Grand Slam Sports Legends of The Game
ACTIVE ROSTER LIST: |
Over the past 16 years, Mark Woodforde has been one of Australia’s most successful players in world tennis. In singles, he has won four ATP tour events in Auckland, Adelaide (twice) and the US Pro Championships in Philadelphia. He has had career wins over all of the world’s top players and in 1996 established himself as Australia’s top ranked singles player. Combining with Todd Woodbridge in doubles, Mark formed the most successful team in tennis’ history. "The Woodies" as they are affectionately known throughout the world, have become modern day legends in not only tennis but Australian sport in general. They hold the record for the most titles won in professional tennis, an achievement they secured in June 2000 by winning the French Open – the only Grand Slam title that had been missing from their impressive list of titles. In addition to Mark’s wins with Todd Woodbridge, Mark Woodforde captured mixed doubles Grand Slam titles with Nicole Provis, Larisa Neiland, and Martina Navratilova at all four Grand Slams. Mark Woodforde has been very supportive of his native Australia. He first represented Australia in the 1988 Davis Cup and participated at 24 ties, recording a total win/loss ratio of 21-15. Mark helped Australia reach the final three times and he and partner Woodbridge posted an epic victory in Nice (France) in 1999 assisting Australia’s claim to the Davis Cup title for the first time since 1986. He also represented Australia at the Olympic Games in Atlanta in 1996, where he and Woodbridge claimed the gold medal. The pair also earned a silver medal at the Sydney Olympics in 2000. Mark currently resides in Rancho Mirage, California and Adelaide, Australia with wife Erin and daughter Elyse. | |
