Remarkable Match
WRETCHED FORM OF PAUL KONG
(By "Veritas")
When yesterday I hesitating.
ly suggested that the stand court match between the Lo brothers and Paul Kong and Lai Kwong-tsun would pro- vide an anti-climax to the match played on Monday I was thinking solely in terms of spectacular tennis. Up to a pont it was an anti-climax, but this was more than offset. by the astonah.ng'outcome of the match which saw the 1920 holders of the open doubles championship beat A much fancied pair in straight sets, each of twelve games.
Unaccountable lapses on the part) of Paul Kong male a big contribution to the result, but it must also be acknowledged that the Lo brothers were sufficiently allvo to opportuni- ties to take fullest advantage of them. While it is true they were alded in their quest by the Inconsistencies of the opposition, full credit in deserv ing for the manner in which the win- nor maintained a steady type of game.
REMARKABLE PHASES
There were two remarkable phases in this match. In the first act the opening eight games went against service, and in the second set the ultimate, winners went to a lead of 5-1 and heki three match points on Lal's service. Everything pointed to a walk over, but
La and Kong saved the game and went on to capture the next three in a row and so to draw up at five all. Lai'a service followed and widr the Lo brothers clearly feel-

ing the physical strain of the long TO DRAW- rallies, seemed as though they were to have the match dramatically snatched out of their hands.
But they broke through again to win Lal's service in the eleventh game and, despite tralling love-30 on M. K. Lo's service, drow up, took two match points and won the encounter when M. W. Lo tucked away a short lob, at the net.
Lai Kwong-tsun f irly "carried" Kong throughout the match, but lacking any sound forecourt strokes he was unable to assume the offin sive from the net with the result that after long bouts of bossline driving with M. K. Lo, he continually found his less acurate drives cut off by the enterprising M.. W. Lo.
