Daphne Akhurst: The Name immortalised on the Australian Open Women's Singles Trophy. Margaret Court has held it aloft 11 times. Serena Williams has had her hands on it seven times, but there's one name sitting above all others on the Australian Open women's singles trophy.
Daphne Akhurst was one of the world's best female tennis players of the late 1920s. That era may be long forgotten, with its matches largely preserved only in record books…but, since 1934, Akhurst has been immortalised on the trophy that bears her name.
