She won the All England covered mixed doubles in 1905 with Reginald Doherty. She won the Monte Carlo tournament in 1906, 1907 and 1908, won the London covered court ladies singles in October 1906 and April 1907, and reached the final in October 1907. She won the All England covered mixed doubles a second time in 1908 with Anthony Wilding. The same year, she won the Women's indoor singles at the Olympic Games in London.
