Grant Picks Australia Davis Cup Odds At Dixie Tourney
Bitsy Grant, veteran Atlanta tennis star, predicts Australia will retain the Davis Cup and perhaps rule for two or three more years. He notes he is playing in his first tournament in four years at the Dixie Tennis Tournament after service overseas and Red Cross matches in Australia. He doubts U S challengers can beat players like Quist Romwich and Pauls, and says Frankie Parker could be tough to beat at nationals. Grant, 35, says he will keep playing as long as his legs hold out, recalling his first national title in 1930.
