Former doubles No.1 Pam Shriver was recently presented with a bracelet from Chris Evert's collection as she received the WTA Georgina Clark Mother Award.
According to the WTA’s website, the Georgina Clark Mother Award is given to recognize women who have made a significant contribution to the culture and emotional life of the WTA family, worked to improve the sport for all, and gone above and beyond to help those less fortunate.
On Sunday, the WTA made a post on X (formerly Twitter) congratulating Pam Shriver. Alongside receiving the award, Pam Shriver was presented with a Monica Rich Kosann bracelet from Chris Evert's collection, which she wore in the picture uploaded.
Georgina Clark, in whose honor the award is given, was a mother of five who served the WTA in various capacities. She held roles ranging from Vice President for European Operations and Worldwide Tour Director from 1981 to 2005 to even serving as the umpire for the 1984 Wimbledon final between Evert and Martina Navratilova.
Since its inception in 2010, notable recipients of the award include Chris Evert, Judy Murray, Ann Haydon-Jones, Judy Tegart-Dalton, Mary Carillo, and others.
