ELIZABETH RYAN
The English-American star Elizabeth Ryan is another
player of marked individuality. Born in California,
Miss Ryan migrated to England while
quite young. For the past decade "Bunny," as she
is called, has been a prominent figure in English and
Continental tournaments.
Miss Ryan has a queer push-reverse twist service
that is well placed but carries little speed. She
chops viciously forehand and backhand off the
ground and storms the net at every opening. Her
volleying is crisp and decisive. Overhead she is
severe but erratic. She is a dogged fighter, never
so dangerous as when behind. Her tactics are aggressive
attack at all times, and if this fails she is
lost.
Although Miss Ryan is an American by birth she
must be considered as an English player, for her
development is due to her play in England.
