Regardless of Bill Tilden's record
in the present E@1is Cup tennis
matches with Frar-a, he has 10
year mark of individual success In
this international competition that
may defy even the great French
stars to equal.
Out of a total of % Davis Cup
singles matches in which he COM
peted between 1920 and 1929, Big
Bill won "a. Two of his four set
backs were handed him by Henri
Cochet and the other two by Rene
Lacoste.
They came at the rate of one
year in 1926, 1927, 1928 and 1929.
On each occasion Tilden was able to
hold his French foes to a draw by
getting one victory as well as a de-
feat.
In Davis Cup doubles over the
same period Tilden was successful
in nine out of eleven times.
The two reverses were in 1922,
when he and Billy Johnston were
trimmed by the Australians, Pat
O'Hara Wood and Gerald Patterson.
and in 1928 when T1lden and Francis
T. Hunter lost to Cochet and Jean
Borotra.
All told Tilden's Davis Cup rec
ord in singles and doubles shows SO
victories and six defeats. In these
80 matches. 1903 sets were won and
46 lost.
