Tennis Singles Final Abandoned At Two Sets All

Dour Struggle Between Tsui Brothers On Stand Court

(By ("Tinker")

THE SUDDEN GATHERING of clouds around the Peak which caused an overshadowing of the Stand Court brought about the abandonment of the Open Tennis Singlas Final yesterday between the Tsui brothers after each had won two sets.

It was a great struggle in its baseline duels. Tsui Yun-pui showed the greater inclination to advance to the net, but he was definitely the weaker in that position. He lost several points when almost on top of the net, whereas Wai-pui scored with well controlled volleys when similarly placed.

The baseline shots were of a high standard. Each exploited the backhand with great ac- curacy and the prolonged rallies were fine to watch.

Attendance in the Stand was poor. Prices had been increased to $5 and 32, with the seats on the ather side of the court raised from 50 cents to $1. The proceeds aro for the Bomber Fund.

By far the finest shot of the match was Yun-pul's backhand drive as he advanced to the net. It pavod, the way to what should have been win- ning ahots but for his weakness at the net.

his brother's

Wai-pul matched speed with court-craft and controlled short drop shots that were another feature of the match. For the open- ing game, however, he was definite- Jy on the defensive, and played only well as his younger brother would permit.

Yun-pul led 1-0, 2-8, 2-1, 3-1, 4-1, 5-1, 5-2, 5-3 and won at 6-3.

The 4th and 5th games were love games, while in the 6th Wal-pul was only able to take one point. In the 7th, Yun-pul led 10-15 on his own ser- vice, but failed with both set points and lost four in a row for the game. He came back strongly in the lost game, however, which was another love-game, and scored the last point with a beautiful backhand shot down the tramlines.
