Tennis Career Highlights
Maria Bueno, Brazil Born : 1939 in Sao Paulo. Bueno was a graceful serve-volleyer. Her attacking play and fashion conscious appearance made her the crowd`s favourite. Her slight build meant that she was often at a disadvantage against power players like Margaret Court but her all court game and range of grounstrokes made her competitive.
