Sammy Giammalva Serving Ball

(Original Caption) Shining Exception. Forest Hills, New York: Sammy Giammalva, 21-year-old Texan, is shown as he begins his service today in match against Sid Schwartz in the National Singles Championship at Forest Hills Stadium. These matches have been called the "graveyard" of young tennis hopes, but Giammalva seems to be the exception. He was labelled one of this country's finest young prospects by Davis Cup Captain Billy Talbert. He took today's match 6-3, 6-2, 2-6, and 6-4.
