This was Budge’s first pro tour, and one of Vines' last. It was the last time Vines participated in what might be termed a H2H tour, in which the same two players faced off against each other at every stop on the tour. Vines did take on Budge again a couple of months later in a so-called 4-man tour that also featured Bill Tilden and Les Stoefen, with all four men playing one another. Budge is said to have edged Vines 15-5 in their personal meetings on that tour.
These are the results of the first tour, in the U.S., compiled from various sources including American Lawn Tennis. I've put the running tally on the left.
