OLD MEMORIES OF NEW WIMBLEDON

A Lawn Tennis Pageant Through 14 Years

London.

For fourteen years of steadily increasing renown, 1922-1935; the New Wimbledon has stood the test of the over-lordship of the world's tournaments writes Mr. J. E. Collett in Field. It was opened by the King on June 26th, 1922, one of the outstandig Suzanne Lenglen years. In 1921 her unfortunate failure in the American championships (she retired to Mrs. Mallory when in a losing position) had. keyed everyone up for their next meeting. Suzanne won decisively, but before reaching her fourth championship had advantage sets both with Miss K. McKane and Miss E. Ryan, the latter sometimes called not unreasonably the best player who never won the championship.
