...semi-finals found Tilden facing Vincent Richards, his onetime protege and doubles partner, now Olympic champion. Tilden had brushed aside all opposition, losing two sets only in four matches, one to Alonso, sleek Spaniard, one to Howard Kinsey, ubiquitous Californian and national doubles champion.
