The tournament was scheduled to be held from Thursday September 8 until Saturday September 17 but was prolonged until Saturday September 24 due to poor weather caused by the 1938 New England hurricane. It was the 58th staging of the U.S. National Championships and the fourth Grand Slam tennis event of the year. American Don Budge won the men's singles title and became the first tennis player to win the Grand Slam i.e. winning all four Major tennis tournaments (Australian Championships, French Championships, Wimbledon Championships, and U.S. National Championships) in a single calendar year. Budge also won the doubles and mixed doubles title.Collins Bud The Bud Collins History of Tennis 2010 New Chapter Press [New York] 978-0942257700 2nd 61–63 Finals Men's singles 1938 U.S. National Championships – Men's singles USA 1912 Don Budge defeated USA 1912 Gene Mako 6–3, 6–8, 6–2, 6–1 Women's singles 1938 U.S. National Championships – Women's singles USA 1912 Alice Marble defeated AUS Nancye Wynne Bolton 6–0, 6–3 Men's doubles USA 1912 Don Budge / USA 1912 Gene Mako defeated AUS Adrian Quist / AUS John Bromwich 6–3, 6–2, 6–1 Collins, p. 477 Women's doubles USA 1912 Sarah Palfrey Cooke / USA 1912 Alice Marble defeated FRA Simonne Mathieu / POL Jadwiga Jędrzejowska 6–8, 6–4, 6–3 Collins, p. 479 Mixed doubles USA 1912 Alice Marble / USA 1912 Don Budge defeated AUS Thelma Coyne Long / AUS John Bromwich 6–1, 6–2 Collins, p. 482 Notes References External links Official US Open website 1938 Wimbledon Championships Grand Slams 1939 Australian Championships U.S. National Championships Category:U.S. National Championships (tennis) by year U.S. National Championships U.S. National Championships U.S. National Championships Category:Tennis tournaments in Boston Category:Tennis tournaments in New York City U.S. National Championships U.S. National Championships
