Rosemary Casals - 90+ Titles/Only Dbl.s Team to Win on 4 Surfaces/Signed Card
Rosemary "Rosie" Casals (1948-) -  American former professional tennis  player.
Casals earned her reputation as a rebel in the tennis world when she began competing in the early 1960s. 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.
In 1966 she and Billie Jean King, her doubles partner, won the U.S. hard-court and indoor tournaments. That same year they reached the quarter-finals in the women's doubles at Wimbledon. In 1967 Casals and King took the doubles crown at Wimbledon and at the United States and South African championships. The two dominated women's doubles play for years, becoming one of the most successful duos in tennis history. (They are the only doubles team to have won U.S. titles on grass, clay, indoor, and hard surfaces). Casals was also a successful individual player, ranking third among U.S. women during this period.
Casals won 112 professional doubles tournaments, the second most in history behind Martina Navratilova. Casals was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1996.
