QUIST HE WAS EASILY

QUASHED

UNUSUAL TACTICS OF

DONALD BUDGE

December 23.

After witnessing. Quist's form in practice, his timing of the ball, and execution of his strokes, I thought he would give Budge a great match. However, after displaying the form I had expect ed for two sets, he faded out, and was defeated 4-6, 7-5, 6-1, 6-0.

As soon as the match began the Australian struck top form, and proceeded to give his best display for a long time.

His serving and forehand driving carried great speed, and were perfectly controlled. His volleying was most decisive, and his back- hand impressive. Quist's perfect timing of the ball resulted in great pace, accuracy, and placement, which had Budge constantly in trouble and on the defensive.

DANGEROUS POSITION This type of play gave Quist the first set, and gained hi a 4-1 lead in the second, which was a most dangerous position even for mighty Budge.

the

However, the red-headed Ameri- can is a noted fighter, and at this stage he launched an-attack-on Quist's vulnerable "sliced" back- hand, which completely changed the aspect of the match, and gra- dually undermined the confidence of the Australian.

The American pressed home the attack by going to the net

ing severe deep drives to lo* *

ponent's backhand. This brought defensive returns that were easily volleyed for winners by Budge.

Despite a marvellous backhand passing. shot by Quist, Budge was undismayed, and he soon evened the score at 4-all.

SUBDUEN Budge had now subdued the Aus tralian, who seemed to have lost confidence in his backhand:-

He made very short defensive returns, which presented little dif- ficulty for the severe ground strokes of the American

After winning one more game Quist lost this set 7-5, and the standard of his play lapsed con- siderably....

His ground strokes lost their speed, accuracy, and length. Con- sequently, he was not able to offer
