H. Cochet and `J. Brugnon (France) beat G. P. Hughes and P. G. T. Kingsley (Great Britain) 6-1, 5-7, 6-3, 8-6. The match between Austin and Borotra was played in a drizzle throughout. The Frenchman was very determined in the first set and took an early lead at 3-0. Austin, however, played a confident and well-balanced game, and his clever variance of length allowed him to draw level again. A series of errors in the second set placed Borotra two sets down, but he made a sparkling recovery in the third set. He attacked fiercely and the games went to 3-all, when his clever passing shots gave him the third sel at 6-3, Borotra kept Austin away from the net in the fourth set, but the British player resorted to skilful lobbing, which proyed most successful,
