6-4, 6-0, to give America five
of the eight places in the wo
men's singles quarterfinals. But
those triumphs were far over
shadowed by the doubles upset.
A delirious crowd of 15,000
cramming every inch of space
in the court on one of Britain's
hottest days gave a roaring
tribute to blonde, chunky Lew
Hoad and dark, slender Ken
Rosewall after an exhibition of
tennis so dazzling that even their
American rivals paid them un
stinting tribute.
The U.S. women appear set
to win the singles title for the
ninth straight time but Satur

monopolized the attention of the

couldn't get into the center

the last point but was too fre

with the 37-year-old Mulloy. The
Americans had only one real
chance to win a match point
in the 10th game of the fifth
set. But with the greatest com
posure, Rosewall served a blis

managed a return only to have
Hoad ram it down the sideline
for duece. Then Mulloy netted
an easy one, Savitt hit out a
sure point and the Aussies out
played the Americans in a ping
