will be played. match
If Ho Kalau atrikes normal form, Leonard will probably be deceived by the accuracy of his placements, and he is almost cer- inin to and himself up against a sustained not attack.
Leonard will rely on his clever retrieving and his skill in keeping the ball in play to earn most of his points, but whether his usual con- sistency from the baseline will be sufficient to upset Ho Ka-lau, ia open to considerably doubt,
Ho has bullt his own game up on patient baseline play, and he can sustain the rallies as long many player in Hongkong.
Conditions may disturb lo as they did to some extent on Menday, In which case Leonard may snatch a set. But ordinarily it will come an a surprise if Ho Ka-inu does not win in straight sets.
