In 1921 he beat A.
H. Gobert in the World's Hard Court Championship at St. Cloud.
Mishu is a winner. I don't know how he does it but he does. He is
above all a unique personality. Cheery, individual, at times
eccentric, Mishu is a popular figure in tournaments abroad. He
plays with a verve and abandon that appeals to the European
galleries while his droll humour and good nature make him a
delightful opponent.
J. WASHER
Belgium is represented by J. Washer, my opponent in the final
round of the Hard Court Championship of the World in 1921. Washer
is a fine orthodox tennis player. His service is a well placed
twist delivery of medium pace. He has a terrific forehand drive
that gains in effectiveness owing to the fact he is a
left-hander. Like so many players with a pronounced strength, he
covers up an equally pronounced weakness by using the strength.
Washer has a very feeble backhand for so fine a player. He pokes
his backhand when he is unable to run around it.
His overhead is strong, speedy and reliable. His volleying lacks
punch and steadiness. He has had little tournament experience and
shows promise of great improvement if given the opportunity.
E. TEGNER
Denmark is represented by a player of promise and skill in the
person of E. Tegner. This young star defeated W. H. Laurentz at
St. Cloud in the Hard Court Championship of the World in 1921
when the latter was holder of the title.
