Fujikura Shows A New Stroke

The Japanese Davis Cuppers, Yamagishi, Nishimura and Fuji- kura who arrived in the Colony yesterday morning by the N.Y.K. Uner Terukunf Máru, were seen in exhibition lawn tennis matches at the Kowloon Cricket Club yesterday afternoon when a very large gathering of tennis Tans were present."

The standard of tennis displayed was not as good as that of Nunol and Jiro Satoh in the exhibition tennis games played at the Hong Kong Cricket Club at the beginning of 1933.

Yamagishi was easily the best of the Japanese trio, his execution being perfect while his volleying and half volleying was superb throughout.

Nishimura was also very good, displaying a dangerous back- hand while his killing at the net-left nothing to be desired.

Fajikura, the youngest member of the trio played a very steady game throughout and exhibited for the first time in the Colony the double-handed back-hand smash, which is one of Vivian McGrath's-Australian Davis Copper-most famous strokes.
