Wesley Moodie<br />

after her triumph at <strong>Surbiton</strong> she won the singles<br />

title at Roland Garros. Her post-tennis career as a<br />

TV sports presenter at the BBC has won her even<br />

more accolades than her tennis did.<br />

David Lloyd<br />

(champion 1978)<br />

Essex-born Lloyd learned a thing or two about<br />

resilience on the tennis court, a skill that prepared<br />

him well for an enormously successful business<br />

career during which he launched many property<br />

and leisure businesses, including the health club<br />

chain that still bears his name. He was even once<br />

chairman of Hull City AFC.<br />

Evonne Goolagong Cawley<br />

(champion 1978)<br />

Goolagong was already well established as an<br />

international champion when she won her<br />

<strong>Surbiton</strong> title. The third of eight children from an<br />

Australian Aboriginal family, she won seven Grand<br />

Slam singles titles in all between 1971 (at the age<br />

of 20) and 1980 (three years after she became a<br />

mother).<br />

Evonne Goolagong Cawley<br />

Wesley Moodie<br />

(champion 2003)<br />

This tall South African player loved <strong>Surbiton</strong> so<br />

much that, after winning the title in 2003, he<br />

moved very close to the club with his family for<br />

several years. In 2011 he retired from tennis and<br />

returned to South Africa.<br />

Brenda Schultz-McCarthy<br />

(champion 2007)<br />

Brenda’s booming serve was devastating on the<br />

grass courts of <strong>Surbiton</strong>. At one time this Dutch<br />

player (who now lives in Florida) held the female<br />

record for the world’s fastest serve.<br />
