...Davis Cup final would really be the interzone matches between the U. S. and Germany. Soon as the draw was announced last week, experts alsc knew that the U. S. and Germany would split the first two matches-U. S. No. i Donald Budge trouncing Henner Ernst Otto Henkel, and German No. i Baron Gottfried von Cramm trouncing Bryan ("Bitsy") Grant. The opening matches turned out just so and the one doubles match became pivotal. Paired as always with husky Gene Mako, Budge did not hit his stride until von Cramm & Henkel had won one set and run the second...
Next day as anticipated Henkel made the score 2 matches all by beating Grant 7-5, 2-6, 6-3, 6-4; and Germany's last chance was that von Cramm, a courtly green-eyed Berliner, who does little but play tennis, dance and drink champagne, would be able to reverse his straight-set defeat by Budge in the All-England final (TIME, July 12).

...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's job easier, it merely plunged him deeper into a dilemma which for the last seven years has made the captaincy...
