Maria Bueno steps onto stadium court in Rio<\/p><\/div>\n

Rio de Janeiro, 19 February 2014<\/em><\/p>\n

The Rio Open paid tribute to Maria on Wednesday night at\u00a0 Jockey Club Brasiliero, acknowledging her as one of the biggest names of\u00a0 Brazilian Sport and a world tennis icon.<\/p>\n

The winner of 19 Grand Slam titles stepped onto centre court\u00a0 to watch a video screened to the song \u2018Mary, Mary\u2019 by Milton Nascimento and\u00a0 produced by the organisers as homage to her brilliant career.<\/p>\n

It\u00a0 all brought a standing ovation from the spectators.<\/p>\n

You can view the video now on YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n

Maria received a plaque to\u00a0 commemorate the occasion from the tournament director, Luiz Fernando Carvalho,\u00a0 who is also the grandson of Alcides Procopius, the first Brazilian to play at\u00a0 Wimbledon and an important influence on her career.<\/p>\n

“I was thrilled to see my good times on the court, I am very\u00a0 happy to be here,” said the four-time US Open (1959, 1963, 1964 and 1966) and\u00a0 three-time Wimbledon singles champion (1959, 1960 and 1964).<\/p>\n

“I hope that everything I did serves in some way to inspire\u00a0 young players, and this tournament in Rio is the first of many. Brazil needs\u00a0 events like this.”<\/p>\n

“I want to thank you for everything you did for tennis. You\u00a0are an example to be followed,” said Carvalho.<\/p>\n
