Evonne Goolagong Cawley career statistics

This is a list of the main career statistics of former Australian tennis player Evonne Goolagong Cawley. During her career, which lasted from 1967 to 1983, Goolagong won seven singles titles at a Grand Slam event and was a runner-up in 11 occasions. In addition, she won five Grand Slam doubles titles, partnering Margaret Court, Peggy Michel and Helen Gourlay, as well as one mixed doubles title with Kim Warwick. In total she won 84 singles titles, 53 doubles titles and 6 mixed doubles titles. She achieved the No. 1 singles ranking for a two-week period in April–May 1976, although this was only officially recognized in 2007. She was a member of the Australian Federation Cup teams that won the cup in 1971, 1973 and 1974.

Major finals

Grand Slam finals

Singles: 18 finals (7 titles, 11 runners-up)

Doubles: 6 finals (5 titles, 1 runner-up)

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.

Mixed doubles: 2 finals (1 title, 1 runner-up)

Year-End Championships finals

Singles: 3 finals (2 titles, 1 runner-up)

Grand Slam singles tournament timeline

Note: The Australian Open was held twice in '77, in January and December. Goolagong won the December edition. She was seeded #4 for the 1980 US Open Championships, but withdrew from the tournament before play began.

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.
