SINGLES CHAMPIONS

Rosie Casals (1973)Casals has the distinction of being the tournament’s first winner, and her winner’s check of $30,000 was the biggest single check won by any female professional tennis player in 1973. Her match against Nancy Richey in the final was the first women’s tennis match seen on the NBC network.

Chris Evert (1974-78, 1981, 1984 and 1985)In 1974, Evert made a spectacular debut beginning a string of victories that led to five consecutive singles titles (1974-1978), a record that still stands today. She then won another three titles in 1981, 1984 & 1985, bringing the count to eight. Evert has amassed numerous Cup records including most titles won, most matches won, most consecutive singles matches won, fewest games in a singles final and most consecutive sets won.

Tracy Austin (1979-80)Austin followed Evert with back-to-back titles in 1979 and 1980. When she won the coveted trophy in 1979, Austin became, and remains today, the youngest Family Circle Cup Champion at 16 years, 4 months.

Martina Navratilova (1982-83, 1988, 1990) Navratilova won the first of her four Family Circle Cup singles titles in 1982. That year, she became the second player to win both the singles and doubles title in the same year.

Steffi Graf (1986-87, 1989, 1993)In 1986, fans caught a glimpse into the future of Graf’s tennis career when she beat reigning Champion Chris Evert to win the singles title. It marked her first pro title in her career. Graf won the Cup again in 1987, 1989 and 1993.

Gabriela Sabatini (1991-92)This young Argentine followed Graf to earn the coveted Cup title. Sabatini, who made her professional debut at the Cup in 1985, won the crown in 1991 and then again in 1992.

Conchita Martinez (1994-95)Martinez won the singles Championship four years after her 1990 debut. The following year, she became one of only six players to win the title again as defending Champion. Martinez is also one of eight women who have won the Family Circle Cup more than once.

Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario (1996)At the 1996 Cup, Sanchez-Vicario became the third woman in the tournament’s history to win both the singles and doubles title. She holds the tournament record for most consecutive years seeded (14) and most consecutive years played (16).

Martina Hingis (1997, 1999)Nicknamed the “Swiss Miss”, Hingis won her first Cup title in 1997. On the first day of the tournament, she became the youngest No.1 ranked player at 16 years, 6 months, and 1 day. Her final against Monica Seles in 1997 was the first Championship to be decided by a third set tiebreak. Playing 31 games, the final match broke an existing record of most games in a singles final (27).

Amanda Coetzer (1998)Coetzer scored the biggest victory of her career when she captured the 1998 singles Championship. She battled through some tough matches, but with the victory, set a record as the lowest seeded winner in the tournament’s history. (No. 4 seed)

Mary Pierce (2000)Pierce captured her first Cup title over Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario, dropping only 11 games. Losing only one game in the finals, Pierce tied the record for the shortest singles final (56 minutes), which has since been replaced in 2010, fewest games played in a singles final (13), and fewest games lost in a tournament (12).

CHAMPIONS REVIEW

Jennifer Capriati (2001)At her first Cup final in 1990, Capriati found herself opposite legend Martina Navratilova, the oldest Cup finalist. Despite a loss, Capriati set numerous tournament records, including youngest finalist (14 years, 9 days). In 2001, Capriati captured the title over Martina Hingis in three-sets.

Iva Majoli (2002)For the first time on the WTA, a Tier I final was decided between two unseeded players. Majoli defeated Patty Schnyder, becoming the first unseeded player to win the Cup Singles Championship. Justine Henin (2003, 2005)Henin’s victory at the 2003 Cup over World No. 1 Serena Williams excited sports fans everywhere. After capturing the 2005 title over Dementieva, Henin became the fourth lowest-ranked Tier I winner, at No. 43. Venus Williams (2004) Defeating two-time Champion Conchita Martinez in the final, Williams became one of five women to win the Cup in a debut appearance.

Nadia Petrova (2006)Petrova defeated Patty Schnyder in a three-set battle claiming her first Tier I victory and the American clay court sweep. Jelena Jankovic (2007)Jankovic notched the third and most impressive WTA title of her career defeating Dinara Safina in two sets.

Serena Williams (2008, 2012, 2013)Williams defeated No. 9 seed Vera Zvonareva in a fierce final to claim the 35th Anniversary Family Circle Cup titles. Four years later, Williams returned to the Family Circle Cup to cruise to victory again in a short, 58-minute final def. Lucie Safarova 6-0, 6-1. Williams made a repeat performance in 2013 by defending her

title in Daniel Island by winning a tight three-set battle over Jelena Jankovic 3-6 6-0 6-2. Her title run in Charleston would be one of eleven championship trophies Williams raised in 2013.

Sabine Lisicki (2009)History was made as Sabine Lisicki notched the first WTA singles title of her career, defeating Caroline Wozniacki 6-2, 6-4. Lisicki, the No. 16 seed, joined Conchita Martinez in becoming the lowest seeded player to reach the finals, also setting a mark as the lowest seeded champion. Both Lisicki and Wozniacki reached the Cup final in their tournament debut.

Samantha Stosur (2010)Stosur set records as she stormed to her second WTA title, defeating Vera Zvonareva 6-0, 6-3 in the final in just 52 minutes. No. 4 seeded Stosur became the first Australian to win the singles title at the Cup.

Caroline Wozniacki (2011)Wozniacki's third trip to the Family Circle Cup was the luck she needed as she won this Premier title for the first time, surviving some tough early challenges, but easing past Elena Vesnina in the final, 6-2, 6-3.

Media Tennis Tournament

The popular Family Circle Cup Media Tennis Tournament is a long-standing tradition started by Bud Collins as the Venerable Chartreuse Gallagher Press Tournament, which ran for 25 years beginning in the early days of this event on Hilton Head Island. While the format and trophies have changed through the years, the event remains a great social outing for the working media who spend a week tirelessly covering this event.

A long-standing tradition continued as the Family Circle Cup held their annual Media Tennis Tournament on semi-final Saturday, a tradition that started some 42 years ago.
