Summary:

Grand Slam glory showered down on Margaret Court-who became only the second female ever to win the Australian, French, Wimbledon and US Opens crowns in one calendar year.

Court's record for the year was 104-6 (94.5%). She won 21 of 27 events and had a win streak of 39 matches. Without doubt she was head and shoulders above everyone else.

Court was clearly #2. Billie Jean King was just as solid a #2, capturing the Italian Open, the fifth most important event in tennis. Rosie Casals was the near consensus #3. After that the experts were all over the map.

The women were increasingly being sidelined when it came to money.

World Tennis magazine founder Gladys Heldman was eager to turn the discontent into positive action. Using her business connections, Heldman was able to get Virginia Slims CEO Joe Cullman to sponsor a women's-only event in Houston. The purse was small ($7,500) but the act was akin to leaping over a canyon. Defying predictions, the event was a success. A second event in Richmond also did well. By the year's end Heldman and Cullman were putting together a tour in defiance of the USTA. Women's tennis as we know it today with its' own separate tour was born.

3 top Aussie women face bans by their home nation. Kerry Melville (#2 Aussie), Judy Dalton (#4) recently joined the rebel Virginia Slims group. Fellow pro Karen Krantzcke (#3) has decided to join as well. Rather than go home and play in their home nation for peanuts, the ladies will stay in the United States and play Slims events starting in January. With no support from the Aussie LTA the air fare back and forth from the US to Australia is not economical. All 3 will miss the upcoming Federation Cup and the Australian Open.
