From the start of tennis’s Open Era— the 1968 French Open—through the end of the 1970s, the overwhelming majority of women’s singles Grand Slam titles were won by players with Scrabble-eligible last names: KING, WADE, COURT, and EVERT, primarily, as well as one each for JONES, BARKER, and JORDAN. Since 1980, however, only three women with playable last names have won. The most recent is LI NA, whose given name and family name are both among the 107 two-letter words in the NASPA Word List. The other two are an American and a player representing France, who collectively won five Grand Slams between 1995 and 2000. Name either. (Note: Both SELES and WILLIAMS are playable in international Scrabble, the word list for which derives from a different dictionary source than the NWL, but neither is allowable in North America.)
