(b) received bye in first round
(d) won one match by default.
Red = Played on Green clay
Blue = Played on Hardcourts
Quite an impressive list, the player who did it the most times (4) is Helen Wills.
Also worth noting that in 5 out last 7 years, the winner has won the title without dropping a set along the way. Will we see another one this year?
