Us. Davis Cup Win Seen
Next Week In Australia 60
BY WILL GRIMsLEY

MELBOURNE "a - Our predie-
ton is the United States win win
back the Davis Cup next week
three matches to tw1.
Bombardier Tony Trabert should
take both his singles assignments
and we expect the third point to
come from Vic Seixas' victory over
Lewis Hoad.
On form the doubles and one
other singles must be conceded to
the Australians, although America
may pull q surprise in the tandem
match.
These observations are based on
"a months scrutiny of rival teams
lin practice and in preliminary
tournament and interzone compe-
tition.
Trabert, who came here from
his honeymoon, has honed himself
into razor sharpness that makes
him perhaps the best amateur ten
mis- player in the world.
He was flabby and out of shape
when he carried Hoad to four sets
and almost won the match in the
New South Wales semifinals at
Sydney.
He also was In poor condition
when he bowed to Rex Hartwig
in the Victorian Tournament here.
But now he is lean and hard as
a piece Of rope and hitting the
ball like q unbeatable champion.
He is keen, eager and seemingly
can run all day.
Furthermore, he hasn't reached
his playing peak and under the
present time schedule he should
hit it about next Monday when the
first singles matches win be played
at Kooyong.
They key to the American sue.
cess continues to be Seixas, who
suffered a series of physical and
mental miseries, preventing him
from attaining the form that won
him the Wimbledon championship.
Yet he has shown in the past
he can recover his sensitive
touch as easily as he can lose it.
We expect him to hit it before
next Monday.
Tennis is a game which closely
follows form and Seixas has the
hoodoo sign on young Hoad, whom
he's beaten six times in a row.
BY the reverse token, Australia's
young Ken Rosewall has Ine-split-
ting ground strokes to beat Seixas
and has done it on the last six
