In the men’s singles, the only non-seeded player to reach the quarterfinals was Maurice Bergl, the youngest member of the English team. In his quarter-final match against Kohn of Austria he led by two games to one and 13-2 in the fourth. He extended his lead to 19-12 but inexplicably lost that game 19-21 and the next game 9-21. Meanwhile, in the other quarter-finals, the Hungarians Miklos Szabados and Victor Barna beat Miroslav Hamr of Czechoslovakia and Stanislas Kolar of Czechoslovakia respectively, while Poland’s Aloisjy Ehrlich defeated Laszlo Bellak of Hungary. The final between Szabados and Barna was closely fought, the eventual winner being Barna by three games to two. In the men’s doubles, the men’s singles finalists formed the winning pair, beating Adrian Haydon of England and Austria’s Alfred Liebster. In the women’s singles quarter-finals, Magda Gal of Hungary beat Astrid Krebsbach of Germany, Marie Smidova of Czechoslovakia overcame Connie Wheaton of England, Marie Kettnerova of Czechoslovakia defeated Margaret Osborne, also from England while Miss Delacour of France accounted for Gertrude Kleinova of Czechoslovakia.

The Treasurer of the English Table Tennis Association reported at the 1935 Annual General Meeting that the total attendance had been over 20,000, whereas never before had more than 1,000 people attended a table tennis tournament in England. A contemporary journal, “Tennis Illustrated” reported “the crowds thronging the courts at South Kensington were reminiscent of Wimbledon and this support and the interest at Wembley, challenges comparison with finals day on the centre court there.” The final deficit, just over £500, was less than had been feared and it was considered that the money had been well spent in the cause of table tennis. The final was between Gal and Kettnerova, who had both won their semi-finals three-nil against Smidova and Delacour respectively. The final was acclaimed in the press as one of the finest women’s matches ever seen, with Gal winning the first game but Kettnerova taking the next three to gain the title. The women’s doubles was another success for Hungary, Maria 38 London to London
