A crowd of 12,000 spectators witnessed one of the most thrill- ing encounters yet witnessed in the Davis Cup. It lasted for 2 hours and 20 minutes! The court was amazingly wet and had ap parently been over-watered, Borotra was not at home under these conditions and floundered badly until he changed his shoes. From that point the French player was a changed man, and he gained the
