The eight minutes that ruined Helen Jacobs's career

Person: Helen Hull Jacobs
Event: 1938 Wimbledon Final
Location: Berkeley, California

Period: 1914-1939
- Helen Jacobs's career was marked by five Grand Slam singles titles and a challenging record of one win in fifteen matches against her main rival.
- The story begins at a tennis club in Berkeley, California, where Helen Jacobs and Helen Wills learned the game on the same courts.
- Helen Wills Moody, known for her flat, punishing baseline game, went on to win eight Wimbledon singles titles.
