Olga Vasilyevna Morozova(Russian:Ольга Васильевна Морозова,IPA:[ˈolʲɡəmɐˈrozəvə] ;born 22 February 1949) is a retired tennis player who competed for theSoviet Union.She was the runner-up in singles at the1974 French Openand1974 Wimbledon Championshipsand the first Soviet player to win a Grand Slam event. Her ground-breaking playing career combined with her distinguished coaching career has meant Morozova is often labelled the "Godmother of Russian tennis".
Career
[edit]Born in Moscow to parents fromRyazan,Morozova started playing tennis at the age of 10 and has never considered herself aMuscovite.She never attended kindergarten, unlike most Soviet children, because she truly disliked it after the first two days. Her grandmother was able to take care of her instead. She started playing tennis at the age of 10, withNina Teplyakovaas her first and career-long coach. By 16, Morozova had improved so quickly that she was invited to represent the USSR at Wimbledon in the girls singles.[2]
Travelling internationally for the first time and playing on grass for the first time, Morozova won the 1965 Wimbledon Junior Girls' singles title. She also credited the help of her parents for the success:
"If the parents wish for the child to build a strong relationship with the coach – and this is of the utmost importance – they need to have complete trust in the coach. The greatest assistance from grandparents and parents is in providing young athletes with healthy food. Caviar may be excellent, but porridge, fresh potatoes, vegetables, and meat are more beneficial. As muchFantaandPepsi Colashould be avoided as possible. After a rigorous training session, the child should not be given ice cream, but a nutritious tomato, not Fanta butrosehipjuice. Instead of sugary breakfasts, it would be better to providecottage cheesewith honey, and sandwiches should be made with a limited amount of butter. Sausage sandwiches are undesirable. If a sandwich is to be eaten, it should be made from boiled meat. It is important to note that, in addition to spending muscle energy, the child's entire body is put under additional stress during training, and it is essential to assist them in maintaining proper functioning. A three-course meal immediately following training is not recommended... After training, you will only need to eat one apple and then you can head home for lunch. "[2]
Morozova was the first Soviet tennis player, male or female, to reach the singles final of any major tournament when she was the runner-up at the 1972Italian Open.However, the peak of Morozova's career came during the summer of 1974 when she was the women's singles runner-up at bothWimbledonand theFrench Open,losing toChris Everton both occasions. At Wimbledon she shocked the defending championBillie Jean Kingin straight sets in the quarters, and then came back from a set down againstVirginia Wadeto win the semi-final 6–4 in the third. She rose to No. 3 in the world going into theUS Openthat year – the highest ranking she achieved in her career.
Morozova became the first Soviet tennis player, male or female, to win aGrand Slamtitle when she teamed with Evert to win the women's doubles championship at the French Open in 1974. She was the first Soviet player to lead her team to the Federation Cup semifinals in 1978 (and again in 1979). She andAlex Metreveliwere the first USSR players to reach a Grand Slam final when they teamed at Wimbledon in 1968, losing toMargaret CourtandKen Fletcher.[2]In addition to winning the French Open doubles in 1974, Morozova was the runner-up at the 1975 Australian Open (teaming with Margaret Court), the 1975 French Open (teaming with Julie Anthony) and the1976 US Open(teaming with Virginia Wade).
Morozova's playing career was cut short in 1977 because of the USSR's policy against allowing their athletes to compete with South Africans. At this point, she retired early from the professional tour. Morozova then began a coaching career. She became head coach of the Soviet Union ladies squad through the 1980s leading the Soviets to their first appearance in aFederation CupFinal (1988, losing to Czechoslovakia). Morozova also helped pioneer the creation of theKremlin Cup.
In 1990, theLTAhired Morozova as head of girls tennis, based at the national performance centre in Bisham Abbey, UK. Morozova became a fixture in UK tennis for much of the 1990s. In December 1996, in a Russian interview, she noted a key difference in the approach to sport between the UK and Russia: "For them [the English], participation is considered more important than winning. They fancyCoubertina lot. For us, Russians, it is still important to win ".[3]
In 2003, Morozova began working individually with notable players, includingElena Dementieva,Svetlana Kuznetsova,Sergiy StakhovskyandLaura Robson.Morozova has been widely credited as one of the few female coaches to work at the very highest levels of the tour.[4][5]
In 1998, she was awarded theSarah Palfrey Danzig Trophyfor character, sportsmanship, manners, spirit of cooperation, and contribution to the growth of the game as well as the help she rendered to professional players and junior players.[6]
In 2000, theRussian Tennis Federationawarded Morozova the honour of Russian Tennis Player of the Twentieth Century.[7]Her daughter Katia Roubanova represented theUnited Kingdomwhere she could reach a 41st place injuniors in 1996while suffering from a career-ending injury since 16.[8][9]In April 2012, Olga Morozova became a grandmother.[10]Her daughter's father is Viktor Roubanov (1971 champion of Moscow in singles), and he also was one of the first coaches ofAnna Kournikova.He also coachedShirli-Ann Siddallduring her first breakthrough — winning a match in the Wimbledon main draw — period.[11][12][13]
In her 2000 autobiographyOnly Tennis,Morozova described the women's game of tennis as the following:
What used to be called lawn tennis has now become a sport. In the past, tennis players who had good physical attributes immediately became stars and could make it into the top twenty with little effort and technical refinement. Nowadays, physical qualities are only one component of success. Tennis is evolving like American basketball, where athletes must first be tall, then fast, and now tall and fast with good coordination. Some people might argue thatMartina Hingisis a slow player, but this is not entirely true. She has good speed, although not as fast asWilliams,but also not slow. Her ball sense and anticipation are far superior to those of Williams. Kournikova may not have Hingis' anticipation, nor Williams' strength, but she is just as fast. There is nobody else who can match Anya's acceleration and powerful shots. That is, each player has their own unique role in the tennis world: Anechka is like a lightning bolt, Williams is a powerfulfallow deer,and Hingis is the most perfect cat. And there's a smart fox —Jana Novotna— walking around them, waiting for her chance to grab the ball and make a great shot.[2]

What is considered a [rare] phenomenon for the whole world seems a common thing for the country.
