Soviet Teen Qualifies For National Tennis Tour
Seventeen year old Alexander Metreveli of the Soviet Union became the first Soviet player to win a U S tennis match and earn a spot in the tournament proper after a rain reduced qualifying round at the West Side Tennis Club. He defeated Bronson Van Wyck of Montclair New Jersey 3 6 7 5 6 3 6 2 in the match while David Asz of Israel beat Ed Turville Jr of St Petersburg Florida 6 4 3 6 8 6 1 6 4 in the other qualifier. Metreveli noted he needs grass court practice but has played Wimbledon. He spoke through an interpreter and was coached by Semon Beliz Geman. Turville, Van Wyck and Asz were among top juniors in the event as rain interrupted several matches delaying today’s schedule.
