U.S.'s Karen Susman Wins
Singles Title at Wimbledon
MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON
SUNDAY. 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.

with Jack Sanford pitching
hitless ball for the first six
innings, recaptured first
place from the error-plagued
Los Angeles Dodgers Satur
day by trouncing them 10-3.
Los Angeles cracked for
five errors against the Giants
for the second consecutive
time in the four-game scries
and dropped back to a half
game off the pace.
Heading into the seventh
Inning, Sanford had allowed
only one walk while retir
ing the other ft batters he
faced. But the Dodgers then
routed him with three straight
hits and picked, up two quick
runs.
Willie Mays, who made a
fine catch of Wally Moon's
smash in the sixth inning,
gave San Francisco a 1-0 lead
in the first with his 25th home
run. Then five of San Fran
cisco's next eight tallies were
unearned.
The third place Pittsburgh
Pirates moved to within 4'i
games of the league lead by

helped his own cause in the
near 100 - degree temperature

and teammate Vada Pinson
blasted his 15th home run.
The St. Louis Cardinals
gained a split with the New
York Mets when Stan Musial
hit an eighth - inning homer
for a 3-2 St. Louis win after
the Mets had taken the open
er of the doubleheader, 5-4,
on Marv Throneberry's two
run ninth inning homer.
Ray Daviault won his first
game of the season in the
opener and Ray Washburn re
ceived credit for the second
game victory.
