And Bob Hewitt allowed that, "It was do or die, but still, it was just a tennis match. " But neither comment was made with much conviction. It was Frew McMillan who put some fervor in the post match discussion Monday night after he and fellow South Hewitt had been African whipped in an exciting five setter by Ramirez and Brian Gottfried of Fort Lauderdale, FSa., for the World Championship Tennis doubles title. "We hated to loss," said McMillan, with just a little bile in his voice. The match was hastily arranged by WCT last week after McMillan and Hewitt were deported from Mexico because of Mexico's differences with South Africa over that county 's apartheid 6-- The winners received a combined $25,000 and $10,000 went to the losers.
