3 top Aussie women face bans by their home nation. Kerry Melville (#2 Aussie), Judy Dalton (#4) recently joined the rebel Virginia Slims group. Fellow pro Karen Krantzcke (#3) has decided to join as well. Rather than go home and play in their home nation for peanuts, the ladies will stay in the United States and play Slims events starting in January. With no support from the Aussie LTA the air fare back and forth from the US to Australia is not economical. All 3 will miss the upcoming Federation Cup and the Australian Open.

Everything transferred from the old thread to the new. I will make 1970 a pilot project for the rest of 2014.

 

World Tennis results copied through May 1970 issue.

 

Hey Rollo, if there are other pages missing, just mention it, because I got some copies of 1970 world tennis too. As far as I looked it over, I have also the missing page of the march issue.

 

Thanks for your sharp eye Mick1303.

The errors above have been corrected.

 

Thanks Mike--it was Newbery in the final.

Note I changed Gohn back to Gohl. Judith Gohl was from South Australia and does not=Judith Dibar-Gohn.

(Results from page 45/89 of march issue of 1970 WT)

 

Fiona Morris – found a link on the net (http://rhodesiansportprofiles.blogspot.com/2012/09/patricia-molly-pretorius.html) that it is the same person as Fiona McKenzie.
A. McMillan - there were mentions of Allison and Anne McMillan...
