Tennis Champion Matilda Walker Dies at 85

By Louie Estrada

Matilda Roumania Peters Walker, 85, who learned to play tennis on a clay court in Washington in the days of racial segregation and became one of America's top-rated black tennis players, died May 16 at Prince George's Hospital Center of complications from pneumonia. She had lived with her daughter in New Carrollton since the late 1990s and lived previously in Washington.
