In 1909 they defeated in the final of the All- Comers competition at the Wimbledon Championships Agnes Morton. Since last year's winner Charlotte Cooper did not compete to defend their title, their title was awarded. In doubles, she was successful in 1913.

In 1909, she won Badminton All England Mixed in with Albert Davis Prebble. In 1914 she married Arthur C. Geen.
