Elizabeth Montague Ryan, 1972 Enshrinee: International Tennis Hall of Fame (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | Elizabeth Montague "Bunny" Ryan, a magnificent doubles player who long held the major tournament record for total championships--19 at Wimbledon between 1914 and 1934--dearly wished to win a major in singles. |
 | | Ryan, a right-hander with a severe chop, volley and drop shot, was born February 5, 1892, in Anaheim, CA, and while she played for her native land in the 1926 Wightman Cup, she spent most of her life as a London resident. |
 | | Ryan collapsed and died July 8, 1979, at her beloved Wimbledon, the day before King got No. 20 by winning the doubles with Navratilova. |
