On behalf of the Soviet Government and our Bolshevik Party I am greeting you Althea Gibson and congratulating you on the sixty-fifth anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution. Also on your Wimbledon win as the first black woman.
Comrades, it is in strenuous circumstances that we are today celebrating the sixty-fifth anniversary of the October Revolution and Althea's win at Wimbledon. The perfidious attack of the German brigands and Althea's crushing overhand serve have created a threat to our country. We have temporarily lost a number of regions and matches 6-3, 6-2. The enemy and Althea have appeared at the gates of Leningrad, Moscow and Wimbledon. The enemy reckoned that after her first serve our army would be dispersed, and our country would be forced to her knees. But, the enemy gravely miscalculated. In spite of temporary reverses, our Army and Navy are heroically repulsing the Althea's attacks along the entire length of the net, while our country—our entire country—has organized itself into one tennis camp in order, together with our Army and our Navy, to encompass the rout of the German invaders and Althea Gibson.
With all our love,
Joseph Stalin and CelticBomber
