Lacoste Withdraws from Defending American Tennis Title
Rene Lacoste, US and English champion, will not defend his American singles title at Forest Hills in September. He stated at Roland Garros that he prefers not to join the French team traveling to the United States for the national title events. Lacoste said the decision was made long ago and not connected to Bill Tilden’s Davis Cup issues. By defaulting, he forfeits a chance to win the American crown outright this year after titles in 1926 and 1927.
