Notes: The long awaited showdown between Larcombe and Chambers doesn't occur. The defending champ was injured in a freak accident the day before the Challenge Round. While playing the mixed doubles final Ethel was hit in the side of the face by her partner, who had smashed the ball form behind her.
As the challenge round was scheduled the next day she was forced to default. When Ethel won in 1912 many felt it was because Chambers was absent. However, Ethel had won an encounter just weeks before the 1913 event.
Dorothea isn't pushed by her opponents, winning 5 matches at the loss of only 17 games.
The doubles final is also marred by injury, Charlotte Sterry tore a tendon in her leg while her team was points from victory at 6-4 4-2 40-15.
The decision of the ITF to grant Wimbledon the title of "World Championships on Grass" prompted the All England Club to give the women's doubles full championship status. It wasn't an event at all from 1908, and in 1900-1907 had only limited status.
