MERLIN TAKES BOROTRA TO FIVE SETS

BRUGNON DEFEATED BY ANDREWS: VINES "TUNING UP.”

By A. WALLIS MYERS.

London, June 21.

WIMBLEDON opened yesterday under a veiled sun, and

perhaps it was just as well, in the chill air which brought more than one rug into the stands, that spectators could enjoy first-day pedestrianism.

The original field of 128 in the men's singles was near- ly halved, but the guillotine removed few distinguished heads. Perhaps the chlef was that of Brugnon, who, like an even greater Musketeer from France last year, was beaten in the first round in three sets.

Borotra, another but more volatile Musketeer, was wounded, but not mortally, by young Andre Merlin, who has made Cochet his model, and ---- in a match at Lyons a few weeks ago - one of his victims.

E. D. Andrews, a son of Wild- ing's country, New Zealand, hus ejected champions from No. 1 court before. He dismissed Frank Hunter, of America, in this arena four years ago. Yesterday he had a ready reply for every defiant stroke by Brugnon, and used his top-spin forehand drive as a pierc- ing forcing shot. The Frenchman could seldom elude or deceive his agile opponent, and when, towarda the end of the second set, Brugnon was exerting more pressure, An- drews responded ardently,

For a phase his best re- tarned, but he was spent and fell, Borotra and Merlin fought the only doubtfal match on the centre The Basque was depressed court.
