 Blanche Hillyard   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Born in Greenford in the London Borough of Ealing, Blanche Bingley was a member of the "Ealing Lawn Tennis and Archery Club." In 1884, she competed in the first ever Wimbledon championships for women and two years later captured the first of her six singles titles.
A seven time runner-up, Bingley's thirteen finals remain a Wimbledon record as is the fourteen year time span between her first and last title.
As tradition in her era dictated, once married Bingley was recorded with her husband's name and is usually listed in various records as Blanche Bingley Hillyard.

Blanche Hillyard (fram till 1888 miss Bingley) vann singeltiteln i Wimbledonmästerskapen sex gånger och var 13 gånger i singelfinal.
Blanche Hillyard mötte som titelförsvarare i 1887 års Wimbledonmästerskap den då 15 åriga Lottie Dod i the "Challenge Round" i en turnering som bara omfattade sex tävlande kvinnliga tennisspelare.
Blanche Hillyard lyckades dock åter vinna singeltiteln i Wimbledonmästerskapen, alltid i Dods frånvaro, år 1889 mot Lena Rice, år 1894 mot Edith Austin, åren 1897, 1899 och 1900 mot Charlotte Sterry (född Cooper).

Although it was her only competitive appearance of that season, she won her third Wimbledon title with ease, again by defeating Hillyard (6–2, 6–1).
On both occasions, she defeated Blanche Hillyard in three sets, despite a heavy fall in the Wimbledon final.
Her record of five Wimbledon titles would not last for long, as Hillyard, after losing in the final to Dod five times, won her sixth title in 1900.

For most of this century tennis players made nothing at all by struggling so hard to get to Wimbledon and winning it.
So rather than give even more money to such prime modern athletes as Lindsay Davenport, they should start docking their pay and right some wrongs by sending some cheques out to Ellsworth Vines, Budge Patty, Cilly Aussem, and the estates of Joshua Pim, Blanche Bingley Hillyard and Reggie Doherty.
So Williams only makes so much money in the first place because of the market and comparative advantage and the freedom of private organizations like the Wimbledon club to set the prize-money as they see fit.
