The National Covered Courts
Championships of Great Britain
A commentary on the final of the Men's Singles by F. H. Grisewood from Queen's Club, West Kensington
By mid-October, the days of outdoor tennis are more or less over for another year, and tennis under cover becomes the thing. The championship to be commented on today by that tennis enthusiast and popular broadcaster, F. H. Grisewood (who, by the way, held a radio discussion on Thursday with Peggy Scriven-he the 'rabbit' and she the ' star') ') marks the opening of the covered-court season and is one of the outstanding autumn events in the tennis world. It is an annual affair played on a wooden surface. Most of our big players will be competing and also some foreign players of repute.
