Racket Sports

Alice Norah Gertrude Greene, who lived from 15 October 1879 to 26 October 1956, was an English tennis player from the United Kingdom. She was born at Upton in Northamptonshire, the daughter of a doctor who ran the county asylum there. In October 1907 she won the ladies singles title at the London Covered Courts Championships at the Queen's Club. The following year she played at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London, where she won a silver medal in the women's indoor singles event and finished fifth in the outdoor singles. She was also an international field hockey player. Some references call her Angela Greene. She later moved to the island of Jersey, where she died, and her Olympic medals were sold at auction in 2010.
