Conchita Martinez

"Grass is for cows," Conchita Martinez liked to say. Then in July 1994, at 22, she beat the 37-year-old Martina Navratilova 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, denying the nine-time champion a tenth title in her last major final and becoming the first Spanish woman to win Wimbledon. The looping topspin and cut slice of Senorita Topspin scrambled the great volleyer's rhythm; Navratilova admitted she had rarely been passed so well. That 1 major stood alone: finals at the 1998 Australian Open and 2000 Roland Garros went to Martina Hingis and Mary Pierce.

The rest of the career ran on the same patience: a career-high of world No. 2 in October 1995, twelve Grand Slam semifinals and 33 career titles. Alongside Arantxa Sanchez Vicario she anchored five Fed Cup wins for Spain, and three Olympic doubles medals came at Barcelona, Atlanta and Athens. After retiring in 2006 she coached Garbine Muguruza to the 2017 Wimbledon title, twenty-three years after her own, and entered the Hall of Fame in 2020.
