This eoluntntbeing all in favor of bestowing
credit where the same is due., we take this
opportunity to belatedly doff' the chapeau in
the general direction of far -away Anstrali
It's an oldish story now that the fore
front Down Under won the Davis Cup, entblemf..;j,
tic • of world tennis superiority, so that at least one major, sports /•
went to the lean -credit side of the British sports iodge
before 1951 closed out.
'But that isn't exactly the point We had in mind. What we
' ante'd ,to satyr is that the over -a)1 Australian Davis Cup record
is almost mina'eulous.
From n scant population (Somewhere in the neighborhood
- trf 10,000,000) It has for 50 years derelioped some of the greatest
tennis players in history—Anithotuy Wilding, the -all time No. 1
southpaw, Sir Norman iirookes, Gerald I'atitei n, Tames Ander-
son, Pat O'Hara, .Adrian Qttigt, John Bromwich and -Row, in -the
last couple years, Sedgman, McGregor and Rose.
Dsespite a eomparwtively meagre popttiat.ion to draw from,
Australia has during the period since "1900 sent 20 of tts teams
into Davis Cup challenge rounds and its players have won. nine
limos.
The United States, provided with talent from the great
California.tennis mill, has participated in 33 challenge rounds
and of these has lost more than it has won. The score is: US 15,
Opponents 18. in ratio of population, Australia tops them all
in tennis sUccess. '
The Aussies defeated powerful British teams twice and the
United States squaiLs seven times, with Brookes and Wilding doing
the racquet swinging for the Aussies on four occasions.
A:stiralia was not knocked out of the picture try the first war
or by World \Voir H. either, despite staggering lesses of ntan-
lx►tver." Its players ninde bite cliallenge round 13 tithes, from
1919 through 1951, but lost twice to Great Britain, nine tunes to
the 1'niteti States partly One to the reign of the famous "Big Bill
and 1,idrtde 11111" (Tilden and Johnston) eoml►in:lt
Ilow long they rain hold on is another matter in view of the
gun n;tity production in the i'nited ata1ts. But they won it
against 1he, best -the United States could produce, even tholtgh
there wits not hint; in the 1051 series to compare with one of the
most famous matches of Davis Cup hi'tor'. That was in 1914
W hen .\ hist •a1hi's Brookes and Wild ing played together for the
itl51 time. .\.merlea ':s "('K►m4't" Me•ietrngltlirt and Brookes sere
opponents in a terrific match,' the first stat of which went 32
games, the longest in Davis ('alp history for mit0,5 years, The'
Otiniet lina113 won 111 '41ralght sets.
The Atissies, however, [von the title, 3 matches to 2. Roth
Brookes and Wilding then went to war and Wilting was killed
with thons:ands of other Anzacs in the Gallipoli campaign.
So. this observer believes, a. rousing cheer, a verbal pat on
the back, and a hearty ftod of appreciation, is due to the (tardy
AustrYalians, who prodce qua.lit;y despite a lack of quantity.
