Martha Kinsey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Martha Kinsey was an important American amateur tennis player in the early part of the 20th century.
At the historic tennis tournament in Cincinnati, Kinsey, a left-hander, reached nine finals: four doubles finals, three singles finals and two mixed doubles finals. She won every doubles final she played in Cincinnati, and won one singles title as well.
She won the singles title in 1908, beating Marjorie Dodd in the final. She was runner-up in 1907 (to future International Tennis Hall of Fame enshrinee May Sutton), and in 1909 (to Edith Hannam of Great Britain).
Her doubles titles came each year between 1907 and 1910. She won in 1907 with Ruth Cowing, in 1908 with Dodd, in 1909 with Adele Kruse, and in 1910 with Helen McLaughlin.
She also was a two-time mixed doubles finalist: in 1908 with William Hopple, and in 1910 with P. Lincoln Mitchell.
