THE BRITISH PÁIR HELD MATCH POINT WHEN LEAD- ING 7 SETS TO 6, AND AGAIN AT 14 ŠETS TO 13, BUT THE FRENCHMEN FOUGHT BACK GALLANTLY, ONLY TO LOSE IN THE FINAL STRETCH. OTHER POPULAR BRITISH VIC- TORIES WERE RECORDED IN THE LADIES' SINGLES WHERE MISS KAY STAMMERS, MISS O'CONNELL AND MISS PETERS WERE ON THE WINNING SIDE.
Kho Sin-kie and Karl Schroeder, who are partnered in the Doubles, safely negotiated their first round encounter against the New Zealand pair, Coombe and Giesen, winning in straight sets: Japan, judging by yesterday's scores, are offering a serious threat in this event where Jiro Yamagishi and H. Nakano only conceded five games to their opponents..
