Both men got substantial

John Bromwich. the two-fisted

strategy for Trabert's speed and

his famous tWo-f1sted troke to

Time and again Bromwich hit
the lines with. twisting shots by
swinging the racquet with both
hands instead of the usual one
hand grip as he pulled off the
biggest tennis surprise in years.
The 35-year -old's victory
smashed Trabert's dream OF
sweeping all four major tennis
titles in the world-Australian,

paved the way for little Ken
