...next week where McLoughlin,* Williams, Johnston, Lacoste and Vines failed, he will be the first foreign player who has ever won possession of a U. S. Singles trophy. Moreover, he will have done so against a field which includes, except for Australia's Crawford, Germany's von Cramm and England's Bunny Austin, all the best amateur players in the world. If he fails, it will be the biggest upset in a sporting year full of surprises. Scanning the field last week tennis enthusiasts could pick out at least half a dozen players who might conceivably accomplish...
...team, was up against a tough question. The U. S. team had just managed to beat Germany in the interzone final (TIME, July 29). In the doubles, after match point had been called against them five times, Wilmer Allison and John Van Ryn had nosed out Baron Gottfried von Cramm and Kay Lund in five long sets. Next day, Allison had, as expected, won his singles match against Heiner Henkel and Donald Budge had amazingly defeated von Cramm. This gave the U. S. the right to play England in the challenge round but instead of making Captain Wear...
...Davis Cup team. The importance of Budge to the U. S. Davis Cup campaign lies in the fact that Germany and England each have one singles player who can be counted on to win two matches.

The outcome might therefore well depend on the first match, between Budge and Henkel. A small gallery watched Budge nervously fumble through...
...Said Baron Gottfried von Cramm, first German tennist to reach a Wimbledon final since the War, "He was very, very much too good for me." "He" was Frederick John Perry, ablest British tennist since the Doherty brothers, who, playing far better than a year ago, had won the Men's Singles Championship for the second year in a row by beating von Cramm in the final, 6-2, 6-4, 6-4. The round before, Perry had beaten Australia's Jack Crawford, Wimbledon champion in 1933, and von Cramm had beaten redhaired Donald Budge of California who, in his first...
...match in an intermittent shower, Roderick Menzel amused himself by uttering Czechoslovakian epithets, tottering about at snail's pace between points. He was put out in the fourth round. Vernon Gordon Kirby, whose father fought in the Boer War, first gained world recognition when he defeated Baron von Cramm to reach the quarter-finals at Wimbledon this year. At Forest Hills last week he put Frank Shields out in the quarterfinals, only to lose to Perry the next...
