Rosemary Casals

Rosie Casals is one of those athletes whose influence outruns her trophy count, and that is why I admire her. Standing only 159 cm, she still collected more than ninety titles, but the part that matters most to me is her role in reshaping women's tennis through the turbulent 1960s and 70s. She belongs to the generation that fought for the women's game to be taken seriously, and that conviction is harder to win than any final. Her 1996 Hall of Fame induction confirms the record; her courage explains why it mattered. I see her as a small fighter who helped change a whole sport.

Rosemary Casals (born September 16, 1948) is an American former professional tennis player. During a tennis career that spanned more than two decades, she won more than 90 titles and was crucial to many of the changes in women's tennis during the 1960s and 1970s. Casals was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1996.
