Crawford and M‘Grath comfortably accounted for Yugoslavian Davis Cup players Kukuljevic and Pallada. Both are left handers. M'Grath’s pace after the first set was too much for Pallada, while Crawford exploited his opponent s weak backhand. The Bromwich-Austin match saw a series of long baseline rallies. The Australian, with long-angled drives; often heat the Englishman, but Austin was generally steadier. Bromwich played' vigorous, sparkling tenuis to win the second set, but played poorly in the third set, in winch ho seemed tired. Bromwich rallied in the fourth set, and gained a 5-4 lead, but Austin’s superiority in manoeuvring enabled him to take the match. Crawford and M'Grath are now in the last 16. Stedman is also in the last 16, where he will meet the American Grant.
