Doubles: Hopman and Quist beat Ilughes and Wilde, 6—3, 6—3, 7—5; MeGrath and Turnbull defeated Perry and Lee, 6 —4, 7—5. Australia won the Test by nine rubbers to three.
The weather _was perfect. Perry was in excellent form and continually outwitted Quist, hitting all his shots with precision. He showed great footwork.

Except for occasional rallies he never revealed Test form. '
