Alejod Russell OF Argentina and Ffeda
James, England. 6-3, Is, e3.
A crowd which had stood in line
most of the night jammed the center
court to see the Budge-Austin match.
Queen Mary. dressed all in white,
arrived just before Bulge and Austin
came out. This time Bulge bowed
gracefully and the crowd, remember
ing another time when he didn't,
laughed.
Bulge won the toss and served. It
looked like struggle when Bulge,
after winning the first two points with
perfect volleys, had to survive four
deuces to hold his own service.
Austin held his own service at love
In the second game and twice scored
aces Oh Budge's service before Don
pulled up to win the third and lead,
al.
Following every good shot to the
net now, Bulge broke Austin's serv-
ice in the fourth game and raced on
to take the nth for a Al lead.
At the end of the NTH game the
Duke and Duchess Of Kent arrived.
The crowd stood up and the match
was halted as the Duke went over and
kissed his mother.
Bulge simply was irresistible now.
No matter how we'll Austin hit his
shots or where, Bulge turned them
into winners. Don again broke the
Briton's service in the sixth game
and then ran out the seventh with the
loss Of only two points for the set.
Point score, first set:
Bulge -- 904 647 4-34-6
Austin ---- 742 AIS 2-25-l
Apparently Unstoppable.
Bulge, apparently unstoppable, ran
into a 40 lead in the second set.
The Californian won Bunny's service
in the first game and carried it again
IN the third while holding his own
delivery twice. Even when Don aced
the Briton to win the fourth game
there was little applause.
Even in the NTH game, when he LED
40-l5, Austin couldn't hold the Cali
fornian. Bulge again stormed the
net and Bunny actually was throwing
his racquet at the Americans fiery
drives at the end Of the game. Don
also took the sixth game, this one
with the loss Of only one point, for
the set at love.
Point score, second set:
Bulge ------------ 545 4S4-30-6
Austin n-------------- 313 261-16-0
Again Bulge took Austin's service
at the start OF the third set and
then held his own in the second for
20 lead. When Bulge took the
third game-his 14th in a row-Austin
stood still in the center of the court,
smiled and shook his head.
Austin finally broke through Don's
service to win the fourth game, three
hard-hit volleys turning the trick, and
then won the nth with the loss of
only one point.
Having let down momentarily.
Bulge won the sixth game at love for
"a lead.
But even now he was taking it easy.
