“Amalniir tennis Oll|Cia'< in the United States are retarding the progrc.ss of the game by not hnr. ins: an‘ open," said the 36-yr-nr-old Riggs in an lntcr\'ic\\'.

"Why should there be (li<Cl'lfll- inntion aglinst lcnnis pi'nsT It would be the best thing in tlic world for the game and iiniild help spur interest."

Teaming with Riggs in a ffll'llll(l- able doubles att.ick in alil of ilir open was Frank Scdginziii onc nf the stars of the touring pros and

former mainstay of Australia's great Davis Cup squads. Scdgnian, who has annnunrml

his intention of retiriiig from the pro tcniiis circuit this fall nnd l'r-— turning to Australia, said such an open would provide playcrs like himself with an opportunity to tnke part in competitive tennis. END I-‘OR. SEDGMAN

“As things are now. it will be about the end of coinpclitvc IPlllll< for me whcn I rcturn to Mel- bourne," said Sedgman.

Riggs said he first propmcil the open tournament in 1940 when he turned professional.

"But we won‘t see it. take place for another 20 yczirs. It is l:i;i- bf‘- ing up against I1 stone wall."

Riggs said all the so-callccl amn- teur stars were scml-proicssloiinls.
