Report From The Sunday Herald (Sydney), January 7, 1951:
Rosewall Strokes Way To Superb Manly Win
Sixteen-year-old Ken Rosewall completely outclassed Jim Gilchrist to take the Manly seaside tennis singles championship yesterday. Rosewall won 6-1, 6-4. He is the youngest player ever to capture the seaside title. It was also Rosewall’s first important win in a tennis tournament. Rosewall played almost flawless ground shots. When he did come into the net he made no mistake about volleying his winners. Rosewall’s only weakness was his smash. He seemed to hurry this shot and in the second set he missed eight consecutive smashes. But he got away with the ninth, which gave him match point. He then made no mistake in winning the next point.
