Tennis Singles Final Abandoned At Two Sets

Dour Struggle Between

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 Singles 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 de- curacy and the prolonged rallics were fine to watch.

Attendance in the Stand was poor. Prices lind been increased to $5 and $2, with the seats on the other side of the court raised from 50 cents to $1. The proceeds are for the Bomber Fund,

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

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

5-1, 5-2, 5-3 and won at 6-3. The 4th and 5th games were love games, while in the 6th Wal-pui was only able to take one point. In the 7th, Yun-pui led 40-15 on his own ser- vice, but failed with both set points and lost four in a row for the game. me He came back strongly in the last game, however, which was another love-game, and scored the last point beautiful backhand shot down

with the tramlincs.

Neither player wasted energy. In fact, they took so much time in going for the shots, especi- ally in the case of Yun-pul, that the delay was often fatal. It left no margin for a clean stroke, and gavo the other side time to recover any Tost position.

Second Set

YUN-PUI opened in the second set as though the match were only going to three sets. He led 3-1 be- fore Wol-pui rallied and with great determination and control took the 5th game after deuce had been called twice. Errors were at this period mostly into the net, but it must

Restrained Tactics

E restrained tactics that had been noticeable throughout were more prominent in the third set. Yun-pul apparently was re- serving himself for a long struggle, and even the baseline shots had lost some of their “zlp,"

He took a 2-0 lead, but the third game was a long affair. Deuce was called no less than seven times be-
