Tegner is a baseline player of fine style. His strokes are long
free drives of fine pace and depth. His service is hardly
adequate for first flight tennis, yet while his ground game
cannot make up for the lack of aggression in his net attack.
Tegner is not of championship quality at the moment but his youth
allows him plenty of time to acquire that tournament experience
needed to fill in the gaps in his game. He is a cool, clever
court general and should develop rapidly within the next few
years.
H. L. DE MORPURGO
The Italian champion, H. L. de Morpurgo, is a product of his own
country and England where he attended college. He is a big, rangy
man of great strength. He uses a terrific service of great speed
but little control on his first ball and an exaggerated American
twist on the second of such extreme contortion that even his
great frame wears down under it.
His ground game is of flat drives that lack sufficient pace and
accuracy to allow him to reap the full benefit of his really
excellent net attack. His volleying is very good owing to his
great reach. His overhead, like his service, is hard but erratic.
Unfortunately he is slow on his feet and thus loses much of the
advantage of his large reach. He seems to lack confidence in his
game but that should come with more experience.
A. ZERLENDI
Tennis in Greece. No! not in ancient times but in modern, for
that little country has a remarkable little baseline star, by
name A.
