FitzGibbon Beats Pilic in Open Wimbledon Debut
American 26-year-old Herb FitzGibbon from Garden City New York stunned Yugoslav Nikki Pilic in the first round at Wimbledon 3-6 7-5 6-3 6-2 amid rain delays. Pilic seeded 16th and last year’s semifinalist was undone by FitzGibbon’s spin serve and energy on the center and stadium courts as weather halts reduced play and another rain-plagued day. Billie Jean King beat Peaches Bartkowicz in straight sets and Ann Haydon Jones defeated Kathy Harter as women’s action saw limited play while crowds surged past 20 000.
