DECISIVE DEFEAT FOR
TAM YOC FONG
TLAMBOYANT YOUTH YIELDS
TO EXPERIENCE
(By "Veritas")
Enter the first semi-finalist of the 1933 Open. Singles Tennis Championship. He is M. W. Lo, some- time holder of the coveted title, and one of the oldest participators in this annual struggle for supremacy on the local tennis courts.
Lo yesterday earned the distinction of being the first to enter the semi-finals by beating Tam Yoo-fong, the young Hanoi invader, in straight sets, and with the concession" of but three games.
The winner played better tennis than the majority of spectatons anticipated, and his success and the scores in no way flattered him. He not only outplayed, but out. paced Tam, a remarkable feat from one whom many of us felt would probably suffer from lack of speed.
Lo was not only amazingly agile about the court, but he secured a "bite" off the ground- with his drives which Tam could in no way equal, in spite of all his top spin.
"SORRY DOWNFALL
Of course the underfoot com-
Yew Man-kit, went a long way in exposing the incompleteness of Tam's stroko equipment, but Lo yesterday went much further..
More than once Tam had splendid opportunities of dropp- ing short balls with Lo well be- hind the baseline and himself at the net, but he just did not know the right. kind of stroke to adopt; he endeavoured to drive past Lo, and very natural- ly put the ball beyond the lines. "NONCHALANCE OF A COCHET," Tam's baseline driving was very

opponent, but it was the C... C. player's general- ship which played the all important part in his ad- vance to the next round. That knowledge of match play re- quirements, the correct use of tactics and a more advanced courteraf which summed up in the word "ex-. perience"; this is what caused Tam's sorry
downfall in 30 minutes.

Lo has proved time after time that he is the man for the big ocension. His psychological reac- tion to important matches is such that he la invariably seen to greater advantage than in the lesser encounters, when he often plays desultory and uninspired tennis.
That is why his form is 80 deceptive. His earlier games in the current tournament gave plain indications that he was definitely on the wine, but yester- day he returned, and gave the finest display I have seen from him in twelve months,
A continuation of such form will give him a three to one chance to appear in the final
OBSTACLE OVERCOME,
His first lask yesterday was to show Tam that if anything his ground strokes were better than

and match were his.
but Lo was inexorable in his re- ras and found no difficulty in breaking down this barage and even scoring outright with return drives which had 50 per cent add- ed pace to help them on their way.
Lo's half-volleying was de- lightful, picking the ball up from the service court with the nonchalance of 2 Cochet. Twice he scored outright win- ners with the stroke.
It was fairly good tennis, although Tam did not do justice to himself. On the other hand Lo is worthy of all the credit for the magnificent way in which he made the utmost of his opportunities and for his general play,
