Helping my daughter research for Black History month... Althea Gibson played on the professional tour in the early 50s, and won the French Open in 1956 before Ryland appeared in Cleveland. Beej65 (talk) 15:07, 1 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Oops, found my own answer. Gibson was an amateur when she won in '56. Disregard. Beej65 (talk) 15:10, 1 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
