TENNIS
Annual Tournament at H.K.C.C. Commences
The tennis tournament arranged by the Hong Kong Cricket Club com- menced yesterday, when several first- round ties were decided.
Main interest centred in the match Between T. Honda, an ex-champion of the Colony, and H. La. Renda managed to win in straight sets, 10-8, 0-2, 6-4, but had to fight hard to win, narticular- ly
in the opening set. Honda was rather weak on his back hand to com- mence with, but as usual his strong forehand drive was a decisive factor, especially toward the end, when Lo began to tire.
It was largely a base-line duel, but Honda was much superior in the few approaches to the net. After Lo hail lost the first set, he tried to force the pare, but by now Hondta had his mea- sare, and gradually asserted a definite superiority.
