Must admit I didn't expect to see Lindsey Blachford here. I went to the same school as her and once ball-girled a match for her! What a claim to fame for me!!!! Had to vote for her! I remember when she played junior Wimbledon and we (well, some of us!) were totally in awe of her.

I think she beat an early-career Sue Barker at Wimbledon so she cant have been too shabby a player!
I saw Corinne Molesworth early in my tennis watching years so I've voted for her!
Her best results junior and senior were at the French Open on clay which is interesting.
She reached the quarter finals of the French Championships in 1972 beating Wimbledon finalist Judy Dalton on route and losing to Evonne Goolagong in the quarters. She was yet another Devonian coached by Arthur Roberts.
Interesting, several gone for Julie Pullin. I know the name but not her story, anyone?
Julie and the Pullins are a tennis family from Sussex. She is now Julie Hobbs and was playing from the early 90's to 2003. She was the top ranked British female at one stage but never broke into the top100.In 2000 she qualified for the Australian Open and won a round. Unfortunately she was the recipient of 9 singles wild cards at Wimbledon without winning a match. In one match against Marlene Weingartner she did have match points but lost.
