NEW US TENNIS CHAMPION

MOST COLOURFUL PLAYER

American amateur tennis, which looked so anaemic a few weeks ago, is bursting with vigour today-and will continue healthy as long as new national champion Richard Gonzales continues to play his normal game, writes Cornelius Ryan.

It is possible that Gonzales will be the greatest and most colourful player the game ever has known. That's a lot of territory, but the 20-year-old Los Angeles star has the possibilities; physically he has everything. He is six feet two inches tall, weighs 192 pounds, is broadshouldered, He has stamina and and #atbellied
