scores at two rubbers each, and a comfortable win was expected for the dynamic, experienced Italian champion Cucelli in the decisive match. Instead, a tensely ex- cited crowd saw Paish reach the heights which those famous English players, Fred Perry and "Bunny" Austin, frequently attained before World War II.
