Ted Schroeder's smashing upset victory over John Bromwich and Jack Kramer's easy triumph over Dinney Pails in the opening matches of Davis Cup play today virtually extinguished Australia's hopes of retaining the international tennis trophy. The two Americans, trying to bring back the symbol of world tennis supremacy which has been held down under since 1939, team up tomorrow to tangle with Bromwich and Adrian Sunny Florida, home of the orange and the plush winter play hard-working John Barnhui requires of his men in football.

Never for an instant in the long gruelling struggle did Schroeder relax the pressure.
