 | | USA, Maureen Connolly Cup Winners 2007 |
Maureen Connolly, known as "Little Mo", was one of the most remarkably successful champions the game has known. Extremely determined and with a high degree of concentration, she won the US singles title at the age of 16 in 1951 and thereafter lost only four singles matches -- two to Doris Hart, one to Shirley Fry and one to Beverley Fleitz before she broke her leg in a riding accident in 1954. The first woman to achieve a Grand Slam of the four major championships in a calendar year, a feat she achieved in 1953.
