Some people, including, close students of form, may, perhaps, be inclined to challenge this statement. But let these crities look at the imposing list of titles won by British players since the year opened. If we go back a little further and count the year as from July to July then Britain's record reads even better still,

Britain's national team successfully challenged France for the Davis Cup in July, 1933. Although hailed with immense enthusiasm throughout the world, the feat was regarded in some quarters as somewhat in the nature of a fluke. There were those who said that Britain only won because such-and-such a thing happened, and that we could not hold the cup on the faster surface, of grass.
