	The Art of Lawn Tennis by Bill Tilden
		NORMAN E. Volumes have been written about N. Brookes and his tennis genius, but I would not feel right if I could not pay at least a slight tribute to the greatest tennis player and genius of all time.
		Brookes should be an inspiration to every tennis player, for he has proved the power of mind over matter in tennis: "Age cannot wither nor custom stale his infinite variety."
		Brookes is the most eminently just man on a tennis court I have ever met, for no excitement or emotion clouds his eyesight or judgment in decisions.

		He paired with Brookes again to win the Davis Cup from America soon after, but the outbreak of the First World War ended any chance he may have had of winning Wimbledon again.
		He was not regarded as a naturally brilliant player (compared to Norman Brookes for example) but succeeded because he worked hard on improving his game, and was more consistent in his play and fitter than other players.
		The first Australasian team tried to win the cup in 1905, but it was not until 1907, when Anthony Wilding paired with Norman Brookes, that the team was successful.
