	Helen Wills Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Helen Wills (1905-1998) was one of the dominant American and international female tennis players during the late 1920s and most of the 1930s.
		Wills, however, played erratically, losing in the first and second rounds of the singles of the Wightman Cup, but took the doubles with her old tutor Hazel Wightman.
		Wills was portrayed as the sweet, virginal 20-year-old versus the lascivious, worldly and jaded 26-year-old Lenglen.

	Helen Wills Legendary Tennis Players
		Wills’ tennis game, which included powerful ground strokes and superb baseline play, was most noted for the intense on-court concentration and imperturbability that she was able to maintain while playing.
		This was the Californian Helen Jacobs, and when Wills defaulted to Jacobs in the finals of the 1933 U.S. Nationals in a controversial mid-match incident stemming from a back injury she had sustained some months earlier, a good measure of her popularity vanished.
		Wills was somewhat vindicated, however, when, after an extended convalscence, she returned to tournament play and defeated Jacobs in the finals of the U.S. Nationals in 1935.

		It was the Great Helen's farewell to a tournament in which she had lost a total of four sets in all the years of Wimbledon participation.
