American Arthur Ashe and Australia's Roy Emerson listened to the weather forecast on Ashe's radio before calling it a day and leaving the clubhouse. Rain washed out play soon after it started in the first day of the NSW tennis championships at White City today. Players waited about for a while but further rain made even practice impossible. Slim, dynamic Arthur Ashe has left no ***** he will be the corner-stone of the American team if they reach next year's Davis Cup Challenge Round in Melbourne. November 11, 1965.
