•Wanting to practise t ; o-day, and ijn the absence of a groundsman, Australia .and New Zealand team's worked for half an hour removi/ng the canvas covering from the Davis Cup courts at Eastbourne. New Zealan'ders keenly watched the Australian doubles practice. New ,Zealanders / .also practised, but a IbifTterly cold wind handicapped the players.
Wallis Mvers in the "Daily Telegraph” commenting on yesterday’s singles, said it cannot be said that either match quickened the pulse dr caused sustained applause. A gusty wind affected all the players’ accuracy. Maybe\Australia alnd'New Zealand, formerly successful allies in the Davis Cup arc too closely related for either to feel anxious to get at each others throats. ’
