One day, a Black musician named Buddy Walker saw Althea playing paddle tennis. He realized how good she was. ,So he bought her a real tennis racket and took her to a tennis court. Althea instantly fell in love with tennis. She started playing in the All Black American Tennis Association Tournaments. When she was just fifteen, Althea played in the New York State Girls’ Open Tennis Tournament and got as far as the finals.
