60 games were played, among them 48 singles. After the first two matches all teams were tied at one match won out of two. On the second day, the play continued with further narrow margins.
Ikskile Club defeated Hamburg by 6-4, and secured not only a place at the Grand Final, but also the overall top position. Ealing beat Tolkis by 7-3, and thus earned the other ticket to Roehampton.
Overall, the top team has won just two games more than the last team – a clear indication of the closeness of the playing level of all teams.
Ealing Club presented an elegant table-top flag with national flags of all four clubs.
