Also in Villach, in a couple of All-American battles, John Powless stopped unseeded Joe Russell’s run, besting him in straight sets, to reach the semis and unseeded King Van Nostrand, a 9 times world champion, and the finalist last year, edged Bitsy Grant Cup teammate Lester Sack 76 in the third set.

Yesterday Margaret Canby, women’s 80, Lyn Tietz and Ria Graham, women’s 75, lost close battles in the quarters.

Charleen Hillebrand, also unseeded, continued her run through the draw, beating Frances McClennan of Great Britain to reach the semis.
