Tsui Wai-pui, holder of the Colony Hardcourt Singles Cham- pionship, yesterday entered the final for the second consecutive time when he beat Wong Fuk-nam in straight sets by 6-4, 6-1, 6-3, and will now meet his younger brother, Tsui Yun-pui in the final.

WALKOVER FOR FINCHER AND REMEDIOS

Owing to the fact that George Choa has not recovered sufficiently to allow him to play to-day, E. C. Fincher and A. V. Remedios have been awarded a walk-over by Omar Rumjahn and Choa and will meet the Tsui brothers in the semi-final, probably to-morrow..
