[edit]Hilde Sperling represented Denmark, when she won the French Championships, as they were named then. She married Sven Sperling 28th of December 1933, and became danish citizen by that date. After that date she represented Denmark.
I know it is not valid here in Wikipedia, but I am a journalist, and I have written about her. I have been into the national archives in Denmark and found articles there as well. The authorities in Denmark has confirmed to me, that she became a danish citizen in 1933. At the time it was something, that happened automaticly, when a woman married a danish man. The day after the wedding danish newspaper Berlingske Tidende wrote (29th of December, 1933), that she now would be representing Denmark.
According to this page she was representing Denmark from 1934: https://www.denfri.dk/2011/09/franskmaend-anerkender-ikke-dansk-grand-slam-vinder/ It is confirmed by the danish tennis federation.
So I change here nationality to dnaish anywhere I find here results after 28th of December 1933.
