Shared - 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. Evonne Cawley is occasionally credited incorrectly with winning the 1977 Ladies Doubles event at Wimbledon, due to the confusion regarding the married name of her compatriot Helen Gourlay who in fact took the trophy. Both women were listed in tournaments as Mrs. R. Cawley (Goolagong was Mrs. R.A.Cawley and Gourlay Mrs. R.L.Cawley). Goolagong Cawley did not participate at Wimbledon 1977.

Federation Cup

Goolagong played in 26 ties in the then-named Federation Cup between 1970 and 1982. Of the seven years she played, the Australian team won in three: 1971, 1973 and 1974. She accumulated a total of 35 wins over her career, which ties with Margaret Court and Dianne Balestrat as the third-most ever from an Australian. She holds a 22–3 singles record and a 13–2 record in doubles.

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]
