Coral Buttsworth

Coral Buttsworth, born Coral McInnes on 7 June 1900 and died on 20 December 1985, was an Australian tennis player who won the singles title at the Australian Championships in 1931 and 1932 and the women's doubles title there in 1932. In 1933 she reached the final again but lost in straight sets to the top seed Joan Hartigan. She is noted as the only multiple winner of the Australian singles title who never won a state singles title. A strong, thick-set player from Sydney, she was addicted to chopping the ball, owned an excellent drop shot and was quick around the court, and she preferred to manoeuvre opponents out of position by running them up and back rather than from side to side.
