The Hard Court Championships of Great Britain
A commentary during one of the final matches by F. H. Grisewood from Melville Park, Bournemouth
The British Hard Court Championships are an annual event important enough in themselves, doubly important in that they are a kind of warming up for Wimbledon. Players show their paces in the first big open-air tournament of the season, and form is judged, and choices for later honours are forecast.
F. H. Grisewood , who will be beside the court to describe part of the match for the men's finals, has given commentaries on this event in previous years. Last year the championships were not broadcast, but Grisewood gave an eye-witness account in the news the same night. It is difficult to say who will be the likely finalist, though one thing is certain, namely, that Kho-Sin-Kie, the brilliant young Chinese player who beat Austin in the final last year, will defend his title with spirit.
