Helen Wills Faces Doubt On National Title Defense
New York sports editor Davis J. Walsh reports widespread doubt about Helen Wills’s ability to defend her national singles title at the upcoming tournament. Critics say mental strain and a dip in punch hindered her form after recent defeats, with Elizabeth Ryan or Chitty McKane poised to dethrone if she falters. Wills must rely on precise strokes, placement, and a powerful serve to win on merit rather than popularity.
