The 8 of Clubs coordinate

Reginald Doherty was born October 14 (1872-10-14). Month 10 and day 14 give solar value 21, which is the 8 of Clubs (The Ambitious Builder). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1872 is unused. The 8 of Clubs does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Reginald Doherty for United Kingdom.

Your mind calculates power, influence, and success. You're ambitious and know how to leverage ideas into position. You think like a chess player.

Reginald Doherty in the public record

F." Frank Doherty (14 October 1872 – 29 December 1910) was a British tennis player and the older brother of tennis player Laurence Doherty. He was known in the tennis world as "R.F." rather than "Reggie". He was a four-time Wimbledon singles champion and a triple Olympic Gold medalist in doubles and mixed doubles. Doherty was born on 14 October 1872 at Beulah Villa in Wimbledon, the oldest son of William Doherty, a printer, and his wife Catherine Ann Davis. Doherty began tennis early in life and as a boy at Westminster School showed great promise. At age 14, he won the boys' singles title at an open championship in Llandudno. Doherty was educated at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, where he played for the Cambridge University Lawn Tennis Club. In 1895 and 1896, he was part of the Cambridge team that beat Oxford and won the Scottish and Essex championships.
