1980 Wimbledon Championships – Women's singles

Evonne Goolagong Cawley defeated Chris Evert Lloyd in the final, 6–1, 7–6^(7–4) to win the ladies' singles tennis title at the 1980 Wimbledon Championships.^[1] It was her seventh and last major singles title, and Goolagong Cawley became the first (and still only) mother to win the Wimbledon singles title since World War I. The second-set tiebreak was the first played in the ladies singles final at Wimbledon, and the match was the first singles final (men's or women's) to end on a tiebreak. Goolagong Cawley was the first and only champion (man or woman) to defeat four top ten ranked players en route to victory.^[2]
