Does anyone know anything about her? A cousin has told me, I'm related to her. All he knows is she played tennis for South Africa in the 1970s.

I have found this - a 0-3 record - https://www.itftennis.com/en/players/elizabeth-gordon/800177729/rsa/wt/s/overview/

She won a clay tournament (German Open) with a Beverley Mould in 1982. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beverly_Mould

Qualified at Wimbledon in 1981 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1981_Wimbledon_Championships_%E2%80%93_Women%27s_S ingles_Qualifying

She lost at Wimbledon but played second round and not first - not sure how they did the draw then. Some familiar names in the draw. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1981_Wimbledon_Championships_%E2%80%93_Women%27s_S ingles

Many thanks for this.

I've now received an email from Elizabeth, after I found out that her two sons play cricket for Ireland and I contacted cricket Ireland.
