wizards Jan Kodes of Czechoslovakia stands like a concrete barrier between top seed Stan Smith and the final If quarterfinals go as predicted Smith from Sea Pines SC should dispose of eighth seed Alex Metreveli of Russia and the resolute Kodes will end the triumphal march of unseeded Onny Parun of New Zealand This would pit fifth seeded Kodes against Smith in the semifinal of their half of the draw For this tussle Smith can draw on the confidence of beating Kodes 3-6 6-3 6-2 7-6 to take the US singles title at Forest Hills last year But 10 months later Smith has been advancing at Wimbledon by a wing and a prayer while Kodes has been playing as if raised on fast grass court The other semifinal will be between defending champion Evonne Goolagong of Australia and 17-year-old Chris Evert of Ft Lauderdale Fla a match tennis buffs have been waiting 12 months to see Evonne suffered agonies in beating Franco ise Durr of France 8-6 7-5 while Chris took Patti Hogan of La Jolla Calif 6-2 4-6 6-1 The defending champion is looking forward to Wednesday's center court clash Miss Cioolagong says she has no special plans to deal with Chris the new darling of the record crowds that have attended the 86th renewal of the championships Before the tournament Kodes deligently practised five hours a day for a week on a friend's private grass court close to the Wimbledon grounds This sweaty effort has
