Sport in brief
Simpson’s success
NZPA-Reuter Newport The New Zealander, Russell Simpson, toppled thirdseeded Mike Bauer, of the United States, and India’s Vijay Amritraj upset the eighth-seeded Danie Visser, of South Africa, yesterday in first-round play of the $NZ188,370 International Hall of Fame tennis championships. Simpson, aged 30,
powered a series of service returns to gain a third game service break and relied on volleys at the net to secure a concluding 7-3 tiebreaker series and stop Bauer, 6-4, 7-6, in his first competition this year on grass. Amritraj, also aged 30, relied on an arsenal of ground strokes in overcoming Visser’s second-set coun-ter-attack for a 6-3, 6-7, 6-3, victory.
