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 ever 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.

Walter Hammond With

The Tsui brothers entered the final last night at the expense ¦ ♦♦ of Sewell and MacDougall in three straight sets. The scores were 6-2, 6-1, 6-2, and at least three of those games were given away by the former champions.

It is, perhaps, the unfortunate luck of the draw that the betler of the pairs should have been drawn in the top half of the com- petlilon. But those who watched the match last night would hesis- late to draw a mental picture of the standard of tennis that Sewell MacDougall overenme to reach the second last round

The losers had hardly a winnier in their innk-up-the ocensions on which they really won a point could be counted on one hand. The Tsul 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.
