During the 80's watching young Andrea Jaeger and her braced teeth battle with Martina and co on the US hardcourts was a strong memory, so voted for her

Diane Fromholtz reached 4 in the world and won 1977 Australian Open. In 1973 , she did the treble of Guildford, Chichester and Beckenham on grass in May, sort of like winning the 3 pre Wimbledon challengers nowadays.

Struggling with this one. I seem to link Dianne Fromholtz with always giving Wade and Barker difficult matches whenever she played them so am not sure I can go with her. Will need to revert here.
