victim for the champion. and he never
looked like a winner thereafter until
the fourth set.

Austin Fails to Keep Pace.
Austin wearied trying to keep up
with the tremendous pace and offered
little resistance as Won Cramm broke
his service in the eighth game of the
second set
However. it remained thrilling ten
mis-, with Won Cramm's high-bounding
service giving him the needed edge

as the English ace won.

Cramm 2-1 lead as he raised his
game to the heights and sent Austin
chasing madly after the ball. The
