Maria Bueno wins Wimbledon for the third time in 1964<\/p><\/div>\n

1964 Wimbledon Singles Title<\/h2>\n

There is a wonderful article on Maria Bueno’s third Wimbledon win written by Leigh Walsh for the Wimbledon website as part of its Throwback Thursday series as Wimbledon.com<\/a>\u00a0goes back in time…<\/p>\n

Released on 29 May 2014, the story depicts\u00a0Maria winning her third and final Wimbledon title, the only South American woman to win The Championships:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you like graceful women and good tennis, you can watch Maria Bueno all day,\u201d wrote Sports Illustrated\u2019s Herbert Warren Wind in 1960.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Brazilian youngster, at 20, had just won back-to-back singles titles at Wimbledon and her talent was sending a wave of interest across the sporting world.

The top four seeds all advanced to the semi-final stage that year. Margaret Smith, Billie Jean Moffitt and Lesley Turner \u2013 or as we know them today Margaret Court, Billie Jean King and Lesley Bowrey \u2013 all joined Bueno in the final four.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Maria<\/a>

Maria Bueno and Margaret Court fought out the 1964 Wimbledon singles final over three sets<\/p><\/div>\n

Bueno, the No. 2 seed, had dropped just 12 games in her opening four matches before overcoming the unyielding baseliner Turner, who was a two-time French Open champion, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 in the semi-final.<\/em><\/p>\n

Her opponent in the final was a familiar foe, Margaret Smith. The top seeded Australian, who was the defending champion, had defeated Bueno in the French Open final one month previously and the Brazilian was seeking revenge…”<\/em><\/p>\n
