i suspect the answer to be no, sadly |
I think there is a great deal of information available, in newspaper and other types of archives (a certain amount of it now online), on even the earliest of players. This means that it would be possible to write quite a detailed biography of someone like Major Ritchie, especially because the focus would, naturally, be on his lawn tennis career.
Of course, such a work would take a great deal of research, but I believe it could be done. Hopefully someone will at some point try to write a detailed biography of someone like Major Ritchie, or of an even more successful early lawn tennis player.
