London, July 2 In spite of the dull weather, Wimbledon attracted a huge crowd to-day when the singles finals were played, the gates of the centre court being closed before play began.
Holen Wills (America) defeated Senorita d'Alvarez by 6-2, 6-4, in the final of the Ludies' Open Singles.
The match was a battle between contrasting styles. Helen Wills con-. tented herself with exploiting her fore-hand drive, keeping good length, while Senorita d'Alvares refied on her backhand. She often netted, however, or drove out of the
court
The Spanish girl showed consider- abla Improvement in the second set, and had the butter of several base line duels. She drove a rising ball skilfully. Neither player risked advancing to the net.
[In defeating Senorita d'Alvarez, who also reached the final last year, Miss Helen Wills won the Wimbledon championship for the first time. In 1924, Miss Wills was opposed to Mrs. L. A. Godfree (then Miss Kitty McKane) in the final, but she was defented]
