About Olga Morozova
Olga Vasilyevna Morozova is a Russian former professional tennis player. Competing for the Soviet Union, she was the runner-up in women's singles at the 1974 French Open and 1974 Wimbledon Championships, and the first Soviet player to win a major, in women's doubles at the 1974 French Open. Her ground-breaking playing career, combined with her distinguished coaching career, has led to Morozova being labelled the "Godmother of Russian tennis". Morozova started playing tennis at the age of 10, with Nina Teplyakova as her first and career-long coach. Travelling internationally for the first time and playing on grass for the first time, Morozova won the 1965 Wimbledon Junior Girls' singles title. Morozova would go on to become the first Soviet tennis player, male or female, to reach the singles final of any major tournament when she was the runner-up at the 1972 Italian Open. Morozova became the first Soviet tennis player, male or female, to win a major title when she teamed with Evert to win the women's doubles championship at the French Open in 1974.
