Key to Success

The key to sueees in the front rank of women tennis, she says, is severity of ground stroke, though she agrees that each player will find the type of play best suited to her physical characteristics. The game bè- comes more simple as the player pro-grosses, she says, partly because she knows it better, but also because she discovers that there is no game like the direct attack. Fancy strokes, and excess of spin, though impressive to look at from the side-lines, bring the results that a fast-driving game does, with elimination of all unnecessary motion and exertion. Reuter.
