World Tennis Championships decision favors England

The piece argues the All England Club should not retain control, noting England’s status and the potential for profits to accrue to the governing association rather than the club. It also weighs American and Australasian involvement and analyzes the three leading players Brookes Wilding and McLoughlin in context of a future world championship. Sydney University club officials inducted. Sydney badge matches continue with notable results and player form.
