Doris Hart Signature

Hart’s 35 major championships ranks fifth in history (tied with Louise Brough) and behind a red carpet ensemble of players: Margaret Court, Martina Navratilova, Billie Jean King and Margaret Osborne duPont are the only players in history who won more.

Hart was the first player in tennis history to win a career Grand Slam in all events, known as a “boxed set.” Only Court and Navratilova have accomplished this in women’s tennis history and no male player has earned this. Hart reached at least the quarterfinals of 32 of the 34 major singles events she played and in 18 trips to the final won six.
