Born in Moscow, for Morozova, the prize money was not particularly relevant.
The 76 -year -old said, “I came from the Soviet Union. We were not professionals, we were amateur. The money that I not only won here, but in Wimbledon, everywhere, was going to our federation,” 76 -year -old said.
“They paid for my journey, they paid for my coach, they paid for me.”
That “whichever is” will include transport and housing.
“We arrived by the Queen by the tube,” he said. “We were staying in the court of Elly in an B&B. It was not a very good B&B, I think there were three floors toilets and rain [apart]… you shared with other people, it was normal for everyone at that time.
“For Wimbledon, we had a car – imagine coming out of B&B, below the stairs and you have rolls Royce with the driver in which you are waiting for you with white gloves and opening the door.”
It could not be Wimbledon, but the queen was a prestigious event. Chris was in the fray with Aorta and Margaret Court Evon Golagong, who was harassed by a 24 -year -old Morozova in a straight set in the final without any service.
This was the most amazing result, but not for Morozova.
“I remember I played well,” she said. “I already felt the ball and I already knew Evon and knew how to play him, and the grass was my very favorite surface.”
Since the prize was not investigated on his pocket and there was no replica trophy to take away, the main advantage – the prestige was on one side – it was relieved to seed it for Wimbledon for the first time.
In the days before the computerized ranking system, the seeds – which ensure that the top players are not found very quickly in a tournament – were fixed by experts’ panels.
“I was getting eight seeds in Wimbledon, and everyone was saying ‘Oh, my god, why is he?” But finally I won the tournament and I was really feeling very good because now they know why I was given! ,
Morozova’s Sarv-And-Voli game was well suited for grass-she was Wimbledon Junior Champion in 1965 and won several titles on the surface.
She r But together, they won the women’s doubles title in Rolland Garos, making Morozova the first Russian to win a Grand Slam title.
