Tennis At The 1908 Summer Olympics - Womens Singles




The women's singles (outdoor) was one of six lawn Tennis events on the Tennis At The 1908 Summer Olympics programme. Five players, all from the United Kingdom , appeared for the competition. 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.
