Miss Hattersley 6/3, 6/1. Quis,t staged a net attack against Moon, who was unable to cope with the South Australian’s severe volleys and smashes. Perry’s strong forehand drive was the match-winning factor against Hopman. Fighting a losing battle from the baseline, Hopman tried taking the not, cut Perry passed him with fine; side-line drives. Perry lost only one service, the first game of the match.

McGrath was at his best against I Hughes. Playing an all-court game, | he had Hughe s running from side to side. Hughes was a victim of several bad decisions at the beginning of the .third set, and thereafter he went to I-ieces. McGrath’s volleying was as good as anything he has ever shown. The Crawford-Lee match was a poor affair. Lee’s strong forehand won him manv points, but Crawford’s superior courtcrafit carried him through.
