Tsui Brothers Enter Doubles Final Girls International

Poor Exhibition By Sewell And MacDougall

Low Standard In Hongkong

(By "Tinker")

IT IS A FLATTERING claim to make that one has reached the semi-finals of the Colony Tennis Champion- ships, but it is far from flattering to the Colony's tennis to realise that a pair with the ability of G. W. Sewell and .D. M. MacDougall were over able to travel that far.

One has reached the stage, however, where one does not expect great things from the Colony players, but there should, at least, be some standard of play when it comes to the semi- finals of the local Championships.

The Tuul brothers entered the

final last night at the expense [♦♦♦

were 6-2, 6-1, 6-2, and at least three of those games were given away by the former champions.

Ita, perhaps the unfortunate luck of the draw that the better of the pairs 'should have been drawn in the top half of the com petition. But those who watched the match last night would hesis- tale to draw a mental picture of the standard of tennis that Sewell and MacDougall overcame to reach the second last round

if that which was produced fasi night was sufficient to carry them through,

The losers had hardly a winner in their mak-up-the occasions onj which they really won a point could be counted on one hand. The Tsui brothers toyed with the opposition, and took the opportunity of indulg- ing in practice shots and service. Several of the balls which were go- Ing outside were taken in volley practice.

General Regret

WOULD state here that this is not) coustic comment on the play off Sewell and MacDougall, but rather a sorrowful soliloquy on Hongkong's tennis. Year after year we have the same people in the Anal rounds, with no improvement over previous years. There is, It is truc,

a certain standard that has been attained, but this is confined to too fow.
