desire for romantic sporting heroines by winning</div> <div> Wimbledon in 1977, the tournament's Centenary year,when she was watched by the Queen,</div> <div> who was celebrating her Jubilee.</div> <div> Prevviously she had had a love -hate relationship with Wimbledon,</div> <div> usually failing to live up to the public's optimistic expectations.</div> <div> She won all the major championships except the French before virtually retiring</div> <div> in 1981,saying she would return to play 'just for fun'.Such was the nations interest</div> <div> that even a change of hairstyle provoked columns of newsprint.</div> <bR> <div> 'Ginny'grew up in South Africa,where her father was Episcopal Archdeacon of Durban,</div> <div> but at the age of 15 the family returned to England and she went on to graduate from</div> <div> Sussex University in 1966 with a BSc in maths and physics.</div> <div> She was ranked No 1 in Britain for a record 10 consecutive years and also holds the records</div> <div> for the most number of appearances in the Wightman and Federation Cup teams.</div> <div> Was one of only five women to earn a million dollars from tournament competition,she published her autobiography,</div> <div> Courting Triumph,in 1978,the year after she was BBC TV Sports Personality of the Year.</div> <div> In 1982 she began a new career as a BBC commentator.      </div> <div>
