Cancer takes another. Just 49 🙁

I will never forget that final, ahead and looking like she would take the title against the great Stefi Graf only to collapse with nerves

That's dreadful, never knew she was unwell. 😥

It had been kept very private apparently.

Not many people get to enter the public consciousness the way she did in that final. There was hardly a soul that didn’t want here to win it at some stage after the Graf final. She was excellent on the radio during Wimbledon in later years.
