Draw Notes:

P Hart=Julie Hart

Fay Muller now appears under her maiden name. Was she divorced or widowed from the previous year?

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

Summary:

3 British gals are the only foreigners-and #4 seed Christine Truman defaults before she plays her first match. Christine cuts short her tour due to a weight problem and returns to Britain. Truman pays her own way around the world.

Searing heat early on (it topped 100 F) gave way to cooler temps. Players were unwilling to play night matches as a means of catching up.

Lehane loses in the finals to Smith for the 4th year in a row despite the crowd cheering for her. Smith was under a lot of pressure due to a controversy with the Aussie LTA (Lawn Tennis Association). In 1962 Smith refused to tour with chaperone Nell Hopman and the other Aussie girls. It was so bad at one point she was preparing to emigrate to New Zealand. Finally the LTA let the "rebel" make a private overseas tour, where Hopman had the other Aussie girls shun her. Smith's reaction was to practice with the men. Smith also won the doubles and mixed for a triple crown. She and Fletcher would capture the mixed grand slam in 1963.

17 year old Van Zyl carries all before her, the big upset being that of Heather Segal in the semis, when she recovers from 0-2 in the third. "Stonewaller" Vukovich loses so much confidence in her serve (she double faulted away a whole game to start) that she hit it underhanded at least a dozen times in her quarterfinal loss to Schuurman.

-----

Mortimer decides to enter the doubles only, robbing the women's event of a big star. Truman's thoughtless netrushing aids Baylon in the semis. "It was heartbreaking to see all the passing shots rhythmically sail by her." Fierce forehands by Baylon get her to 3-0 in the third over a tired looking Ann. Norma loosened her grip just enough to let Jones in the door, and despite Baylon's leads of 5-4 and 6-5 the doughty Brit wore down the attacking Argentine.

Controversy surrounded the Argentine's #2 seeding, it was only her second ever event overseas.
