The Women’s Tennis Association announced on Monday the passing of British tennis legend Angela Mortimer Barrett, winner of three Grand Slam titles and Wimbledon’s longest surviving champion, at the age of 93. Mortimer Barrett, who suffered from partial deafness, won the French Championships (now the French Open) in 1955, the same year she won the Wimbledon Ladies’ Doubles title with Anne Shilcock. She claimed the Australian Championships (later renamed the Australian Open) three years later, before winning the Wimbledon singles title in 1961. Mortimer Barrett said, “I could hear the crowd’s applause but nothing else. I think that helped me focus and block out distractions. When players say they need to hear the ball, I smile because I couldn’t hear it.” She retired in 1967 and was inducted into the Tennis Hall of Fame in 1993. She was married to former player and commentator John Barrett.

The Women’s Tennis Association noted that the Barrett couple are one of only two couples in the Hall of Fame for their individual achievements, alongside Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf.
