EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of American tennis history with the depiction of May Sutton and Elizabeth Ryan, the victorious duo of the Pacific States Ladies Doubles Championship in 1908. The image showcases the grace and athleticism of these early sportswomen, who paved the way for future generations of tennis players. Dressed in their white tennis attire, the ladies exude confidence and determination as they proudly display their trophy. May Sutton, on the left, wears a high-necked blouse with a fitted waist and a long, full skirt, while Elizabeth Ryan, on the right, dons a similar top with a shorter, pleated skirt. Both women accessorize with simple headbands to keep their hair out of their faces during the intense match. Their winning performance at the Pacific States Ladies Doubles Championship marked a significant milestone in their tennis careers, as they continued to excel in the sport and compete against some of the best players of their time. This photograph serves as a testament to their achievements and the growing popularity of tennis as a sport for women in the early 20th century. May Sutton and Elizabeth Ryan's legacy extends beyond their impressive tennis records, as they also embodied the spirit of sportsmanship and dedication that continues to inspire tennis players and fans alike. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich history of American tennis and the remarkable women who shaped it.
