The women's singles (outdoor) was one of six lawn tennis events on the Tennis at the 1908 Summer Olympics programme. The number of withdrawals resulted in empty brackets, with one player making it to the final without playing a single match while another had to win two to advance to that point. Nations could enter up to 12 players.[1] In all, 13 women from 4 nations were entered but only 5 from Great Britain competed.[2] The tournament was held from 7 to 11 July at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.[2] It was won by Dorothea Douglass Lambert Chambers, with Dora Boothby taking silver and Ruth Winch bronze (the latter two without having won a set).[2]

Background

This was the second appearance of the women's singles tennis. A women's event was held only once during the first three Games (only men's tennis was played in 1896 and 1904), but has been held at every Olympics for which there was a tennis tournament since 1908. Tennis was not a medal sport from 1928 to 1984, though there were demonstration events in 1968 and 1984.[2]

Dorothea Douglass Lambert Chambers had won at Wimbledon in 1903, 1904, and 1906. She would win four more times after the Games.[2]

Great Britain was the only nation that had players actually compete, thereby making it the nation's second appearance. France would also have made its second appearance, and Austria and Hungary their debuts, but the players for those three nations all withdrew.

Competition format

The competition was a single-elimination tournament. The withdrawals resulted in there being only one semifinal loser, so there was no bronze-medal match. All matches were best-of-three sets.

Schedule

The Olympics started three days after the end of the 1908 Wimbledon Championships, a scheduling issue which the Official Report recommended avoiding in the future.[3]
