| Bio | Mary comes from a tennis-loving family and therefore she already started early with the game. Her successes include the Scandinavian championships (three times) and a French indoor title. She was in the semifinals at American Tennis Championships at Forest Hills (forerunner of the US. Open). In the years 1936, 1937 and 1939 she was also a member of the Wightman Cup team. During the Second World War she was an advisor to the company called Wilson Sporting Goods. Thus they came to the US, where they the British Davis Cup player and US Open referee Charles Hare (* July 16, 1915; † 18 November 1996) met. The couple married in 1943 and lived a long time in Chicago, but she always had a house in Wimbledon. She also traveled a lot with other athletes across America to make known the sport of tennis. She went first with Alice Marble and later with Bill Tilden, Bobby Riggs, Don Budge and Jack Kramer. Mary Hare wrote for various magazines, so for Lawn Tennis and Badminton and Tennis World. In 1939 she published the tennis players Joan Fry and Stanley N. Doust the book Lawn Tennis: How to Master the Strokes. Her brother Derek Hardwick was chairman of the Lawn Tennis Association and later President of the International Tennis Federation. |
