His service was his most impressive weapon of attack and I have rarely. seen Tsui aced as often as he was yes- terday.
Pang might have taken that first set if he had not allowed himself to become over-anxious, probably due. to surprise at getting so far! I felt that a little more aggression in fol lowing up his service might have there brought results--in any case was nothing to lose in gambling!
