Simpson eliminated
NZPA staff correspondent London
Russell Simpson’s bid to repeat past successes at the Queen's Club tennis tournament in London ended when he was beaten, 7-6, 6-2, by a young Englishman, Andrew Castle, in the second round. Simpson held two set points in the first set tiebreaker and survived
four before Castle won it, 13-11, with a fine backhand pass down the line. Castle, who at 22 is being spoken of as Britain’s brightest hope for international success, broke Simpson’s serve in the first game of the second set and effectively sank the New Zealander’s challenge by recovering from 0-40 to win the second.
