Shared – final rained out

Note: The shared women's doubles title at the Australian Open in 1977 (December) isn't traditionally counted in Goolagong's win total because the finals were never played. Otherwise, she would have 14 Grand Slam titles, 6 Grand Slam women's doubles titles, and 7 Grand Slam women's doubles finals.

Rivalries

Every Grand Slam singles champion from 1962 to 1986 was an active player at some point during Goolagong-Cawley's career. Of these eighteen other players (excluding Evonne herself), she never played a competitive singles match against either Maria Bueno or Karen Hantze-Susman. Of the other sixteen, she scored at least one victory over all these opponents throughout her career, with the exception of Ann Haydon-Jones. Jones won all three of their competitive matches from 1969 to 1971.

Notes

  1. Due to an oversight some of her tournament records in 1976 were not properly transferred to a computer, which meant that Goolagong did not receive the No. 1 ranking at the time. The mistake was acknowledged by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) in December 2007 and after correcting the records she retroactively received the No. 1 ranking. [1] [2]
