Summary

It's Waltzing Matilda time, as for the first time ever Australians sit atop both the men's and women's rankings.

Male Aussie dominance has been common since the 1950s. Rod Laver continues the tradition by sweeping all 4 majors for the Grand Slam.

Shy Margaret Smith isn't far behind though capturing 3 out of 4 majors.

The first leg was easy, as Smith pushed aside a field of fellow Aussies, including a 6-0 6-2 rout of Jan Lehane in the final. Success in Europe followed, including the prestigious Italian Open. When Margaret won the French at Roland Garros she was halfway home to the Grand Slam. It was a quite a final though-Smith winning only after a 6-3 3-6 7-5 struggle.

Centre Court at Wimbledon proved a disaster however. A tiny bespacled American named Billie Jean Moffitt sent Margaret packing in her first match. It was the first time in history a #1 woman's seed went out in her opening match at the Championships. "Little Miss Moffitt" (later King) embraced the Centre Court, while this incident gave Smith a fear od Centre Court and Wimbledon that many said she never got over completely.

Upsets galore continued, as Czech Vera Sukova took out defending champion Angela Mortimer, Darlene Hard, and favorite Maria Bueno. Young Karen Susman is only 19 and,Billie Jean's doubles partner, came through the other side of the draw. How much an ankle injury affected Sukova is hard to day. Susman won 6-4 6-4 and became the most surprising Wimbledon female up to this point.

Order was restored by the end of the summer, as Margaret Smith topped Darlene Hard 9-7 6-4 at Forest Hills in the final. It took a lot of mental fortitude on Smith's part, as Hard whipped up the crowd by contesting line calls and crying on the backstop in the 2nd set. Darlene had hurt herself in not converting on a set point and serving up 16 double faults.

Margaret Smith now was #1 without a doubt after becoming the first Australian female to win the Italian, French, and US Championships. Only Wimbledon had escaped her grasp. Her record for the year was 67-2, winning 13 of 15 titles.

Draw note:

Early round info comes from the London Times, which does not give rounds. Thus the first 3 rounds (with QF=3R) are an educated guess based on the semis as an anchor. Doubles rounds before the semis are also an educated guess.

This, and not Auckland, was the New Zealand Championships event. The poor field is due to timing, as it conflicted with the Australian Nationals.

Draw Notes:

The Canberra Times, NYT, and World Tennis lists Tegart's partner as Fay (nee Muller) Robinson, not Lorraine (nee Coghlan, who also wed a Mr Robinson), the name the Aussie web site uses.

The New York Times calls Judith Robinson "Jenny"-as does the Canberra Times.

The #11 and #13 seeds are inferred, as the Aussie site lists both women at #1

Missing full names for:

M. Schofield. She perhaps=Mrs Max Schofield of Penrith, NSW.
B. Thomas

Mr May, mixed partner of Norma Marsh. Could World Tennis possible be in error? There was also a N. Hay in the men's draw.

-----------------------------------------

Summary:

Smith (later Court) easily wins her 3rd consecutive Aussie, dropping only 16 games in 5 matches. The public is disappointed that the American rival Darlene Hard didn't make the finals, as she and Margaret have a bitter rivalry. Finalist Jan Lehane is the first top ten female with a two-handed (or two fisted as it's called in the 60's) backhand.

Smith and Lehane play the first ever ladies slam final at night under lights. It lasts only 35 minutes.

Mary Reitano retires after this slam. The Aussies nicknamed her "Miss Poker face", and she won 2 Aussies in her career.

Ebbern and Smith take the doubles in a surprise. Darlene Hard and Yola Ramirez had partnered each other on the Aussie circuit until the championships. The doubles final was the first ever slam title match decided under lights. Rain had dictated the move. The slippery court also led Darlene to use spikes to avoid slipping and falling on the grass. Ebbern and Smith directed their attack at the softer hitting Reitano.

Once outside Oz Darlene lets loose with stinging criticism of Aussie officials. "I have joined the great majority of tennis visitors to Australia. I'll never go back. Go through the list-Maria Bueno, Angelea Mortimer, Sandra Reynolds, Renne Schuuurman; and now myself. After one experience of Australia we have said, never again." Darlene added, "...they treat you not a person, not as a player, but as a puppet. And they are stingy." Hard says it has taken her time to recover from the debilitating hepatitus she had last year, and the Aussie heat took it out of her after a set and a half. As for her rivalry with Margaret Smith: "Margaretis a good player, but what has she done outside of Australia? Who won at Forest Hills? I'll be very happy to settle matters at Wimbledon."

Lesley and Madonna didn't know they had been "chosen" to play In India until they read it in the newspapers! Speaking of newspapers-all Australia is riveted by the ongoing drama involving Margaret Smith and Nell Hopman, who managed the Aussie overseas tour in 1961. After Hopman was again selected to head the 1962 team Smith announced in early March that she would tour privately, setting off a firestorm. Theats from the LTA failed to cow the young woman, who shot back that, "I don't care what the LTA of Australia says. I'm going overseas."

Nell Hopman's take on the matter: "It is deplorable that a girl of 19 can go against out top tennis authorities. It's as though I were some sort of undesirable person. "

In the end the LTA didn't dare ban Smith-she is finally allowed to tour privately so long as she dosen't accept expense money from events she enters

From World Tennis: "Edda Buding, who plays with graceful ease, got into a lovely rhythm of stroking brilliance to beat Bueno in the quarters. However, in the final round Darlene Hard anticipated Edda's tendency to crosscourt most of her sizzling backhands, and the US Champ pounced on them with her quick volleys."

Most of singles draw per Ugarte. Note that there is no place or space for 2 1R winners in the rest of the draw? How can this be explained? Are we missing a round fo results?

Bueno's forehand is off and she misses some easy volleys at net in the third as the steady Thomas shocks 3 seeds in a row for the week of her career. This year the "Twist" is THE dance at all the player parties.

The Hard-Schuurman semi "steals the spotlight from the men". Renee partly blames her loss on the "distraction" from the South African press, which is critical of her decision not to come home for the South African nationals. Hard "charging the net time after time" rallies from 6-7 down.

The singles final took two hours, "both aiming uncompromisingly for the lines". Down 1-3 in the third, Renne claws her way back "on sheer power". Mortimer hit 3 gorgeous drop shots at 4-5, two on match points, but in the end South African took the long last game. Renne had bronchitus at the start of the week, ending it by upsetting both the reigning French and Wimbledon champions. When a call was disputed in the third set Renee said, "Let's play it again because Angela is moaning." Angela replied, "I myself suffered a bad call a little earlier." Renee: "So what, do you think I tried to pinch that point?"

Draw notes

We have 1R results for Anne Smith, Green, and Rosser but no 2R results. This raises the possibility that these were actually 2R matches.

Vera Roberts is called Pauline Roberts by the New York Times. This confirms that the two are, in fact, one and the same.

Draw note:

The NYT calls Alessandra Gobbo "Sandra". Was this a nickname?

In 1962 the Italian is considered "the fifth major" by most experts. Smith remains undefeated for 1962-her last defeat was in September at the US Nationals! Pericoli beat Schuurman with an endless series of lobs and higher lobs. ....the South African went berserk under the barrage of bloopers."

Darlene troubles Smith in the semis-holding 5 set points in the first, one bad call going against her. Rain delayed play after that, and Darlene was never happy with the slow and soggy court that favored her rival. In the other semi Truman was two points from a win at 5-2 30-0 when she botched an easy overhead. La Bueno then ran off 45 games in a row. Both semis were played in a drizzle.

A high wind affects play in the finals. Maria pushed the Aussie to the limit before succumbing to leg cramps in the third. Controversy occurs when Smith finds out Maria will have a "coach" on the sidelines, which is against all rules. Smith declares she should be allowed to have a "second" too or won't play. Both women are seconded by the respective captains of the Davis Cup teams from their countries. It's an amazing sight as the men towel off the girls and offer encouragement between games.

Maria led 4-3 in the third when the wheels came off. In the end Maria is a lame duck from leg cramps, even serving underhanded at one point. The last 3 games take a mere five minutes-with Smith taking the last two games at love.

Italians don't normally show up for women's matches, but the Bueno-Smith final and the lobbing Italian duo of Lazzarino/Pericoli bring out a full stadium on the last two days. The crowd cheers after Bueno and Hard put away their thousandth smash to win the doubles on the last day.

Bricka/Smith d. Hopman/Tegart 6-3 6-2 in the second round-in what may have been a grudge match. It was Mrs. Hopman's alleged ill treatment of the Aussie gals on the 1961 world tour that prompted Smith not to repeat the experience. The Aussie press is agog when an LTA decision to ostracize Margaret is made public. By a 10-2 vote the LTA declared that no other women can hit or practice with Smith. Nell's husband, Davis Cup captain and legend Harry Hopman, is actually booed and yelled at when he speaks at a dinner in Tasmania in defense of the ban. Smith goes on to down 3 memebers of the 62 Aussie squad in winning the singles here.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------


The coldest French to date. The event was lacking Maria Bueno and Darlene Hard, who opted for playing exhibitions in Germany. The German tour paid more in "expense money" than the French.

In an early round French player Aline Nenot took a set off top tenner Truman 7 months after giving birth to triplets.

In the QFs South African Sandra Reynolds Price was unable to find her rhythm on her booming forehand. "The vicious forehand was missing it's mark, and without it Sandra is not very dangerous. Turner " ran miles, buzzing like a little bee around the court..and never once did the expression on her pretty face change!". In the semis Lesley let 2 match points slip away in set two and fell behind 0-3 in the decider before pulling it out.

The other semi was also worth admission, as Schuurman sent passing shots at Margaret Smith. Smith survived a set point and never looked back after closing the first at 8-6.

Wind made the final tricky. "The public, never very easygoing in Paris, participated with vocal chords in full blast during every exchange". Turner got to match point at 5-3 but missed a volley, after which her nerves deserted her. Smith served two winners at 4-5 to even the score. She had played defense, a style unsuited to her game, almost the whole match. The last 3 games she played like a champ and swept Turner off the court. Smith's "overhead was wild and she made a lot of unnecessary mistakes. But she won the match, and that is the mark of a champion." Smith entered the doubles with American Bricka because the Aussie Tennis Association is ostracizing her. Other Aussie women are under orders not to practice or associate with the World #1. Most of the Aussie public and press think their LTA is being idiotic and support Margaret.
