Shirley June Fry Irvin (born June 30, 1927) is a former world number-one-ranked American tennis player. She is one of 10 women (along with Maureen Connolly, Margaret Court, Steffi Graf, Doris Hart, Billie Jean King, Martina Navratilova, Chris Evert, Maria Sharapova, and Serena Williams) to have won each Grand Slam singles tournament at least once during her career. She is also one of six women (with Hart, Court, Navratilova, Serena Williams, and Venus Williams) to have won all four Grand Slam doubles tournaments. At the U.S. National Championship (precursor of the U.S. Open) in 1942, Irvin reached the singles quarterfinals at the age of 15. At Wimbledon in 1953, Irvin and Hart lost only four games during the entire women's doubles tournament and won three matches without losing a game, including the semifinals and finals, the latter over Connolly and Julie Sampson Haywood. Irvin won the last three Grand Slam singles tournaments she entered, including wins over Althea Gibson in the Wimbledon quarterfinal and U.S. Championship final in 1956 and the Australian Open final in 1957. Irvin was ranked in the world top ten in 1946 and 1948 and from 1950 through 1955 (no rankings issued from 1940 through 1945), and number one in 1956. The United States Lawn Tennis Association ranked her in the U.S. top ten from 1944 through 1955 and number one in 1956. She was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1970. ==Grand Slam record== *Australian Championships * *Singles champion: 1957 * *Women's Doubles champion: 1957 *French Championships * *Singles champion: 1951 * *Singles runner-up: 1948, 1952 * *Women's Doubles champion: 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953 * *Women's Doubles runner-up: 1948 * *Mixed Doubles runner-up: 1952 *Wimbledon * *Singles champion: 1956 * *Singles runner-up: 1951 * *Women's Doubles champion: 1951, 1952, 1953 * *Women's Doubles runner-up: 1950, 1954 * *Mixed Doubles champion: 1956 * *Mixed Doubles runner-up: 1953 *U.S. Championships * *Singles champion: 1956 * *Singles runner-up: 1951 * *Women's Doubles champion: 1951, 1952, 1953, 1954 * *Women's Doubles runner-up: 1949, 1950, 1955, 1956 * *Mixed Doubles runner-up: 1951, 1955 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shirley Fry Irvin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
