Summary (courtesy of AndrewTas)

Wills got better winning the French, Wimbledon and US Championships again without losing a set and in more commanding fashion. Phoebe Holcroft Watson is a finalist at the US Championships defeating Jacobs in the semi-finals (she also defeated Jacobs in the Wightman Cup the week before), while Jacobs was a finalist at Wimbledon. Von Reznicek emerged during the year as a contender winning the German Championships.

Daphne Akhurst wins her fourth Australian title but doesnt tour Europe. The USA defeats Great Britain 4-3 at Forest Hills therefore going ahead in the series 4-3 (since 1923). Also Simone Mathieu (nee Passamard) reaches her first French final (she won play 7 more, winning 2).

Hi Rollo, I am watching Pennetta-Halep on TV... :)

I have recently bought the beautiful Alan Little's book about the French Riviera, that you have too. And using above all that book, but also Le Figaro, I am arranging those tournaments.
I have started with Antibes/Juan-les-Pins.
Even Alan Little has made some mistake, for example he has put the Provencal LTC in Antibes, when it was in Juan-les-Pins, as the other 2 clubs: the Miramar LTC and the Juan-les-Pins LTC.
Juan-les-Pins is a suburb of Antibes, but all the 3 clubs (no more existing) were in Juan-les-Pins.
Other Alan Little's mistakes are on page 440: in 1932 the tournament won by Leila Claude-Anet was held 29 August-4 September, that won by Dvortsak was held 23-31 July.
