It was not "instead of", he was doing both.
It is just that Japan surrendered in August 1945 after the second atomic bomb (of 23 planned atomic bombs before the end of 1945) instead of waiting for the invasion to begin in November 1945. It took time to set up the men, weapons, and supplies for the two planned invasions (November 1945 and spring 1946) while the atomic bombs were ready to use starting on August 6, 1945.

What was Tennis like in the 1920's?
WELL IT WAS THE SAME RULES BUT THE RACKETS WERE MUCH DIFFERENT: THEY WERE WOODEN, WHICH CHANGED THE GAME A LITTLE MORE LIKE WHAT IT IS NOW, BECAUSE NOW IT IS ALL POWER HIT MEANING YOU HAVE TO HIT HARD BUT BACK THEN IT WAS ALL PLACEMENT.
Not only have the frame materials changed, but, even more importantly, the allowable size of the racquet head is much greater now than it was only about 30 years ago: this has also added power and allowed greater range in string tension, which have both contributed to the modern "brush" stroke in tennis and more back court play.
Also, all Majors prior to 1968 were only open to amateur players - which, believe it or not, was where the Prestige lay - not in the 'professional' circuit. Because of this, the greater number of players did not turn professional.
So, back in 1920, nearly all players were amateur, the grass court tournaments held the most prestige, and tennis was mainly run by 'lawn tennis associations'. As tennis developed beyond the 1920's, the better grass court players soon learned that the better technique on grass was to be the serve and volley game.
