1926

Summary courtesy of AndrewTas

Two major events occurred during this year, the first was the only meeting between the "Queen of the Courts", Lenglen and "Miss Poker Face", Helen Wills in Cannes Carlton in Febraruary. The media were all there for what was dubbed the match of the century and Lenglen just held back her younger opponent.The match has been written about and analysed by many people. After this match Wills who had dominated the Riviera season before continued her domination but after entering the French Championships she fell sick with appendicitis and withdrew from Wimbledon, returning to the USA. She did play three tournaments (winning 1) but lacked energy and decided to not play the USA Championships. Mallory took advantage and just defeated Ryan in the final of the US Championships for seventh and last title. The other major event was the withdrawal of Lenglen from Wimbledon. Lenglen had won the French Championships again and returned to Wimbledon but after one of her matches was re-scheduled but she was not informed and turned up late. As a result she kept royalty waiting and there was such a commotion that she withdrew and declared herself a professional. She went on tour with Mary Browne. As a result Kitty McKane was given another opportunity and won her second title. Also Akhurst won her second Australian title while USA defeated Great Britain at Wimbledon in Wightman Cup play 4-3.

Suzane Lenglen's year

Summary: Entered 12 tournaments in total.

Singles:Won 4 of 5 events entered. Defaults in 1 event (Wimbledon). 21-0 match record, with 1 default.
Doubles:Won of 8 of 12 events entered. Defaults in 3 events. 35-1 match record with 3 defaults.
Mixed:Won 6 of 9 events entered. 3 defaults. 29-0 match record with 3 defaults

From her defeat in 1921 until her last amateur match Suzanne had recorded 171 straight wins, an all-time record.

Kitty McKane Godfree's year

Kitty Mckane Godfree went undefeated in her South African tour early in the year in singles and doubles (partner Evelyn Colyer). Her only loss was 1 mixed doubles with Leslie Godfree, who became her husband on the trip. After a defeat in the qf of the French Chmps to Mary Browne it does not seem she lost the rest of the year, winning both her Wightman Cup matches, Wimbledon, and a series of British events at Southampton, Hythe, Folkestone, and Newcastle.

Draw note: F.M. B. (Francis) Fischer was a noted promotor of Riviera events. He preferred to be known as FMB.

Suzanne was indisposed for the mixed final. She had a nervous breakdown after two strenuous semis and had to be escorted back to the hotel by doctors, who declare she may be unfit to play for two months. Later that evening Suzanne is transported to Nice in an ambulance. This happens the same week that it is announced that Helen Wills is sailing for the Riviera. The press storm over a possible Lenglen-Wills meeting dominates the first two months of 1926, making world headlines.

Note: The above events were club championships and open only to club members.

From ‘Lawn Tennis and Badminton’, January 23, 1926:

The largest and best-balanced gathering was that at the Cannes Lawn Tennis Club, where the strength was comparable to an open tournament. [...] The ladies’ singles final gave rise to two exciting sets between Mrs Leslie Aeschlimann (holder of the Reid-Walker Cup) and Miss Eileen Bennett, but the play was not conspicuously good. Mrs Aeschlimann won because she was steadier and kept her head better in the crises, and Miss Bennett was no less than nine times within an ace of the winning the first set, and in the second she led by 3-1 and 4-2. She might have attacked Mrs Aeschlimann’s comparatively weak backhand more often, but Mrs Aeschlimann is left-handed, and Miss Bennett’s favourite shots both back- and forehanded are made to what is normally the backhand side.

This was the inaugural tournament at the New Courts Club. Suzanne Lenglen did not play in the singles event. Phyllis Sattterthwaite wins the singles and, with Lenglen, impressively takes the doubles, but all the attention of the public is focused on Paris, where on 15 February the American player Helen Wills is met at the train station by an excited throng of over 1,000. Wills arrives in Nice, meeting Suzanne in passing. A day later the American watched Lenglen and Brugnon win the mixed doubles title.

Draw notes:

* Toto was the preferred nickname of Jacques Brugnon, the doubles specialist among the four "French Muskateers."

* Mrs Jones is not the same person as Evelyn Jones.

* Lady Blanche Gladys Roundway (1879-1969) was married to Edward Colston, Lord (Or Baron) Roundway on 28 April 1904. Lord Roundway was a member of Parliament and died 29, March, 1944.
Their only child, a daughter, died tragically from a fall at their manor house. Lady Roundway was the daughter of George Duddell of Queen's Park, Brighton, and Hong Kong.

From ‘Lawn Tennis and Badminton’, February 6, 1926:

The entry of Miss Helen Wills, playing in her first tournament on the Riviera, was the distinguishing feature of the Metropole meeting at Cannes. She only competed in the singles, whereas Mlle Suzanne Lenglen, following her almost invariable practice, was confining her attention to doubles. But Miss Wills had strong opposition to face, nevertheless, from Mlle Diddie Vlasto and Mlle Helene Contostavlos, who are ranked next after “Suzanne” in France. She beat them both, the latter in the semi-final, and the former in the final, and so won the event.

The semi-final was in some respects a better match than the final. The driving of both players was hard and clean, and Mlle Contostavlos was giving away nothing, or very little, in the matter of pace; but she was not quite so accurate as Miss Wills who, moreover, was at her best when, after a somewhat inauspicious start, she won the first set from 2-4 down with a run of four games. In the second set the match was level up to 2-2. Then came a game in which Mlle Contostavlos went to 40-0, only to be “pulled back” by Miss Wills. The winning of this game by Miss Wills had its moral effect. Miss Wills went easily to 5-2, and although Mlle Contostavlos made a plucky effort which earned her two more games, the winning lead against her was too long, and Miss Wills clinched it in the tenth game.

The final was played in fine weather, but on a soft and yielding court which became more and more untrue as the match proceeded. Except that it was much closer, it was mainly a repetition of the Paris match of two years ago [at the Olympic Games], when Miss Wills beat Mlle Vlasto by 6-2, 6-2. Then Miss Wills, realising the potency of Mlle Vlasto’s forehand, waged a war of attrition against her backhand; she pursued the same tactics at the Metropole, to find that in the interval her adversary was very much stronger on the sinister side, and since Mlle Vlasto’s reply to a backhand attack is nearly always a cross-court shot, the match resolved into a somewhat monotonous sequence of backhand exchanges which had, of necessity, to be made with care because the ball was keeping so low it was very difficult to hit it really hard.

As a matter of fact, Mlle Vlasto was hitting rather the harder of the two and made the best use of nearly every forehand opening that came her way, and (as against Mlle Contostavlos) it was mainly Miss Wills’ accuracy that pulled her through. There was practically no volleying, and although Miss Wills occasionally scored with a drop shot which, if it did not score outright, paved the way for “the next one” – since Mlle Vlasto is weak on the volley – she was often countered successfully and did not really manage to make it pay.

Mlle Vlasto missed an easy smash for a 4-3 lead in the first set and was obviously disheartened thereby, so that Miss Wills, having herself secured the 4-3 lead instead, went out from that point at 6-3. In the second set Mlle Vlasto was within an ace of 3-1, and although she lost this chance and was subsequently led by 3-2, she rallied gamely and went to 5-3 before Miss Wills, with an answering run of three (which showed that she had a little bit in reserve), went out at 7-5. But if Mlle Vlasto had managed to win this set, she would have thoroughly deserved it. [end of LTB report]

The stands are packed to overflowing, and the club must turn away spectators. The event has a record profit. In the quarters Helen gained revenge upon Aeslimann, nee Bancroft, who had beaten Helen when they last played in 1923 and 4 times in 1922. The lefty got ill in 1923 and her game stagnated. In 1925 she married Swiss player Charles Aeschlimann. Fans leave the other courts deserted when Wills plays. Even Lenglen sees nothing but empty seats when her doubles match is played at the same time as as a Wills match.

Helen's conservative style prompts both comment and copy. She is the only 1 of the 32 lady competitors not to have her hair bobbed, declaring. "I am old-fashioned." her green shade quickly becomes a fashion rage though, being copied by other women in droves.

Suzanne Lenglen did not play in the singles event at this tournament. In fact, the only Riviera tournament in which she and Helen Wills both entered the singles event was the Carlton Club tournament in late February 1926.

In the first round Wills dropped only 8 points against a nervous Miss Green.

Draw note: the NYT calls Wills 2R victim "Rosine". Based on Mark's research I am listing her as Regina. She is a cousin of Diddie Vlasto.

Bill Tilden is quoted on the possible result of a Wills-Lenlen Encounter. "Helen may have a poker face but Suzanne has a chess brain". He predicts Lenglen will win on her home turf, but adds that "Helen won't be afraid of her [Lenglen's] reputation. His advice to Wills is to "hit the cover off the ball."

Meanwhile Wills faces controversy over allegations that her writing jeopardizes her amateur standing. Questions are also raised ober how she can afford the expensive French gowns she is now wearing. French designers are naturally eager to dress her gratis in their creations as advertisement.

Will the match everyone wants to see even occur? Lenglen hedges,saying she might enter Nice or the Carlton event. Helen declares she is entered for both in singles. but later in the week hints she might skip the Carlton if they use 'English' balls. The English balls are heavier and slow play down-conditions not suited to Helen's fast game.

Akhurst dominated the Australasian titles in Adelaide. Shaking off a persistent knee injury suffered during this overseas tour, Akhurst won the title without dropping a set. There was an air of finality about the whole championships, with Akhurst thumping Boyd 6-1 6-3. The last game of the final epitomised the women's singles as a whole. Akhurst won it to love and served a centre-line ace on the final point.

Suzanne Lenglen won five matches for the loss of no games. Helen Wills did not play in the singles event at this tournament, but she and Suzanne Lenglen met across the net for the first time in the mixed doubles final.

From "Ayres' Almanack" (1927): "Uncertain off the ground and carrying their lobbing tactics to excess, Aeschlimann and Miss Wills could only win three games against the infallible precision of Mlle Lenglen and the severe driving power of her opponent."

Draw note: Audre Wright=Miss M. A. Wright. The name Emily is reported by several American papers.

From ‘The Field’, February 25, 1926

By Arthur Wallis Myers

The final of the ladies’ singles, decided in perfect weather on February 16, attracted unprecedented interest. Spectators scaled trees and swarmed onto roofs, while in the stands provided by the management there must have been 3,000 people round the court. The match lasted 63 minutes, and was won by Mlle Suzanne Lenglen by two sets to love. The champion, however, met her match, and she only saved the second set after an effort which nearly exhausted her strength. She was not in her best form, but it is probable that some of her lapses were due to the psychological effect of discovering the unexpected strength of her opponent’s game.

Miss Helen Wills played better than on any previous occasion either in Europe or in her own country. She was tested at all points, and survived the ordeal with flying colours. She won many more games than the prophets had allotted to her; she might have won the second set, in which she held a winning lead more than once, had luck favoured and her tactical experience been a little greater. She played with the utmost confidence and courage, and though in the matter of finesse and of subtlety in defence she was not quite the equal of her opponent, the character of her play when she was attacking left no doubt in the mind of the impartial observer that she was in the same class as the champion, and equipped, moreover, with a more robust physique. Commander George Hillyard umpired the match. The Dunlop ball was used.

Mlle Lenglen opened with a love game on her service, but any prospect of an easy triumph disappeared in the next two games, which went to Miss Wills from 30 and deuce respectively. Against the well-timed defence of Mlle Lenglen she brought the mettle of fast drives shrewdly pitched. She gained nothing by her service at this stage, nor did she come to the net, but she exchanged drives with her opponent with equal facility and no lack of resource. If she made a mistake, it was in playing her backhand drive to Mlle Lenglen’s backhand. The champion may be less forceful on this wing, but she is surer and can place the ball down the line or across the court with equal precision. Shortening her length with the former shot she sometimes drew Miss Wills into a losing position. It would have been sounder tactics for the American had she aimed at Mlle Lenglen’s forehand corner and invited her to play the more difficult forehand shot down the line.

After Miss Wills had led 2-1 Mlle Lenglen won the next ten successive points. She drew errors from her opponent by mobile defence; she did not extract points by mobile coups. Miss Wills won the seventh game by her first volley of the match and reduced the lead against her to 4-3, but she lost the next two games with only one point in each to her credit, and the first set was Mlle Lenglen’s at 6-3. Though this margin was satisfying to French supporters, who saluted the champion warmly, it was obvious that she had experienced more physical strain than she had anticipated. An ominous sign was her consumption of brandy at regular intervals.

Miss Wills began the second set by winning her service to love; investing her strokes with more “devil” she captured the third game from 30 and the fourth from 15. In this phase her driving placed Mlle Lenglen entirely on the defensive; the American was in defiant mood and chose the right ball to flog with excellent judgment. In the fifth game, however, showing faulty judgment, she moderated her pace, using a higher trajectory and attempting to beat Mlle Lenglen by quiet and purposeful placing. In this art the champion knows no superior, and she exposed the futility of her opponent’s plan by taking the next two games from 15.

With the score level at 3-all the match entered the region where relative stamina governed it. The seventh game was the longest and hardest of all. Miss Wills was serving and Mlle Lenglen went to 15-40, taking the fourth point on a critical decision. Miss Wills then hammered her way to ‘vantage, showing a splendid spirit of resistance. Fourteen points were required in this game before the American eventually won it. The moral effect of losing it was visible in Mlle Lenglen’s play in the eighth game. She seemed to waver, though making no serious mistakes. When the score was 30-all Miss Wills got a decision on her forehand line which she evidently thought to be wrong. If Mr Cyril Tolley had given this ball out, Miss Wills would have been within a stroke of 5-3 and, with Mlle Lenglen obviously tiring, the advantage might have been material.

Miss Wills lost the next point while contemplating the past. She recovered brilliantly to win the ninth game and to lead 5-4. Then once more she modified her attack at the wrong moment. Suzanne won a love game by placing the ball very skilfully at half court down the line, bringing Miss Wills forward to overdrive. It was a most critical game for the champion; its loss might have meant the loss of the match. Mlle Lenglen took the eleventh game from 30, and in the twelfth appeared to have the match in her grasp when she led 40-15 on her service.

At this stage an incident quite unlooked for occurred. After a protracted rally Miss Wills hit a forehand winner on to Mlle Lenglen’s forehand line. Lord Charles Hope, the linesman, said nothing. It is possible that somebody shouted “Out” – there were many self-appointed linesmen among the spectators – and Mlle Lenglen, imagining this was an official verdict, thought the match was over. Both players went to the umpire’s chair, there was a hectic hiatus and then the court was invaded by eager partisans. The linesman, however, made his way quietly to the umpire and advised him that the ball was good. Of course, Commander Hillyard ordered the match to be resumed.

The players’ feelings under the circumstances may be better imagined than described. Mlle Lenglen was already exhausted; she needed a great effort of will-power to take up the threads of the match again. It is a tribute to her hardihood that she should have succeeded, more especially as Miss Wills, thus reprieved, won the twelfth game with great spirit and came within a stroke of capturing the thirteenth. The fourteenth and last game also went to deuce, Mlle Lenglen serving a double fault when within a stroke of the match. Miss Wills made errors of timing in it; she was probably reacting. By supreme steadiness Mlle Lenglen won the winning point.

Rumors abound that Lenglen will face Wills again at Nice, which plans to put up stands for 10,000. This is put into much doubt when Lenglen collapses while horseback riding. Lenlgen plays a doubles match despite the collpase, being led into the stadium on the arms of her mother and friend Lady Wavertree before a crowd of thousands. Suzanne wins easily with her partner Satterwaite, but withdraws the next day, citing exhuastion. By the end of the week she vows a return, saying "There are a few years of tennis left in the old women yet." Speaking of older women, Lambert Chambers wins the doubles at age 46.

Wills romps through the singles, winning her second round and quarterfinal matches back to back without even leaving the court for a break. She is often attacking the net, perhaps a response to critics who say she is weak in this aspect of her game.

From ‘The Field’, March 11, 1926:

By Arthur Wallis Myers

Miss Helen Wills, as expected, won the Duke of Connaught’s gold vase. Her match in the final was, in the matter of quality, one of the best ever seen on the Riviera. Indeed, in the second set, after Mlle de Alvarez had become reconciled to a speed she had never met before, the play had a compelling fascination for all who witnessed it. The well-disciplined strokes of the American champion, carrying the speed of a man’s, were parried and frequently frustrated by the more imaginative game of her opponent.

Finding herself too near the net for a normal drive, Mlle de Alvarez frequently made an audacious half-volley after the manner of Richard Norris Williams. Her placing of these shots was wonderfully accurate. Had she not made the mistake when leading 3-1 of playing to Miss Wills’ backhand, which was unbreakable in defence and ruthless in attack, she might have taken the match into three sets. As it was the Spanish champion was only a stroke removed from a 4-2 lead and played the critical sixth and seventh game with extraordinary courage and resource. Failing to win either of these she had little breath left for the remainder of the match. The American hit with beautiful precision the last few games, and her play throughout was a revelation to those who had seen her in a far more tentative mood at Cannes a month earlier.

Other notes from the event:

Record crowds come out to see Wills. Spanish player Lili Alvarez is playing her first event in almost 1 year, so she is not in top form despite her second seeding. Players complain that the shiny silk dress worn by Eileen Bennett has the same sort of blinding reflection that a mirror does when hit by strong sunlight.

Lenglen, tears coming down her face, announces with certainty that she will not compete in the singles in Nice, nixing any possible rematch vs Helen Wills until late May or June in Paris. Over 100 workers who were busily putting up temporary stands at Nice were ordered to tear them down. Suzanne barely survives in a tense doubles final for the Beaumont Cup. Suzanne's mother twice hands over a flask full of brandy to give Lenglen energy. Shockingly the British pair hit most shots to her, rather than Diddie.

The French pair barely win. French officials were in a panic in the second set, as they had already engraved the names of Lenglen and Vlasto on the trophies!

Draw notes:

Daisy Hamerton (1R loser to Helen Wills) is likely to be a nickname for Lily Hamerton or a close relation.

From "Ayres' Almanack" (1927): "The mixed doubles final between Cochet and Mlle Vlasto and van Alen and Miss Wills provided a spectacular match. Cochet's overhead work was amazingly good, but van Alen failed to take advantage of his openings at the net which his partner's fine baseline play provided. These four met again in the final of the Coupe des Nations, but the French pair scored an easy win." Van Allen later famously brings sudden-death and the sudden-death tiebreak to tennis in the early 1970s.

Wills has wisely avoided questions about Lenglen for the most part, but she does provide one juicy quote this week. "I am sorry Miss Lenglen has gone off to Italy. But she stillk nows her own business best. ....Don't you feel she should have given me a return match here?"

Hawkers are making money off of Helen Wills by falsely selling eyeshade with her fake signature. The Eyeshade is selling for anywhere from 5 to 10 US dollars.

Nelly Neppach is having problems with her own federation, which has very publicaly made it clear that she is not officially representing Germany. Nelly has ignored their demands not to play on the Riviera. Germans are still barred from many events due to the Great War. Neppach remarked, "Do they want to keep this war going forever? I have never received a better welcome anywhere than from the French on the Riviera. This is my own people firing upon me from the rear."

The influx of English nobility is due to the weather-this being "the season" the warm Flordia in winter. "Bunny" won the final despite serving 10 double faults. She often serves up a lot of doubles, but when her serve goes it is difficult to handle.

Draw notes: Mixed finalists Mrs Pritchard and Jerry Lang are brother and sister.

Interest in the Riviera season is starting to wane. Lenglen is gone, with no possibility now of a rematch with Wills. No one is left to challenge Wills now that she has proven she can beat everyone else. The event suffers another other blow when German Nelly Neppach finally caves in to pressure from her federation and returns back to Berlin. The German federation threatened to bar her from all German events, ignoring her contention that she was Austrian. The coup de grace is the withdrawal of Lili de Alvarez due to fatigue. Lili's father ordered her to rest one week.

Mumford's slow and defensive game leads to an upset over Bennett in the semis, but Helen kills ball after ball for an easy victory. Organizers complain about financial ruin due to low attendance.

The runner-up was the future Alida Neave. The 'Rand Daily Mail' newspapers lists her as Miss Smit all through the South African Championships tournament of 1926, and mentions how she hadn't played nearly as well in the final as she had when beating Phoebe Holcroft-Watson in a singles match in December 1925, when South Africa was playing England in a tie in the former country.

From the ‘Rand Daily Mail’, April 10, 1926:

Sisters as Tennis Champions

Two sisters took possession of the women’s doubles championship of South Africa yesterday. They were Mrs Hall and Miss Smit, who, at the national tennis championship at Ellis Park, secured a convincing win in the final over Mrs Peacock and Mrs Lowe...

Susie Hall=Mrs E. C. Hall
Winifred Lowe=Mrs W.G. Lowe
Richardson went by "Ivie" rather than his formal name of Ivor.

May 29, McCoach Tennis Club Exhibition, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, US

Ora Washington d Lula Ballard 6-0 6-2

"The fact that it was [Ballard's] second day on the court this season probably accounts for her poor showing but it should not detract in the least from the honor due to Miss Washington as the latter has had only two day of practice. Basketball kept these tow stars from getting an earlier start in tennis for not only are they the first national champions that Philadelphia has ever turned out, but they are also the two best basketball bets the Quakertown has."
