The Brisbane International women’s singles trophy was today named in honor of one of Australia’s greatest ever tennis players, Evonne Goolagong Cawley.

“Evonne, who was ranked in the top 10 for nine years and finished her career with multiple grand slam titles, was the obvious choice to name the women’s trophy after”,

Tournament Director Cameron Pearson said today.

“She has contributed so much to the game during her career and continues to do so with her National Development Camp and work with indigenous youth.

Goolagong is a former World No.1 and was one of the world’s leading players in the 1970s and early 1980s, when she won 14 major titles: seven in singles (four Australian Open, two Wimbledon and one French Open) six in women’s doubles, and one in mixed doubles.

She came close to completing a career Grand Slam with the US Open the only major to elude her. She lost four consecutive finals there between 1973 and 1976.

She is the third of eight children from an Australian Aboriginal family and grew up in the small country town of Barellan and has been awarded Australian of the Year in 1971, an MBE in 1972, made an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) in 1982 and in 1988, Goolagong was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame.
