Kathleen Godfree and Leslie Godfree happens to be the only married couple to win the mixed doubles Wimbledon championship.

In addition, Kathleen won 7 All-England Badminton titles, two Wimbledon singles and mixed doubles titles, 3 US championship titles, 5 Olympic medals in Tennis, won 111 out of 146 Wimbledon matches with her right-hand, which was not her natural hand. During those times, right-hand was considered to offer advantage while playing sports, and hence, she decided to play with her right-hand. What would have happened, if she had played with her natural hand?

Even on the personal front, she and her husband, Leslie Godfree, won their mixed doubles title in tennis at Wimbledon in 1926. The couple were happily married for 45 years before the demise of Mr. Leslie Godfree in 1971. Kathleen went on to live for 96 years until her death in 1992.
