Tennis Players Their Way

Through Their Contracts

By JOHN MONKS

Across the groon grass of Kooyong centre court a tennis ball hums through the hot, still air, delivered with all the power- packed hatred behind Low Hoad's muscled racket arm. At the other ond, tooth clenched in a snarl of fury, Pancho Gonzales streaks to return the ball to a corner just out of reach of his tormentor's backhand.

This is tennis 1958 style-the year of 125,000-dollar hate.

It is tennis about as gay and carefree as that Harry Hopman's grim- faced twina Hoad and Ken Rosewall used to turn on at Wimbledon. But what was only a game for "Laughing Boy" Lew Hoad under the iron rule of Hopman is today a grim battle between the greatest enemies ever to meet on a tennis court.

In Adelaide, Pancho left the courts with blood dripping from the lightly gripped angers of his rocket hand after going down to load in a five-set match.

When Hoad wine, galleryites complain of the language used by poker-faced Low as he whips himself to a frenzy of hatred to conquer Gonzales.

Sald tour official Ted Schroeder, after watching this tennis played in a mood of blazing fury: "Silp one of those boys out there a sledgehammer and they would end it quick.
