Draws Admiration Rosewall Is the type of tennis player who quickly draws the admiration and re spect of tennis fans every where. Hosewall, slender and fragile in appearance, has a tensile strength in his wiry frame that allows him to out last larger, and so-called stronger, players. He has amazingly fluid reflexes and his dogged determination to beat out the bigger. ' These traits, combined' with an almost stoical expression during combat, attract the si lent admiration of the spec tators as they watch him match shots with his oppon ents. However, beneath that stoical veneer blazes a fan atical ambition to win. Colorful In Own Way Rosewall Is not necessarily a true promoter's dream. He has little of the flamboyant mannerisms of a Pancho Se gura and only smattering of the overwhelming power of a Lew Hoed. He turns his back on the gestures that made Ted Williams a controversial ports figure; yet, in his own way, he is colorful and crowd- appealing. Rosewall Is the master of concentration, built upon the foundation of a me chanically perfect ground i L l ' Br cm lansr Cin have com a long way lh past few years.

Only a player who has been imprcgnably fortified with the basic strokes can en gage in complete concentra tion during a match, and Rosewall is one of those rare players. , . Cam Naturally Ken came into tennis as na turally as an American boy takes to baseball. The nation al pastime of the land down under is tennis, and thus did Ken take up the racket swinging sport. He reached the top of the complex Australian tennis world In 1953 when he was named to the Aussie Davis Cup team at 19 years of age, along with Lew Hoad, who was the other member of what was referred to as Australia's "whiz kid tandem." From 1953 to 1956 Rose wall and Hoad made shambles of amateur tennis. Twice in that period the two wallaby wallopers led Australia to vic tory in the Davis Cup against the United States. Ken won every major title during that time except Wimbledon where he was runner-up twice. In Davis Cup competition Rosewall won six of the eight matches he was involved in. Sevan of Eight In 1962 Ken won seven out of eight tournaments in which ho competed and dom inated play in tour matches. For years Rosewall had been called the best tennis player in the world, pound for pound. The weight classi fication has now been dropped.
