Even though he had just beaten Connors 6-1, 6-1, 5-7, 6-4 for the championship of the world’s premier tennis tour nament, there weren’t many questions about his stunning triumph. So there weren’t many answers. As usual, Ashe, the slen der —even willowy—son of a Richmond, Va. policeman, was asked for his comments on a wide spectrum of off-the court topics such as the plight of poor blacks and whites in tennis, tennis challenge matches, the Davis Cup, World Team Tennis, and Bill Riordan, Connors’ manager. Ashe, who boggled the minds of a few unsuspecting shoppers as he strolled through a Pittsburgh de partment store Monday filling a promotional commitment, later paused long enough to meet with reporters over a doughnut and a cup of coffee. In his wooden sandals, blue jeans and blue denim jacket, and using his calm, assured smile as his only emotional punctuation, Ashe turned to each subject. c The first, briefly, was Wim bledon. “Winning Wimbledon was the one thing I wanted to do before I hung up my racket, but I’ll be going full-force next year,” Ashe said. “It’s not my greatest victory. I would have to rank it a co-No. 2 along with Forest Hills in 1968. My first Davis victory was No. 1. Enjoy Italian Food Peter Nastase, owner and chef of the invites you to experience a taste of homemade, authentic Italian That Davis Cup victory also came in 1968 when Ashe took the U.S. team to Adelaide. Australia antj returned with the Cup to break more than a decade of Australian domination. Ashe also talked at length about World Team Tennis. “I don’t like World Team Tennis for me,” Ashe said. "I think the timing was all wrong. Our Pro Association was only six years old. Then along comes the Nouveau Riche who want a toy to play with. There’s no stability to it. Every team is losing a half million dollars every year, and when they lose, they sell out, they don’t stick around. “Suppose Willie Stargell was traded every year just for the hell of it. Who wants to watch a man from Australia who changes teams every year? How can you build any loyalty? I personally wouldn’t get any satisfaction from playing for a team with my salary already fixed." Ashe, as he has often done in the past, also expressed disdain for the tennis challenge concept. “It appears they're trying to load TV with packaged tennis matches,” he said. "But our bread and butter is the tennis tournament. This only means that the rich get richer. Con nors has already made three quarters of a million dollars, so why should he continue playing this year? He can go to the beach for six months. The latest gossip is Connors won’t be playing again until Forest Hills, which won't do anything to help the summer tour.” Ashe said he talked with Connors in the lockerroom at Wimbledon two weeks ago about the possibility of discussing their differences together without lawyers, agents or league officials present. Ashe said Connors agreed to a meeting at first. “Then Bill Riordan called and nixed it,” Ashe said. “I think all of his off-court notoriety is not of his own devices,” Ashe said in reference to Connors and Riordan. “He’s handled like a prizefighter, and he picks his fights very carefully. He’s •misguided by his manager, but basically, I think Connors is a nice guy...We wanted Jim my to play Davis Cup last year. He’s the best in the world."
