Rivalries[]

Every Grand Slam singles champion from 1962-1986 was an active player at some point during Goolagong-Cawley's career. Of these eighteen other players (excluding Evonne herself), she never played a competitive singles match against either Maria Bueno or Karen Hantze-Susman. Of the other sixteen, she scored at least one victory over all these opponents throughout her career, with the exception of Ann Haydon-Jones. Their only competitive meeting came in the second round of the 1969 New South Wales Open, which Jones won 6-2 6-1.

Notes[]

  1. ^ Due to an oversight some of her tournament records in 1976 were not properly transferred to a computer, which meant that Goolagong did not receive the No. 1 ranking at the time. The mistake was acknowledged by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) in December 2007 and after correcting the records she retroactively received the No. 1 ranking.[1][2]
