Doris lost her two previous
Wimbledon finals to Miss Osborne,
now Mrs. DUPONT, in 1947, and to
Miss Brough in 1948. Both times
she started fast, only to fall be-
hind on becoming fustered with
the arrival of Queen Mother Mary
a great tennis fan. Queen Mary
didn't come today.
The only game Miss Fry won. was
the third one of the match, when
she broke Doris service. On her
own service she managed to get
las far as deuce only twice. l
| Miss Hart jumped away to a
20 lead, lost her own serve, then
ran out the set in 10 minutes.
She came to the net three times,
banging perfect cross volley on
each occasion, to break through in
the first game of the second set.
! Miss Fry's last chance went
down the drain in the fourth game
when, with the score 5000, she set
herself for a smash, slammed away
and drove the ball into the net.
Shirley made only 10 points in
the second set.
Most of the excitement of the
afternoon was packed into the
second set of the women's doubles,
with the crowd divided between
pulling for Doris to get her second
victory and cheering Miss Brough's
gallant play. Louise played the
entire tournament with an ailing
right elbow that might have cost
her her singles crown, but she
. looked her former self today.
Doris and Shirley had things
their own way - In the first set,
but found themselves down rs in
the second as Louise and Margaret
played like champions.
After Shirley had served her
service, the challengers broke
through Miss Brough's serve ano
