Women's Tennis: 5 players with the most Australian Open titles

# Evonne Goolagong Cawley - 4 titles

Evonne Goolagong Cawley - the only woman to win Wimbledon post childbirth in the Open Era

Since we are talking about the most successful Australian Open winners, it is only apt that an Australian athlete makes the list. One of only 3 women to have won the Australian Open after giving birth to a child (the other being Margaret Court and Kim Clijsters), Evonne Goolagong was the dominant force of Women's tennis in the 1970's - in the pre-Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova Era.

Popularly known as 'Gong', Evonne won 7 Grand Slam Singles titles including the Australian Open on 4 different occasions in 1974, 1975, 1976 and 1977. Her 1977 triumph came just 7 months after giving birth to her first child.

Goolagong won a total of 68 WTA Singles titles (6th on all-time list). Apart from Singles, Goolagong also won the Australian Open Doubles title 5 times (1971, 1974, 1975, 1976 and 1977).
