Tennis legend Margaret Court in Sabah
October 19th, 2009Tennis living legend Rev Dr Margaret Court, 67 was in Kota Kinabalu last weekend playing tennis for 30 minutes at the Sutera Harbour Resort covered tennis court.
She is the most successful tennis player who ever lived, with 62 Grand Slam titles, the first of which was the Australian Open in 1963 when she was 17, becoming the first Australian to win a Grand Slam, and the last of which was the US Open women’s doubles in 1975 with Virginia Wade, when they defeated Rosie Casals and Billie Jean King:
She won 24 Grand Slam singles titles, a record still unrivalled: 11 Australian Opens, 5 French Opens, 3 Wimbledons and 5 US Opens.
An interesting observation: she plays righthanded…
yet writes with her left hand:
Don’t you dare say she looks more like a Ladybug steam cleaners saleswoman than the greatest tennis player who ever walked the earth. The person who took the photos said she could still easily defeat men more than half her age.
