HUI'S

THE CHINA MAIL, APRIL 14, 1989.
SMASHING
Au Flatters Only To Deceive In Singles Final
Lim And Bun Play Pluckily But Winners Were Never Worried
(By “ADREM”)
Last night's badminton finals at Taikoo Club served to emphasise a fact, which to most local bad- minton players, is not news:
BADMINTON RESULTS.
SENIOR SINGLES
P. K. Hul (holder) beat C. Au,
15-8, 15-6.
DOUBLES
P. K. Hui and K. L. Yong (hold- ers) beat M. S. Lim and P. S. Bun 16-10, 18—15.
Namely, that Hui is probably one of the finest BISLEY MEETING players who will ever perform in the Colony.
Last night he won two further finals to make a clean sweep of all titles for the second successive year a truly remarkable achievement.
-
In the first game last night, the opening exchanges flattered only to deceive. Au started off in great style and for the first 14. points matched his opponent in all phases of the game.

His clearing shots were powerful. He scored repeatedly with a stroke that dropped into Hui's backhand corner when that player was start- ing to move in to the net. His short game was also clever, fine angle-work being the principal scor- ng factor.

It was that smash of Hui's which actually won him the match. In most other phases of the game, Au, as he showed in that opening period, at least Hul's equal.

It is disconcerting to have one's deepest lobs "killed" with sickening regularity with smashes so accurate that for the most part they were nick- ing the sidelines, and Au" did become disconcerted.
BAD JUDGMENT
To make matters worse, ho found great difficulty in judging the weight of his clearing shots. Not once but

NECOGNA!
Hui smashed as effectively as in his first match but Yong was very careless with his positional play and such combination as was revealed was not consistent with that expected from champions.
Bun and Lim both tried hard and played gallantly to come up from be hind in the second game to "set" at 13-all but they were unable to su&- tain the effort and faded out.
At worst, one felt that Hui and Yong were certain to emerge victors and this detracted a great deal from the interest. .
