The Chinese pair opened with a lead of 3 love, "but it was evident. that the struggle had not begun. 10.12 The British pair had not got set, while Ng Sze Cheung was lament- ably off colour, Each won a gaine and the British pair pulled the score to 4-3 still in favour of the Chinese who increased it to 5-3. By this time all the four exponents had warmed up and by an effort Hancock and Tottenham equalised. Still the struggle continued and each pair held the advantage game at different times without being able to secure the set. From 9 all the server won his game and the Chinese led all the way until the score reached 13 all. Then Ng Se Cheung lost his service after a long game and the British pair held their own service to snatch the first set after over an hour's play.

Ng Sze Kwong took the first game on his service bus Hancock Te taliated, his strong service forcing

Sze Cheung became noticeably weak and the British pair at once took the lead at 3-1 principally on their opponents errors.
