This last match of Borotra's was said to out thrill even that so I can assure you it must have been
a thrilling encounter.
The Japanese Davis Cup players were all fairly easily beaten in the first and second rounds, and they do not seem to be as good at Singles this year as in former years. Possibly this may serve to "illustrate the type of game of the Star Players in singles, when com- pared to the Singles we are accus- tomed to see in the East. Tennis played consistantly from the back of the Court never has and never will take a player to the top. To win a big Championship, the bet is the dominating position and. there the player must get to win. In the East the Climate for the
European, either touring or resid- ent, makes this impossible and ex- plains why the Europeans play so much below their form out here. and this gives such an entirely

L.m Bong Soo the Champion of Malaya, beat Andrews the New Zealand Dav's Cup player on two occasions, and after winning the National Championship of China, it was suggested by some interest- ed and wealthy Chinese in Malaya that he was so good that there should be a subscription raised to send him to Wimbledon.
However, it was pointed out that a steady base line player like Bong Soo would be. hopeless in big Tournaments at Home, and this was demonstrated by his convip cing defeat by Nishimura when the Japanese Davis Cup team returned after their European tour last year.
Nishimura was himself beaten four sets in the first round at this meeting.
