Davis cup skipper aced by a love match

HONGKONG Davis Cup stalwart Mark Bailey's best match ended in love last night when he married long- time fiancee Francine Rodrigues.

Hongkong Sports Institute tennis coach Bailey, 29, recently retired from playing Davis Cup after being named captain for the side to take on Japan in March.

All the players who helped Hongkong to promotion from Group Two last year - Colin Grant, Pang Lui and Mike Walker, who himself was married in 1991 - were at the Cotton Tree Drive registry.

The party moved on to the Hilton Hotel's Eagles Nest for a reception.

The bride and groom attended King George V School in Hongkong, and many of their former school mates helped them celebrate last night.
