[7] In 1904 at age 17 years and 9 months, May Sutton won the singles title at the U.S. Championships on her first attempt and became the youngest US champion in history.

She did it while shocking the British audience by rolling up her sleeves to bare her elbows and wearing a skirt that showed her ankles.

[6] On December 11, 1912, she married Tom Bundy, who was a three-time winner of the men's doubles title at the U.S. Championships, and semi-retired to raise a family.

In 1925, she was a women's doubles finalist at the U.S. Championships and, although almost forty years of age, her game was strong enough to be selected for America's Wightman Cup team.

Sutton died of cancer on October 4, 1975, in Santa Monica, California and was interred in the local Woodlawn Memorial Cemetery.

Sutton played with an extreme Western grip and had a powerful topspin forehand that made the ball dip and bound high.
