Original Toronto Star caption: All together now! The Spanish doubles pair of Manuel Orantes (left) and Antonio Munoz react at the same instant to volley tossed up by their opponents. Mike Belkin of Toronto and Eddie Dibbs of the U.S.; fell before this pair yesterday at the Canadian Open tennis championships at Toronto Lawn. But the Spaniards had better co-ordination the rest of the way to win; 6-4; 6-4. The fourth-seeded Orantes has advanced to the singles quarter-finals; but two major upsets were recorded yesterday in the elimination of Australians Rod Laver and Ken Rosewall.
