The two concluding singles matches in rhe inter-zone Davis Cup final at Wimbledon were both won by th'* United States, which thereby defeated Germany by four matches to one, and qualified to meet Great Britain in the challenge round. Tiie results were:— W. L. Allison (U.S.A.) defeated 11. Henkel (Germany). 6-1, 7-5, 11-9. J. D. Budge (U.S.A.), defeated G. von Cramm (Germany), 0-6, 9-7, 8-6, 6-3. Henkel never threatened to overcome Allison, who always appeared able to develop extra pressure when It was essential. Nevertheless, Henkel fought strenuously, and brilliantly saved two match points when the score was 7-6 against him in the third set. The match was fought out determinedly, many games going to several deuces.
Von Cramm. who was feeling the effects of his previous matches, was unable to stand up to Budge’s aggressiveness and brilliant backhand. The third set was fiercely contested, leaving von Cramm without reserves to stand up to increased pressure from Budge, who took six games in succession. and won the match.
