REMARKABLE TENNIS IN OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP

TSUI BROTHERS HAVE

MATCH IN HAND

WIN SIX GAMES IN ROW TO ENTER THE SEMI-FINAL

(By "Veritas")

In no other match during the current cham- pionships has fluctuating fortune been so featured as in yesterday's open doubles quarter- final tie between the Tsui brothers and Paul Kong and Lee Wai-tong. From directly favour- ing Kong and Lee, the game swung round to aid the brothers and to see them turn the loss of the .first set into a lead of 5-1 in 'the final stanza;

then, when all seemed over, Kong and his partner staged a "comeback", taking six games in a row and winning an extraordinary match by 6-3, 5-6, 7-5.
