Medal record

Reginald "Reggie" or "R. F."Frank Doherty (14 October 1872 – 29 December 1910) was a Britishtennis player and the older brother of tennis playerLaurence Doherty. He was known in the tennis world as "R.F." rather than "Reggie".[3] He was a four-time Wimbledon singles champion and a triple Olympic Gold medalist in doubles and mixed doubles.[4]

Early life

[edit]

Doherty was born on 14 October 1872 at Beulah Villa in Wimbledon, the oldest son of William Doherty, a printer, and his wife Catherine Ann Davis.[5] Doherty began tennis early in life and as a boy atWestminster School showed great promise. At age 14, he won the boys' singles title at an open championship in Llandudno. Doherty was educated atTrinity Hall, Cambridge, where he played for theCambridge University Lawn Tennis Club.[6] In 1895 and 1896, he was part of the Cambridge team that beat Oxford and won the Scottish and Essex championships.

Career

[edit]

Grand Slam tournaments

Doherty played in his first Wimbledon Championships in 1894 and lost in the first round toClement Cazalet in four sets. In 1897 Doherty won his first singles Wimbledon title after beating reigning championHarold Mahony in three straight sets (6–4, 6–4, 6–3). He successfully defended his title for the next three years (1898, 1899, 1900). In 1898 he did so by beating his brother in the Challenge Round in five sets. In 1901 he finally lost his Wimbledon crown when he was defeated in the Challenge Round byArthur Gore in four sets). He was also a runner-up at theUS Championships in 1902 where he was beaten by the defending American championWilliam Larned in four sets. Together with his brother Laurie he won eight Wimbledon Championships doubles titles and two US Championship doubles titles.

Davis Cup

Doherty represented the British Isles in the prestigiousDavis Cup contest from 1902 to 1906. In 1902 he won the doubles match with his brother but lost the final and decisive singles match against AmericanMalcolm Whitman in straight sets. In 1903 he contributed significantly to his team's first Davis Cup title against the United States by winning the doubles match and the decisive singles match againstRobert Wrenn. Doherty won the Davis Cup trophy a further three times (1904, 1905, 1906) although in these years he only competed, and won, in the doubles matches.[7]

Olympics

Doherty won the doubles title (gold medals were not given at the 1900 Games) at the1900 Olympic Games in Paris with his brother.[8] He also competed in the singles tournament and reached the semifinal, where he was scheduled to play against his brother. Reggie withdrew, since the brothers refused to play each other before the final.[9] He also won the mixed doubles title with five-time Wimbledon championCharlotte Cooper. Doherty did not compete in the1904 Olympics in St. Louis. In the1908 Olympics in London, Reggie again won the doubles title, this time with compatriotGeorge Hillyard.[10]

R.F. Doherty was inducted into theInternational Tennis Hall of Fame in 1980 together with his brother.[2]

Death

[edit]

Doherty died of heart failure and neurasthenia on 29 December 1910 at age 38 at his home in Kensington, a day after returning from a convalescence stay in a sanatorium in Davos, Switzerland.[5][11]

According to his obituary inThe New York Times, Doherty had "been in ill health for some time". The article further stated he "held at various times every important championship the world of tennis has for a man to win. He was not beaten until he began to fail in health".[3] Both brothers apparently had respiratory problems throughout their lives.[12]

R.F. and his brother had been urged to take up lawn tennis by their father, reportedly for health reasons.[3]
