Charlotte Cooper Sterry (1870–1966) won the women's singles tennis competition at the 1900 Olympic Games in Paris, the first time women were allowed to take part. Cooper Sterry had already made a name for herself as a multiple Wimbledon winner in the women's singles (1895, 1896, 1898). She went on to win Wimbledon two more times, her last victory coming in 1908.
