He was a six-time Grand Slam champion and a double Olympic Gold medalist at the1900 Summer Olympics in singles and doubles (also winning a Bronze in mixed doubles). In 1903 he became the first non-American player to win theU.S. National Championships.[3]

Early life

[edit]

Doherty was born on 8 October 1875 at Beulah Villa inWimbledon, Surrey, the youngest son of William Doherty, a printer, and his wife, Catherine Ann Davis. Doherty was the shorter of the two brothers, at 1.78 m, who played championship tennis in their native England and atWimbledon at the turn of the century.[4]

Like his brother he was educated atWestminster School from 1890 to 1894 followed byTrinity Hall, Cambridge, where he played for and became President of theCambridge University Lawn Tennis Club. He gained his blues in 1896, 1897, and 1898.[5][6] In 1892 Doherty won the Renshaw cup, the All-England Championships singles title for boys under 16 which was held inScarborough.[4][6]

In addition to lawn tennis he also playedreal tennis and golf.[6]

Career

[edit]

The brothers were reportedly urged to play tennis by their father, for health reasons.[7] Known as "Little Do",[7] Doherty won Wimbledon five consecutive times in singles and eight times in doubles with his brother. In 1903, he became the first tennis player to win aGrand Slam tournament outside of his native country by beating defending championWilliam Larned in three straight sets in the final of theUS Championships inNewport. He won the singles title at theBritish Covered Court Championships, played at theQueen's Club in London, six consecutive times between 1901 and 1906.[8] Additionally he won the singles title at TheSouth of France Championships inNice seven times in a row (1900–1906).[9]

Doherty won the singles event of the tennis competition at the1900 Summer Olympics in Paris.Gold medals were not given at the 1900 Games. In the semifinal he was scheduled to play against his brother but Reggie withdrew, since the brothers refused to play each other before the final.[10] In the final Doherty defeatedHarold Mahony in three straight sets. Doherty also won the doubles title at the1900 Olympic Games with his brother.[11][12] In the mixed doubles event he partnered withMarion Jones, the winner of the singles title at the 1899 U.S. Championships, and lost in the semifinal against his brother who had teamed up withCharlotte Cooper.

Between 1902 and 1906 Doherty played for the BritishDavis Cup team and was undefeated during this period. In 1902 he partnered his brother to win the doubles match in the challenge round against the United States but the latter retained the Cup after a 3–2 victory. In 1903 Doherty won both his singles matches as well as the doubles match to help the British Isles to their first Davis Cup victory. In 1904, 1905 and 1906 he was part of the British team that successfully defended the Cup.[13]

The brothers co-wroteR.F. and H.L. Doherty on Lawn Tennis (1903).

He gave up tennis for golf in 1906 and distinguished himself in that sport as well. In 1908 Doherty reached the last 16 of the British amateur championship at theRoyal St George's course.[4][12]

In 1914, after the outbreak ofWorld War I, Doherty joined the Anti-Aircraft branch of theRoyal Naval Volunteer Reserve but was released in 1915 due to ill health.[14]

Doherty died oftoxemia on 21 August 1919 at Leon Cottage inBroadstairs, Kent after having tubercularnephritis andcystitis for two years. He was inducted into theInternational Tennis Hall of Fame in 1980 together with his brother.[2][4]
