Summary
Helen Wills is now Mrs Moody. What hasn't changed is her dominance over women's tennis. She plays a very reduced schedule that includes wins at Roland Garros and Wimbledon, setting her atop the world rankings for the 4th year in a row. Myers low ranking of US Chmps winner Betty Nuthall is explained by the weak field, as not one of Wimbledon's top 8 seeds competed at Forest Hills this year.
