Tilden's Success, Tilden's victory was the result of the most convincing all-round tennis ever seen in this country. The pace was terrific throughout. Both Tilden and Patterson possess super-services which furnished both with many winners outright. But the test came when, after the experimental first set, Tilden settled down to plugging losers backhand relentlessly with a heavily chopped ball, which throughout the last three sets Patterson was seen netting consistently. £xperts point out that Patterson's backhand is) fundamentally weak because he' plays it with a forehand grip and the forehand face of the racket.
