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).

FI: Jenny Sandison d. Elizabeth Ryan (USA), walkover*
--
DF: Miss Gracie/Elizabeth Ryan (USA) led Jenny Sandison/Mrs Simon 6-4, when play was called off due to bad light*
--
XDF: Captain O'Callaghan/Elizabeth Ryan (USA) d. L. Brooke-Edwards/Jenny Sandison 4-6, 9-7, 6-0
* Complaining of very poor management at the tournament, involving her having to play too many matches in one day, Elizabeth Ryan refused to play the singles final and to complete the doubles final. She was really only on holiday, but thought some tennis would be fun. She had been ill with fever in Rangoon (Burma) and Colombo before her trip to India.
