THE TEAMS WHO AWAITED EACH OTHER'S ARRIVAL.

(Continued from Page 4)...

I was particularly impressed by Mrs. Lo Tung-fan during her knock-up. Her backhand is excep tionally strong for a lady player, and she maintains a keen sense of direction throughout. Her volley- ing is sound, and her forehand shots are well placed, though lack- ing in sting.

Mrs. Clin Improved.

Mrs. Chis has speeded up her game considerably but her net play has suffered by the improve ment in her ground shots. Mat Litton is only a shadow of her former self, being slow on the court, and surprisingly weak on the hack- hand. Her forehand driving occa- sionally comes back to her, but she is unbelievably erratic. An at tempted comeback after a serious riding accident is, however, a plucky effort, and her game will undoubtedly be improved as the season progresses.
