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 />
