The opening match was between Hale, '91, and Wrenn, '92. Hale was not in prime condition while Wrenn played at his best. Wrenn beat Hale 6-5, 6-2.

The second match brought together two of Harvard's best players, Chase, '92, and Tallant, '91. The first set was very close, Chase playing a net game and Tallant hitting for the side lines. The result was a victory for Tallant with the score at 6-4. Chase now showed bad form and lost the second and deciding game with no games to his credit.
