JULY 8. 1962 Wimbledon, England -41PD- Mrs. Karen Hantze Susman, travelling the tennis trail on "an extended honeymoon," overcame the patty-cake tac tics of Czech factory worker Vera Sukova Saturday for a B-4, 6-4, triumph that gave the United States 1 1 s first Wimbledon singles tennis championship since 1958. - The 19-year-old Mrs. Sus man of San Antonio, Tex., who never before had won national singles title, became B double Wimbledon cham pion later in the day when she and Billie Jean Moffitt of Long Beach, Calif., success fully defended their women's doubles crown by beating South Africans Sandra Price nnd Renee Schuurman, 5-7, 6-3, 7-5, in the finals of that event. Mrs. Susman came from be hind in both sets of the sin gles final to beat her 30-year-old rival, who had scored sev eral stunning upsets in earlier rounds with her soft style of play. Leg Injury Mrs. Sukova, only the third Unseeded player ever to reach the women's singles final in the all-England champion ships, aggravated a leg injury while leading in the second set. She lost four of the last five games 'and, after limping off the court, said, "I think, maybe, I could have won." "It's a great pity it had to end that way," said Mrs. Susman, but U. S. team cap tain Bob Kellehcr of Los An geles said "There is no ques tion Karen was the superior player" and the crowd of 15,- 000 appeared to agree by the huge ovation it gave the first U. S. Wimbledon singles champion since Althea Gib son of New York took the women's crown in 1958. Mrs. Sukova, a brawny Prague housewile who works part-time in a Czech jet air craft factory, said the injury she suffered Saturday was an aggravation of an ankle twist she suffered Friday in walk ing down a carpeted stairs in her hotel. She said that it bothered her throughout the match, but especially starting in the sixth game nf the second set at a lime when she was leading, 3-2. Mrs. Susman, who had just rallied from a 3-0 deficit in 1 hat set despite two linesmen's calls that were criticized by the crowd, said she didn't notice Mrs. Sukova limping until the final gamo of the match when Mrs. Susman was leading, 5-3. Mrs. Sukova triever whose talent is covering ground to return shots, fought off match point four times in that final game before Mrs. Susman crashed a forehand shot into a corner for the deciding point. The American girl was presented with the champion ship trophy by the Duchess of Kent, who also presented the 1958 trophy to Miss Gib son. The capacity crowd, which f 2 1 t 4 a dogged re-, had been reading criticism of main tennis f Mrs. Susman's Dlav in the British press for two weeks, obviously was rooting for the underdog Mrs. Sukova at the start of the match. British writers had rapped Mrs. Sus man's slow-down style of play and suggested she was trying to upset her opponents, but Mrs. Susman said the delib erate "is my game no my gamesmanship." In the second game of the first set Mrs. Susman twice tossed a ball up to serve and then let it drop. She said later it was due to nervousness, but the crowd began to clap ironically and she was so up set she double-faulted. But the crowd was all with the U. S. girl in the second set when she battled grimly back from loss of the first three games. In the fourth game the crowd gasped in surprise when a linesman called "out" on one of her forehands that raised powder from the baseline. And it groaned, "No, no" on her very next service when a linesman called "fault" on what seem ed to b' an ace. When she won the game despite these calls, the crowd gave her huge applause.
