Helen Moody defeated Helen Jacobs in the final, 6–4, 6–0 to win the ladies' singles tennis title at the 1938 Wimbledon Championships. This was Moody's 19th and last grand slam title, which would remain an all-time record until Margaret Court won her 20th major at the 1970 US Open.[1] Dorothy Round was the defending champion, but did not compete.
