INDIFFERENT TENNIS AT U.S.R. C.
C. TOURNAMENT
FANCIED PAIRS GET THROUGH RATHER EASILY
DID NOT SHOW FORM of A HIGH STANDARD
(By "Abe")
Of the three matches played in the doubles of the United Services R.C. hardcourt tennis championships yesterday, in only one could the issue bo said to be open to doubt before the first ball was hit; but peculiarly enough it was this match which proved to be most one-sided.
sre
Pan Ol-lam and Mok Fuk-in, of Kowloon Tong, and F. Grose and D. S. Sze are combinations which comparatively new to local tenais enthusiasts, and fufficient had been seen of them in the earlier rounds for one to form any judgment regarding the outcome of their clash yesterday. Yet it was fairly evident that Gross and Sze were not playing in their best form. The former was definite- ly below his usual League standard and was very weak in his work at the net. Sze was steady at the start, But he also fell off badly in the second sel.
Thus without "being themselves particularly brillant, Pang and Mok straight sets, won fairly easily in conceding only four games In the process. Pung's ground strokes were adequate for the occasion, while Mok brought off some volleys which proved winners every time.
