In the men's doubles semi-final the Americans Richards and Hunter beat the South Africans Raymond and Spence 6-4, 6-4, 6-2.
The African pair were beaten but not dis graced. Raymond's weak ankle was again a handicap but the Africans nevertheless hit hard and valleyed magnificently, Spence making some miraculous returns. Richards was the star of the match and frequently left the Africans standing by, middle-cour drives. Hunter was safe and accurate and both killed most effectively at the net.
