Budge and Mako were not pressed, and played in lazy style, scoring points almost at will. The Germans Henkel and Metaxa merely commented: "We were refused permission to play, but intend to stay and watch the matches.'*

Quist and Bromwich . won with scarcely any opposition before an unusually large gallery. Hopman and Schwartz started unsteadily but later settled down. Theirs was the best match of the day. The~ match in which the British pair Filby and Shayes were eliminated was very hard fought and the result was always in doubt.
