The Chinese adapted himself bel- ter to the prevailing conditions high wind made it diffleult to play accurate tennis.

Austin did not find that all- important touch on which he relles from start to finish. Perhaps he was feeling the effects of his gruel- ing Ave set match of the previous day against Petra (France).

Kho, although he is not in the world's first ten players, is a very much better performer than inany in this country realise.

Hls dipping top-spin_drive, which won so many points oft Austin, was just the shot to function in the wlad. His spinning drop shot is a gem.

Austin is not the first leading player to fall to the wiles and gulles of cho Sin-kle, who has been in big tennis since 1935,

matches, the Indians should not lose many of their fixtures as H. D. Rum- Jahn and A. H. Madar are good for sets. To the Sookunpoo camp. the most pleasing feature of the game against the U.S.R.C. was the promis- ing display of A. R.

R. Minu and I. M. A. Razack, the third string pair. Both Minu and Razack are what may be called "It" players. If they are good, they are very good; if they are bad, they are simply atrocious. The success or failure of the I.R.C. challenge will depend much on the future exhibitions of this pair in the League.
