Dorothy “Dodo” Cheney was the first American woman to win an Australian Open singles title in 1938. But that was just the beginning of her long career. She retired from competitive tennis in 2012 – at the age of ninety-five! At the time of her retirement, Dodo had won a record 394 US national titles.
When asked why she had continued to play for over seventy years, Dodo replied, “Because I love winning.”
