FORMER HONGKONG TENNIS IDOL PULLS GAME ROUND-
I.R.C. PLAYERS HAVE A BAD DAY
(By “VERITAS".)-
THE magnetism of championship doubles .tennis, which is peculiar to itself and quite distinct from the attraction of the singles game, lured a large number of enthusiasts to the Club ground yesterday, where they saw an encounter, which, for its varying of fortunes, bordered almost on the sensational.
THEY saw J. A. Cassumbhoy and I. M. A. Razack, the young I.R.C., pair take the first set and lead 5-2 in the second against Taui Wai-pui and Ng Sze-kwong, only to suddenly break down, concede the second set and finally the match.

PERFECT court.
The "Britain's" court is perfect in every detail. Bounded on all sides by high and strong wire notting, with green sight screens at each end; a five to six yards run back from the baselines, and a guaranteed pure bounce to every ball, the value to one's game in playing under such conditions, is inestimable..

and brought into play their fercest and most concentrated attack.
Tsui and Ng were already on the defensive, and this "play for keeps" on the part of the..R.C. pair, allowed them to turn de- fence into attack.
The winners will probably reach the semi-final stage, but they will have to show a big improvement if they are to advance beyond it. They started very slowly yesterday, and were far too individualistic. Although giving thern credit for seizing their opportunities after being placed in a well nigh hopeless position, it remains a fact that they owed their entry into the second round more to their opponents than to them- selves.
STEADY NG.
Ng Sze-kwong, as expected, was the steadier of the two, Tsui al- though spectacular, being very spasmodic.
