FORMER HONGKONG TENNIS IDOL PULLS GAME ROUND

J.R.C. PLAYERS HAVE A BAD DAY

(By "VERITAS",)

THE magnetism of championship doubles tennis, which is peculiar to itself and quite distinct from the attraction-of the singles game, lured a large number of enthusiasts to the Club ground yesterday, where they saw an encounter, which, for its varying of fortunes, bordered almost on the sensational.

THEY saw J. A. Cassumbhoy and I. M. A. Razack, the young I.R.C., pair take the first set and lead 5-2 în the second against Taui Wai-pui and Ng Sze-kwong, only to suddenly break down, concede the second set and finally the match.

Denis Hazell, of discovering whether the court was as good as it looks.

It is in fact it is better. The smooth wood surface ensuring a perfect bounce means a joyful experience to tlie player who drives, and although the strange heas of the light is at first a slight handicap, one quickly becomes accustomed to its peculiarity.

PERFECT COURT.

The "Britain's" court is perfect in every detall. Bounded on all sides by high and strong wire! notting, with green sight screens at each end; n ve to six yards run back from the baselines, and. a guaranteed pure bounce to every ball, the value to one's game in playing under auch conditions, is inestimable.

NO STRATEGY.

Numbers of participants in the championships here play to a con- ventional act of dictaten instead of to the score. When Cassumb- hoy and Razack led by one set, and 5-2, there was not the slightest renson why they should have adopted a plan of safety first.. They should, if anything, have: thrown discretion to the winds! and brought into play their fiercest; and most concentrated attack.

Toui and Ng were already on the defensive, and this "play for keeps" on the part of the LIL.C. pair, allowed them to turn de- fence into attack.

They started very slowly yesterday. and were far too individualistic. Although giving them credit for seizing their opportunities after heing placed in a well nigh hopefcas position, it remains a fact that they owed their entry into the second round more to their opponents than to them- acives.

Ng Sze-kwong, as expected, was the steadier of the two, Tsul al-j though spectacular, being very! #pasmodic.

The collapse of Cassumbhoy was one of the most astonishing features of an astonishing match. He seemed to become paraletic in the alghth game of the second act and was nover able to recapture his equilibrim He was the In- apiration of the Josing side in the first set, producing a series of sparkling shots both off the ground and overhead, but it was Razack, who, recovering from a slow start, did all the fighting in the closing stages and levelled up an 8-1 deficit in the third set.

This young pair has tremend- ous promise, but commonsense strategy must form a phase of their game if they are to pro- gress in the future.
