Sviazhsky and Vronsky both played very well and seriously.

They kept a sharp lookout on the balls served to them, and without haste or getting in each other's way, they ran adroitly up to them, waited for the rebound, and neatly and accurately returned them over the net.

Veslovsky played worse than the others.

He was too eager, but he kept the players lively with his high spirits.
