The period after the Second World War saw Wimbledon return to its place as the centre of the tennis calendar. New stars, headed by Maureen Connolly, Maria Bueno, Louise Brough, Maragret duPont, Althea Gibson, and Doris Hart provided spectacular moments for fans looking to return to life after the conflict.

This book chronicles every women’s singles match played at Wimbledon between 1946 and 1959, and includes an index of all quarter finalists.

If you ever wanted to know who played and won, this is a must.
