  • THROWBACK THURSDAY: MARIA BUENO WINS HER THIRD WIMBLEDON Thursday 29 May 2014 by Leigh Walsh
    THROWBACK THURSDAY: MARIA BUENO WINS HER THIRD WIMBLEDON Thursday 29 May 2014 By Leigh Walsh By Leigh Walsh Our Throwback Thursday series continues as Maria Bueno wins her third and final Wimbledon title , the only South American woman to win The Championships. Wimbledon.com goes back in time... “If you like graceful women and good tennis, you can watch Maria Bueno all day,” wrote Sports Illustrated’s Herbert Warren Wind in 1960. The Brazilian youngster, at 20, had just won back-to-back singles titles at Wimbledon and her talent was sending a wave of interest across the sporting world. Like Suzanne Lenglen before her and Evonne Goolagong Cawley after her, Bueno’s ability to wield a racket like a magician would a wand separated her from her peers. The right-hander was born to a tennis-loving couple who thrust a racket into their daughter’s hands at a young age. Along with her parents and brother Pedro, the Buenos spent much of their time hitting tennis balls back and forth at Clube de Regatas Tiete in Sâo Paulo on the doorstep of their family home. It was some 6,000 miles away, however, on the lawns of the All England Club where Bueno made a lasting mark on the game. And by the time the “Sao Paulo Swallow” arrived in South West London in 1964 bidding for a hat- trick of Wimbledon titles, she was a household name with her all-court game, fluid movement and elegant strokes endearing her to fans. The top four seeds all advanced to the semi-final stage that year.

Winning the title at each major in the same year is known as the “Grand Slam”. Three women have completed the singles Grand Slam in a calendar year: 1953 – Maureen Connolly; 1970 – Margaret Court; 1988 – Stefanie Graf. A further seven women have won each Grand Slam singles title at least once in their careers (known as the career Grand Slam): Doris Hart, Shirley Fry, Billie Jean King, Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova, Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova, with Navratilova (1983-84) and Williams (2002-03, 2014-15) holding all four titles at the same time. Australia’s Margaret Court holds the record for all-time Grand Slam singles titles (men or women) with 24 titles, ahead of Serena Williams, who holds the Open Era record with 23 Grand Slam singles titles. In the Open Era, eight women have won three of the four Grand Slam titles: Lindsay Davenport, Evonne Goolagong Cawley, Justine Henin, Martina Hingis, Angelique Kerber, Hana Mandlikova, Monica Seles and Virginia Wade.

  • Women's Tennis
    ADVANTAG E: Women’s Tennis The ITA Women’s Collegiate Tennis Hall of Fame at William and Mary Celebrates the Legends of the Game By Sara Piccini he first intercollegiate tennis championship for men was held in 1883, with Harvard University’s Joseph Clark winning the Tsingles title. Women would have to wait a few more years for their own championship — 75 more years, to be exact. The long wait can be attributed to a number of factors, including lack of funding and lack of a strong governing body for women’s collegiate sports. And many college officials actively discouraged competition, touting “the spirit of play for its own sake,” concerned that young women couldn’t handle the competitive side of athletics. But women were proving just the opposite on the tennis court. The great champion Helen Wills, for instance, who earned a Phi Beta Kappa key from the University of California at Berkeley in 1925, won 31 Grand Slam titles and two Olympic gold medals during the 1920s and ’30s. Inspired by these female champions, a pioneering group of women and men finally convinced the United States Lawn Tennis Association (now the USTA) to sponsor the first women’s intercollegiate champi - onship in 1958. Darlene Hard of Pomona College in California won the singles title. The following year, William and Mary’s own Donna Floyd Fales ’62 captured the singles title. Benefactors Betsy Nagelsen and the late Mark McCormack ’51, L.H.D. ’97 Women also had to wait a little longer for their own collegiate tennis with Hall of Fame Curator Millie West, honorary alumna.

  • Maureen Connolly
    San Diego’s Sweetheart: Maureen Connolly Joey Seymour “I’ve got everything I want. Everything I’ve had, I got through tennis. It gave me a terribly exciting life. I met so many people in exalted positions. It opened so many doors and it’s still opening them. I’ve had a wonderful life. If I should leave tomorrow, I’ve had the experience of 20 people.”1 – Maureen Connolly Maureen Connolly was nationally recognized as a tennis star from San Diego in the 1950s. At age eleven, she was dubbed “Little Mo” by San Diego sports writer Nelson Fisher who claimed that her power forehand and backhand had the same firepower as the big guns of the USS Missouri, known as the “Big Mo.”2 The Associated Press named her Female Athlete of the Year for three consecutive years (1952, 1953, and 1954), an honor she achieved by developing a particularly aggressive style of play. After her career came to a crashing halt on July 20, 1954, when she was thrown from her horse, “Little Mo” continued to pack a great deal into her life. She frequently told people, “I’ve lived ten lives.” She was a tennis champion, newspaper reporter and author, wife, mother, restaurateur, sporting- goods spokeswoman, television and radio color commentator, philanthropist, and cancer victim, before dying at age thirty-four. The following article provides a retrospective look at the many lives of Maureen Sixteen year-old Maureen Connolly practices at a public tennis court in Connolly.

What are my plans for improving the program? ............................................................... 12 1 1. Introduction - What is the grand slam tennis program? 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.
