SEDGMAN BEATS DROBNY AFTER BEING TWO
TWO SETS DOWN IN THE SEMI-FINAL
Wimbledon, July 5.
Staging a brilliant rally after being two sets down, Frank Sedg- man, the young Australian Champion and No. 1 seed, today reached the final of the men's singles in the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships. His courageous back-to-the-wall effort enabled him to defeat Jaroslav Drobny, the former Czechoslovak star now playing for Egypt, by 3-6, 3-6, 6-3, 7-5 and 6-2.
Sedgman will meet in Friday's final the American, Budge Patty, winner of the recent French Championship, who beat his compatriot, Victor Seixas, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4 and 7-5.
Drobny was set for the kill after his fierce serving and driving, but he falter- ed against the immaculate stroke play produced by Sedgman and, as the match pro- grensed, he became weakened and dispirited and lapsed into costly errors. Previously he hnd played with machine-like precision, his crisp volleying and driving having Sedgman in real trouble. The packed Centre Court could not hope to see a more scintillating and pulsating match.
It was the second consecutive | day that Sedgman and come from behind a two-set defielt to stav the hunt for the world's moel coveted fawn tols title.

Pierre, whose previous bowling record on the tour was three wickets for 172 runs, was never easy to play on the dry pitch and, considering the indifferent light which prevailed most of the day, Lancashire acquired a much larger total than at one time seemed possible in scoring 174 runs.
