----------------------------------------------

Draw notes:

The NYT states that Rosie Berthet's mother was born in New York.

Note spelling for Charpenel, nee Aimee Cochet.

The NYT Times gives their names as Mrs Hackett and Dr Rawlins, both are from California. I have identified Mrs Hackett as being Maude (nee Demarest) Hackett.

The official French site lists Magaloff as Nicolas Magaloff, but this could be in error, possibly confusing the Prince with pianist Nicolai Magaloff.

NYT gives the 1R result of Mathieu/Brugnon as 6-4 6-1 rather than 6-3 6-1

The official French site lists E Tapscott as from GB, not SA. Was she any relation to Billie Tapscott?

According to the NYT Moriill d Mme Roger Danet (H Danet) in the singles.


If Lawn Tennis and Badminton is correct we are missing two scores from the 1R, as it indicates there were 14 byes-not 16.

----------------------------------------------

Summary:

Cross/Wills won a default when one of the French women decided she would rather attend a tea in the countryside than face the famous Helen Wills.

There were 17 deuces in the opening game of the Alvarez/Bouman vs Bennett/Watson match.

Draw notes:

The NYT refers to Jack Willard as "Jim"
Newly married Suzanne Deve now Mme Desloges, probably the wife of fellow French player Louis Desloges

If Lawn and Tennis is correct Mme Danet {Marie?] appears twice in the doubles draw-defaulting once and playing with Leven. Could there have been two Mmme Danet's? the French site lists her as "H Danet".

Sources: Lawn Tennis and Badminton

Desloges=married name of Deve. The French site incorrectly has her as "Desloge"
Henrotin=married name of Lafuarie
Bordes=Billout, whose maiden name was Broquedis.
Eileen Bennett Whitingstall #3 seed-defaulted in doubles due to illness.
Watson formerly Holcroft.

--------------------------------------------------
Notes: Helen Wills Moody wins her 4th French title. It's her 5th major win in Paris (she also won the '24 Olympics here), but she was never challenged until this year. The invincible Helen hasn't lost a set since 1927, twice this year she came within a point of dropping one. First, the Swiss star Payot had a set point in set 2 of their quarterfinal. In the semis, Mrs. Moody was severely pushed when the Krahwinkel had a set point and a sitter volley.
The German missed the easy shot long. Helen's streak of match wins and sets continues, but Paris held out hope for those who wish to find a rival for the world conquering Helen.

Even the in final resistance was stiff. Mathieu led 4-1 before Wills marched back to take the first set. Helen wore the Frenchwoman down with defensive play, a very uncharacteristic tactic from the usually hard hitting American.

Draw notes:

Antoinette Roche=Mme R Roche
Elizabeth Ryan opted not to play singles.


Source: Lawn Tennis and Badminton (note many partial scores due to a "cut off" page copy), I also consulted the New York Times.

Whittingstall=Bennett
Burke=Andrus

Thanks to AndrewTas for many missing results.
-----------------------------------------------
Mathieu "battered Miss Scriven's weak backhand all day" but the speed of the Englishwoman compensated for it. Scriven was only ranked #12 in all of Britain for 1932. She is the first British French Open champ.

As usual in the French, the first week is given over entirely to doubles competition.

Summary:

The women's final was a disgrace due to poor planning. The men's final was started late in the afternoon and didn't finish until 6:30. The women were put on court with clouds dimming what light remained. Endless rallies went back and forth, Miss Jacobs being unable to rush the net as usual because she couldn't see. At 7:50 the sets were split. Most of the crowd had left because they couldn't see, and Helen requested have the final set postponed til the next day. A British official urged Peggy to disagree, which she did. The umpire told them to play on. At 3-1 (a reporter counted 406 shots in those 4 games) to Scriven, Helen again requested a delay. A ten minute conference (some reports hint at an argument) at the chair saw the tournament referee come out. He ordered them to play on. Deflated, Jacobs got only 2 points in the last 3 games. "Before a handful of fans who had stayed to the bitter end, Peggy Scriven had retained her championship. The clock showed 8:27".

The French are heavily criticized for attempting a Wimbledon-like schedule without the organization (matches often start late because officials aren't punctual) or facilities (they only have 7 courts to Wimbledon's 20).

Heat was the norm, with not a drop of rain from start to finish.

Shorts make their first appearance in France. American Lawn Tennis notes that, "Caroline Babcock looks like a boy and Helen Jacobs is most becoming" in them. Most spectators are dressed up (hats for men and dresses for women) but one daring woman wore shorts for the finals.

An American-French women's event was held during the event. American hopeful Alice Marble collapses during her match on a hot day and is taken to the hospital. She defaults, and it is feared her career is at an end. Only after two years of struggle does she return to the courts in 1936.
Marble never did play in the French and only competed in one clay court event her entire career.

Hartigan saved a mp vs. Cruickshank in the 2R.
Betty Nuthall continued her poor form this year, double faulting in droves and hitting hard balls that are falling out.

Summary:

For the first time since anyone can remember "Bunny" Ryan is not competing in Paris. A fixture on the European tennis circuit since 1912, she announced her retirement in Rome. She was still good enough in her 40s to win the French doubles in 1934.

Children's day first started this year. 3000 tickets were given free to "young scholars", who made quite a racket on the first Thursaday of play.

A rash of upsets marks the doubles. The champs breeze home in 30 minutes using the "Australian" formation against a team where neither lady is strong at net.

Simone Mathieu ran defending champ Scriven in the semis. The young mother kept looking towards her husband in the stands (only 50 people were watching) in the tense first set, but after winning it at 8-6 she breezed home as Peggy had nothing left. Jacobs was frustrated again in her bid for a French. When her volleys found the net too often she resorted to drop shots, for no one can beat Hilde straight up from the baseline. The stork-like Sperling is " a wizard at at getting up quickly, either to put away the dinky teasers, or to retreat again safely to thr baseline". Helen saved 6 match points before bowing out.

The final was "utterly devoid of interest". Hilde did everything Mathieu could, but better.

Early figures of interest include the Czech beauty Cepkova, nicknamed "the Greta Garbo of tennis", and tiny Chilean Anita Lizana. Lizana is on her first world tour and quickly improving. Her different look ("like an Inca princess" according to one writer) and style (she rockets back balls on the rise like a half-volley from the baseline) attract attention.

Draw notes:


Dorothy Andrus of the Us planned to play but broke a bone in her right arm.

Iribarne=maiden name of Lafargue

The British LTM and RG site agree on Daisy Speanza-Wyns rather than Enya Speranza-Wyns.

Countess Valdene=nee Lili Alvarez

The NYT has "Miss Jeanne Varin" rather than Mme Andree Varin. We know she was married.

The LTM has Miss AC Weaver. Another (????) has Elisabeth Weaver as Austrian, buit I see no person in the Austrian top ten. for now I am going with AC Weaver. The NYT, on the other hand, calls her Mrs JD Weaver of England.

Summary

Hopes for a comback by the sparkling Spanaird Lili de Alverez, now Countess Valdene, are spoiled in the semis by the steady Hilde Sperling. The tall runner simply puts the ball to Lili's backhand and waits for errors. When the Countess did pull off a spectacular shot the long reach of Sperling usually got it back to return to a neutral postion. The other semi saw Mathieu struggle to put away Horn. Simone led 4-1 in the first-the German then puled up to 4 all before dropping t games for the set. "Frl Horn was tenacious" from 2-5 in the second, saving 10 match points in the last game before Mathieu won it on match point #11.

Sperling won a dour match as it her wont. Mathieu came up from 0-3 in the second by some clever volleying to get to 3-4. At 5-3 Hilde had a match point, losing it by netting a ball on the 39th shot. She closed it out at 5-4, making this event a triumph for Germans, as Gottfried von Cramm had won the men's singles.

8,000 are present for the final.

Summary

Mathieu loses her 6th French final in front of a half-filled stadium.

Earlier in the event Helen Jacobs tries and fails for the 7th time to annex the only big title to elude her. Hard hitting Pole Jedrzejowska takes her out. "Jed's" fast driving almost takes her to the final, but Mathieu proves too steady.

Draw Notes:

Mme Cluade=Leila Claude-Anet according to The Grand Slam record book, but this was her maiden name and her married name was Mme de Verrerier.

Frank Wilde is listed as HD (Henry David) Wilde.

Only 6 known seeds in the singles.

There were possibly 32 entries in the singles. On the French draw from Roland Garros they has Fabyan a bye in the 1R, but it was really a default. In addition they missed the Mellario 1R result. Thus the 3 byes listed may in fact hide results.

Summary:

"Auteil is a pleasant place even if the French Championships are far from being what they were." (London Times, June 11, p 6)
No German entries at all, as tension and rumours of war in Europe run high. Running so close to Wimbledon also discourages many entries. The event used to be held in May.

Gracyn Wheeler, traveling independently of the USTA, has a set point taken from her by a bad line call in a late afternoon match vs Mary Hardwick. The winner went right into the corner and was called out at 6-5. She ended up losing the set 10-8 and the steam went out of her gradually, having played a match earlier in the morning. The #4 seed finally won as the sun sank.

Most of the seeds held until the quarterfinals, only #5 Dutch player Rollin Conquerque falling. Then the major surprises came.

A seriously off form Jadwiga Jedrzejowska barely survives a tight third set vs Halff in the quarters. Her famous forehand was flying everywhere and too often wildly missing. Pannetier lulled Hardwick into playing from the baseline, winning despite her underhanded serve. Mary had a 3-1 lead in set one and played with caution, playing right into Suzanne's steady hands. Hardwick looked like coming to life when she tied at 4-4 in the second with splendid volleys, but then dropped the next 8 points for the match.

"Miss Fabyan was another grass court player to be caught in the toils of this slow rubble", getting only 2 games from Mme Lebailly. The lefty used the dropper repeatedly as Sarah dug her won grave in the dirt with numerous backhand and volley errors.

The semis ended the run of the unseeded semifinalists. Lebailly fought well and extended the Pole to 3 sets ,"but for all her nice control on the backhand, this was largely because Mlle Jedrzejowska's flaming forehand was so loose. Then Mlle S Pannetier had nothing like the necessary strokes to take on so shrewd an opponent like Mme Mathieu...even though she be the French #2."

Could the popular Pole finally win a major in her third final? It was not to be. Jaja pulled up from a set and 3-5 down to tie at 5 all, but consistency won over brilliance as it usually does on hard courts. As the Times noted, "against a shrewd adversary like Mme Mathieu, hitting one winner to two losers was of little use.Then Mlle Jedrzejowska made some telling moves with the drop shot, yet Mme Mathieu got to most of them and was prepared to volley the return; one has rarely seen her covering a court so quickly."

1940

In May of 1940 Germany invades and occupies France. There is no French Open for 1940. Events were held between 1941 and 1945, thogh these are often not counted as full championships in many sources. Not until 1946 did the international tennis community return to France in full force.

The event was called the "Tournoi de France"-a closed event only for French, yet Payot (a Swiss national) was the 1945 winner. It's useful to remember that at least one British woman also reached the women's closed final in the early 1900's.
