Cooper anatched the first set at settled 6-4, before Wood had down, but thereafter there was only one player in it, and Wood took the match by annexing the next three sets with the loss of five games.
Against a lively rival, who was not afraid to go for his shots, Wood displayed pleasing form: the type to carry him n long way in the event. He is without doubt one of the most serious challengera for the tlile.
Boussus did exceptionally well to overcome Malfroy, New Zealand's leading representative in straight sets. Malfroy was quite unable to reply to Boussus's severa ser- vice and piercing ground strokes which made a net campaign the easiest thing imaginable. Kowloon
