The Spike or Victoria University College Review 1934

Tennis

Tennis.

Our efforts in Tennis have not met with the same success as in Athletics, and apart from wins in 1905, '06 and '07, and a tie with C.U.C. in 1932, the Tennis Cup has not come this way. Contrary to popular opinion, an analysis of the results shows that our women have been more successful than our men!

No change in the programme for Tennis has been made since 1902, except that the system of scoring for the Tennis Cup was amended to permit points to be scored for each match won in the early rounds as well as the finals. It is of interest to note that the winner of the Men's Singles and Doubles in 1902 was the late Anthony F. Wilding, probably the greatest tennis player New Zealand has produced.
