A delay of at least 24 hours and perhaps longer seemed in- evliable. however. as . rains continued to soak the Mil- ton Courts. The weather bureau forecast more rain for today and Thursday.

Australia sprang a surprise

and named the 29year-oid Fra-‘

scr. winner of the Wimbledon and U.S. championships in 1960. to play the singles instead of Roy Emerson. who personally asked to be excused because of a rib iniu .

Fraser was drawn to play Antonio Palafox, Mexico‘s No. 2 player. in the opening singles unit the top players of the two c; - er exico’s Rafael Osuna—matched in the second contest.

The draw appeared to be a definite break for the favored Australians. although Mexico had the satisfaction of knowing i f team not at full strength.

Both rival captains. veteran Barry Bopman of Australia and myear-old lPencho Contreras of Mexico. issued ringing predic- tions of victory.

“i am confident we can win even though I would have pre- ferred Osuna to play Fraser in the o nin match." said Contreras. "I believe Osuna has a 50-50 chance against Lever and Palafox should beat Fraser."

Hopman. who hes master- minded Australia to 10 Davis Cup victories in the last 12 years. said: “Any Australian looking at records of the two teams would have to pick Aus- tralia. 1 think we will have a

tough fight but we should win."
