Mima Jausovec

Everything ran through Paris for Mima Jausovec. Raised on the clay courts of Maribor, she reached three Roland Garros singles finals in seven seasons and won the first, in 1977, beating Florenta Mihai 6-2, 6-7, 6-1 at 20. That made her the first Grand Slam singles champion from Yugoslavia, and still the only one from Slovenia. Virginia Ruzici beat her in the 1978 final, though the two shared the doubles title that same fortnight, and Chris Evert ended the last run in 1983.

The rest of the career carried the same clay grain. She won the Italian Open at nineteen in 1976, reached semifinals at the 1976 US Open and the 1980 Australian Open, and climbed to world No. 6 in 1982. Her 1 major anchors 7 career titles. After retiring in 1988 she stayed at the centre of Slovenian tennis, captaining the Fed Cup team, first for Yugoslavia and from 1991 for independent Slovenia, and stood for the European Parliament in 2004.
