Put Maria Bueno right up there among the most graceful female players ever to step on a tennis court. Always attacking purposefully, she volleyed with uncommon assurance and was a cagey match player. When fully inspired, her entire game was sweepingly beautiful as she glided serenely through long afternoons. Her all-court skills carried her to seven major titles in singles, but in doubles her success was even greater as she won the Grand Slam with two different partners in 1960.
