Mentally Tired Ashe To Rest Before Forest Hills
Army Lt. Arthur Ashe, 25, Davis Cup ace from Richmond, hoped for days of rest before the Forest Hills opening, after winning the 88th U.S. National Championship. He defeated Bob Lutz 4-6 63 8-10 6-0 6-4 in a muggy Longwood final, as Lutz, USC senior, upset several top players en route to the title match. Maria Bueno and Margaret Smith Court defeated Virginia Wade and Joyce Williams 6-3 7-5 in women's doubles to claim her 547th career championship.
