		Helen Newington Wills Roark (October 6, 1905 – January 1, 1998), also known as Helen Wills Moody, was an American tennis player who is generally considered to have been one of the greatest female tennis players of all time.
		Wills won 31 Grand Slam titles (singles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles) during her career, including seven singles titles at the U.S. Championships, eight singles titles at Wimbledon, and four singles titles at the French Championships.
		Wills had an emergency appendectomy during the 1926 French Championship, which caused her to default her third round match and withdraw from Wimbledon, which also was considered a default.

	Helen Wills Moody Summary
		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 was portrayed as the sweet, virginal 20-year-old versus the lascivious, worldly and jaded 26-year-old Lenglen.
		Wills won 31 major titles (singles, doubles, and mixed doubles) over her career, including seven U.S. singles championships (1923-25, 1927-29, and 1931), eight Wimbledon singles titles (1927-30, 1932-33, 1935, and 1938), and four French singles titles (1928-30 and 1932).

		It was not until 1990, 52 years after she had set the mark, that Helen Wills Moody's record of eight singles titles at The Championships was finally overtaken by Martina Navratilova's historic ninth Centre Court triumph.
		Wills Moody had only one real challenger for that honour, Suzanne Lenglen, and the astonishing statistic of two women who between them won 14 Wimbledon singles titles is that they only met once.
		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.
