  International Tennis Hall of Fame To Induct Seven Master Players in July

Ironically Ernest, turned down by the army twice (weak eyesight), kept applying, got in, and was killed by an enemy shell six months before hostilities ceased.
Nancye Wynne Bolton's 20 Aussie titles between 1936 and 1952 (six singles, 10 doubles with Thelma Coyne Long, four mixed) was the standard until Margaret Court's 11th singles and eighth doubles in 1973 gave her 21.
Wynne, a tall, rollicking Melburnian, often topped by an Anzac hat, undoubtedly would have done more, but for the financial limitations on overseas travel, and World War II.

 Excerpts from Tennis Styles and Stylists: QuickSports Tennis.
Her strokes were as attractive as her appearance; very much an all-court player, she advanced to the net behind either flat rising-ball shots or a well-produced service to volley neatly and effectively.
Margaret Smith became the greatest woman player in Australian tennis history, surpassing both Daphne Akhurst of the 1920s and the popular, hard-hitting Nancye Wynne Bolton, who had been Australian champion at the outbreak of the war and four times after it...
Tall and rangy, she was somewhat coltish in her early career, making up with power what she lacked in smoothness and control.
