Lau appeared to be off his game inst evening and seemed to be troubled by the court, his confidence seemed to be shaken and throughout most of the game he was on the defensive. He played most of his shots to Yeow's back- hand, alternating lobs with short drops which often won points, but Yeow was equal to the situation and gradually obtained control of the game.
