Talk:Maureen Connolly

Tragedy struck again?
There is a paragraph starting "Tragedy struck again" without the article having said what the first tragedy was. I guess it is her horse accident in 1955, when she was only 19, leading to her never being able to play tennis again. Gmackematix (talk) 02:29, 26 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I would certainly called her leg being crushed and not being able to play tennis a tragedy, so "tragedy struck again" sounds ok to me. Fyunck(click) (talk) 02:52, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

According to Nancy Brinker,head of the Susan B Kommen foundation, Little Mo had ovarian cancer,not stomach cancer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.173.124.178 (talk) 03:26, 17 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Unless you have a source for that, it's WP:OR. News articles at the time of Connolly's death specify no specific cancer. Just that she had a operation for removal of a stomach tumor. That might mean stomach cancer except we all know cancer metastasizes and that could have been the case with Connolly....William 15:56, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Lew Hoad
is shown in the mixed-doubles table with an American flag against his name. However, he was Australian. 78.147.225.71 (talk) 18:28, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Update to better compare with other greats
It would be useful if this entry also had the timelines for doubles and mixed doubles and a records section to better appreciate the short but impressive career and achievements of Connolly. Antipodenz (talk) 04:05, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
