Dod, Lottie (Charlotte) (1871-1960)

English sportswoman. Probably the UK's greatest all-rounder, she was tennis's first child protégéé, winning her first Wimbledon title in 1887 at the age of 15 years 285 days, the youngest-ever champion. After achieving four more singles titles, she represented England in hockey in 1899, and won the British Ladies Open Golf championships in 1904 at Troon. Her career was completed with a silver medal for archery at the 1908 Olympic Games in London.

Dod's triumphs as a tennis player included defeating Wimbledon champion Ernest Renshaw in a handicapped exhibition match in 1885, and six-times winner Willie Renshaw in the same year. Her birthplace was Cheshire.
