Notes and references

Notes

  1. ^ Original draw gives 22 players.
  2. ^ Not in an initial draw. Apparently added to the draw after withdrawal of both Miss Rice and Miss Turner.
  3. ^ a b According to the initial draw.[1] Apparently those matches were never played.[2]
  4. ^ a b Because of apparent withdrawal of both Miss Berg and Miss Jenkins from the event, this encounter actually became the second round match, even if sources clearly name it the first round match (as it was originally drawn as such).[3]
