WIMBLEDON 1962 Karen Susman Serving. Point to Vera Sukova

62/56 WIMBLEDON 1962 It was an all Australian Final. As Laver (right) and. Mulligan came on to the Centre Court they bowed to the Queen. To see the title-match Her Majesty was in the Royal Box. Mulligan's service held no terrors for the champion, Rod Laver. From the start the big crowd on the Centre Court realised that Laver was serving up power tennis in the manner of the great Wimbledon champions. Mulligan nets; point to Laver, Laver (this end) won the first two sets and was now well on the way to victory in the third, though dropping a point here and there, Mulligan was hopelessly outclassed but grimly stuck to his task. Laver serving. Point here to Mulligan. With the Queen in the Royal Box were Princess Margaret and Princess Marina. Laver, now led 5-1 in set-three. Laver lobs a sitter, but Mulligan nets. Mulligan serving. Match point to Laver. Again Mulligan nets, Laver wins in straight sets. Her Majesty herself came onto the court to present the Trophy; the cup that goes with the Wimbledon title, the most prized of all in world tennis. The Queen spoke for everybody when she congratulated that great player, Rod Laver. Next day, the Women's Final. Karen Susman (left) against Vera Sukova, of Czechoslovakia, conqueror of Angela Mortimer, Darlene Hard and Maria Bueno. Karen Susman serving. Point to Vera Sukova. Susman serving. Point to Sukova. Mrs. Sukova, at the far end, lost the first set 4-6. She teas now limping, result of a fall in her Hotel, the day before. An injury was again helping to decide the Women's Final. Susman serving. Sukova can't hope to win now but she sticks to it and wins a point. Match point. Sukova can't move fast enough to reach it, so the l$-year-old Califomian girl, Karen Susman wins. There to present the trophy is Princess Marina. A wonderful triumph for a girl of 19. And while everyone sympathised with her opponent from Czechoslovakia there was all-round congratulations for Karen Susman, winner of the Wimbledon title. .

The Grand Slam Tennis Program allows you to see how recent grand slam tennis champions would fair against champions from the past. You can choose from more than 90 former men's grand slam champions and more than 80 former Women's Champions. In addition, you can choose to play the tennis match at the Australian Open, U.S. Open, Wimbledon, or French Open. International tennis matches can also be played, with the option of choosing from many countries around the world. The program is perfect for simulating individual match ups or holding an entire tournament. This is not video graphic game. It is a statistical game based on each former tennis player’s historical success in playing major grand slam singles events. While some players have a higher probability of success, their performance in any particular tournament is still subject to the laws of random probability. For example, a player who has had major success in the French Open is likely to do well in the French Open, but could still lose to a player who has had less historical success in the French Open.

Steve Wennerstrom Papers Finding
T h e Steve Wennerstrom Papers The H.J. Lutcher Stark Center for Physical Culture & Sports The University of Texas at Austin Finding Aid Steve Wennerstrom Papers: 77 Boxes, 2 Oversized Boxes: 2833 Folders, 17 Artifacts, 130 Videos, no date, 1836-2014 (11491 items) Abstract Steve Wennerstrom is an expert on the history of women’s bodybuilding. He has served as the International Federation of Bodybuilders (IFBB) Women’s Historian. However, his interest in women’s sports extends beyond bodybuilding and the collection reflects that reality. Almost every sport that women have played is represented, making the Steve Wennerstrom Papers an invaluable resource to all researchers with an interest in women’s sports. Wennerstrom graduated from Cal State Fullerton and ran track. He also created one of the first women’s track publications, Women’s Track and Field World. The collection covers everything from strongwomen and circus performers to bodybuilding and powerlifting. It is truly an amazing knowledge base for bodybuilding and sports fans everywhere, especially those interested in the rise of women’s sports throughout the recent decades. Access Access to the Steve Wennerstrom Papers is restricted to visitors of the H.J. Lutcher Stark Center for Physical Culture and Sports and must be requested in writing prior to arrival at the Center. Furthermore, certain items in the collection (as identified below) are not suitable to be viewed by minors. The research request/proposal should explain the proposed project, the expected outcome, and institutional affiliation, if any. Requests should be sent to: Dr. Jan Todd at [email protected].

MILLION-TO-ONE FINAL – Shock for Fancy Pants La Bueno
SKETCH SPORT, Friday, July 6, 1962 By Laurie Pignon Shock for fancy pants La Bueno WIMBLEDON must surely be under a black magic spell, for tomorrow the Centre Court will see the million-to-one final between 30-year-old Czech housewife, Vera Sukova, and 19-year old Karen Susman, from Texas. The American was seeded No. 8 and few people expected the Czech to survive her first match. In the two shock semi-finals yesterday, Vera beat twice-champion Maria Bueno 6-4, 6-3 and Karen defeated Britain’s Ann Haydon 8-6, 6-1. Vera Sukova, who took up tennis 11 years ago when she broke her wrist playing international basketball, was cheered into and out of the interview room. She could hardly stop smiling. She admitted that she wished her husband could see her play in the final, but he was away in Stockholm. No Fluke When I asked if she thought she could beat Bueno she told me “I was not very happy about it. I lost to her in Rome in two sets 6-2, 6-2. I lost to her before in Paris and thought I would lose to her again.” For the last two weeks everyone has been calling Mrs Sukova a one day wonder, but you cannot have a fluke lasting a fortnight. Look at her record. She beat Australian Jan Lehane in her first match, Wimbledon champion, Angela Mortimer, in her second, American champion, Darlene Hard, in her thirds, and now La Bueno in one of the biggest shocks the Centre Court is ever likely to see.
