Israel puts up fight
in Davis Cup clash
RAMAT HASHARON—
Austrian champion Hans Kary
needed only half an hour Sunday
March 19, to dash Israel's Davis
Cup hopes, beating Shlomo
Glickstein in the fifth set of the
final rubber to take his country to a
desperately narrow 3-2 victory.
A crowd of nearly 1,500 turned
up at the Israel Tennis Center here
to see the last act of this dramatic
third-round, European zone group
“A” tie. When darkness ended play
on Saturday night, 20-year-old
Glickstein was leading the highly
rated Austrian 6-3, 9-7, 4-6, 5-6.
But once a confident loo.king Kary
had taken his opponent's serve to
wrap up the fourth set, the writing
was on the wall and that vastly
experienced Austrian was just too
strong for him.
After the stormy tie, Austria's
playing captain Rudi Hoskowetz
said, “We were very lucky to beat
Israel. The result could easily have
gone the other way if the Kary-
Glickstein match had been finished
on Saturday evening.” ’
Glickstein said he really felt he
could have beaten Kary if the light
had held out on Saturday.
Austria now meets Britain in
Bristol in June in the European
zone quarter-finals.
In an incident-packed weekend,
the other highlight was the success
of Israel’s new No. I racquet Steve
Krulevitz—a recent immigrant
from the U.S.—who had the
distinction of winning both his
singles to keep the hosts in the tie.
On Friday morning. Krulevitz, 26,
completed a 4-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-1, 6-2
victory over Kary, then Saturday
he beat Austrian No. 2 Peter Feigl,
also 26, 6-4, 8-6, 6-3. Some 6,000
people watched the weekend's
play, with Saturday’s total of
nearly 3,500 being the biggest
crowd to date at a local tennis
match.
In the doubles on Friday
afternoon, the experienced Kary-
Feigl pairing proved too strong for
Krulevitz and Yair Wertheimer,
winning 8-6, 6-4, 7-5 in a 135
minute contest. The Israelis fell
away after being two points from
the first set at 5-4 and 30-love.
The disputes over line calls
which were a feature of Thursday’s
tennis continued on Friday and
Saturday. On several pecasions
matches were held up for as long as
five minutes as Israel captain Yosef
Stabholz. and his opposite number,
Rudi Hozkowetz, as well as the
players, protested the linesmen’s
decisions and appealed to umpires.
International Tennis Federation
referee Michele Brunetti, of Italy,
had difficulty in controlling the
warring factions—and to add to
the unprecedented confusion, he
sometimes found himself at odds
with the umpires. The crowd often
showed their own displeasure by
loud booing, and once Israel Lawn
Tennis Association chairman
Avram Feiger came on to the court
to appeal to the gallery not to voice
their opinions over line calls.
In a particularly unhappy
incident, Kaspi publicly
reprimanded Kary for telling him
to “shut-up" during yet another
argument.
Brunetti, who is refereeing his
sixth Davis Cup match, said that it
did not seem to be appreciated here
that he alone had the final word in
any dispute. He also deplored the
tendency of the umpires to try to
overrule the decisions of linesmen,
thus undermining the latter’s
authority.
On Friday, Krulevitz hit top
form as he reeled off eight games in
a row against Kary, who was
leading by two sets to one when the
match resumed. Kary, winner of
more than 20 of his 38 rubbers in a
Davis Cup career spanning a
decade, was totally outgunned.
Krulevitz, after struggling for
two hours against the Austrian on
Thursday, took just an hour to
level the tie, following Glickstein’s
opening defeat by Feigl.*
(Krulevitz had it somewhat easier
against Feigl Saturday, beating
him in 150 minutes in a good
match.)
