Racket Sports

Betty Stöve is a Dutch former professional tennis player, born on 24 June 1945, best known for reaching the ladies' singles final, the ladies' doubles final and the mixed doubles final in the same year at Wimbledon in 1977, although she lost all three. She made her Grand Slam debut at Wimbledon in 1964. A virus complicated by a malfunctioning thyroid gland kept her out of tennis for about eighteen months in the late 1960s, and she returned to the circuit afterwards. Across her career she won ten major titles, spread between women's doubles and mixed doubles.
