COLONY TENNIS OPENS

KONG AND SZETO WIN DULL MATCH AGAINST LAST YEAR'S FINALISTS

(By “ADREM”)

THE COLONY Open Tennis Tournament started yes- terday—not in a blaze of glory as I should have liked to re- port-but in a manner every bit as dull as the weather, “and that was pretty foul!

proved Only match expected to provide any interest a tame affair, Paul Kong and Szeto Bick putting out last year's runners-up, Ho Ka-lau and Lee Yue-wing, in straight sets in a game in which anything approaching sparkling tennis was conspicuous by its absence. The score was 6-2, 6-1.

The winners got away to a good start in the first' set when they took Ho's service and led 2-0. They then proceeded to play themselves in, tak- ing no chances and lobbing when in the slightest difficulty.

There were occasions when Ho touched his best form of last season but that form proved entirely inade- quate yesterday. His heavily-topped forehand drive lacked the power to drive home openings and his smash was the same, while his volley mere- ly had the effect of keeping the ball in play.

Lee was a shadow of his former self and was never impressive. His ground strokes were erratic and his volleying weak, while his lobbing was short. He gave the impression of being pletely out of touch with the game.
