At the French Open, she won the women's doubles three years running, along with Simonne Mathieu (1936–1938). With the same partner, she also won Wimbledon in 1937.

In 1935 Yorke won the singles title at the South of England Championships in Eastbourne after a three-sets victory in the final against Susan Noel.[1] In 1938 she won the singles title at the Egyptian Championship in Cairo.[2]

She also won the mixed doubles at the French Championships in 1936, along with Marcel Bernard.
