American tennis player
Evelyn Georgianna Sears (March 9, 1875 – November 10, 1966) was an American tennis player at the beginning of the 20th century.[1]
In 1907, she won the U.S. National Championship women's singles title, after beating Carrie Neely 6–3, 6–2 in the All-Comers final and the default of reigning champion Helen Homans in the Challenge Round. She also won the women's doubles title in 1908 with Margaret Curtis, beating Carrie Neely and Miriam Steever, 6–3, 5–7, 9–7.[2]
She was a cousin of the seven times winner of the men's singles title at the U.S. National Championship Richard Sears.
