REUTERS: American Maureen Connolly's career lasted only four years in the early 1950s but it was enough time for"Little Mo" to make a big impression in the tennis world.
After splitting with her coach Eleanor Tennant to work with Australian Davis Cup captain Harry Hopman, she became the first woman to win all four majors in a single year - a feat only Margaret Court and Steffi Graf have matched.Despite dizzying success, Connolly was aware of the negative aspects of her tennis career.
Despite the best efforts of doctors, she did not fully recover and retired having won 12 major trophies, including two women's doubles crowns and a mixed doubles title.
