Budge was seldom extended in defeating Harry Hopman, veteran Australian star, 6-3, 6-1, 6-3. The lanky Californian played good tennis but was far from his best, Hopman looket good but was not quite good enough in the pinches.
The Australian scampered futilely on the court as Budge changed the pace of the game while the American's placements forced Hopman to stay close to the baseline.
Wood took the measure of Bitsy Bryan Grant, 6-2, 6-3, 6-2. Wood's tennis was the best thus far seen in the tournament. He displayed an exquisite touch and his strokes were sure and crisp, catching his smaller opponent flat-footed on many occasions.
