'''Judy Tegart-Dalton''' {{post-nominals|country=AUS|AM}} (née '''Tegart'''; born 12 December 1937) is an Australian former professional [[tennis]] player. She won nine [[Grand Slam (tennis)#Tournaments|major]] doubles titles, and completed the [[Grand Slam (tennis)#Career Grand Slam|career Grand Slam]] in women's doubles. Five of her doubles titles were with [[Margaret Court]]. Tegart was also a runner-up in 10 major doubles tournaments.
==Career==
Tegart reached the final at [[The Championships, Wimbledon|Wimbledon]] in 1968, where she lost to [[Billie Jean King]] in two tight sets after defeating second-seeded Court in the quarterfinal and third-seeded [[Nancy Richey]] in the semifinal. She also reached the singles semifinals at Wimbledon in 1971 at the age of 33, losing to Court in three sets, and at the [[Australian Open|Australian Championships]] in 1968, losing to King in three sets. Her last appearance at a Grand Slam tournament was the [[1977 Australian Open (December)|1977 Australian Open]], where at the age of 40 she lost in the quarterfinals in straight sets to top-seeded and eventual champion [[Evonne Goolagong Cawley]].
Tegart won the singles, doubles and mixed doubles titles at the [[1969 German Open Championships]] in [[Hamburg]]. In the singles final, she defeated [[Helga Niessen]] in straight sets.<ref name=wot1970>{{cite book|publisher=Clipper P|isbn=0851080049|location=London|title=BP year book of World Tennis 1970|editor=John Barrett|editor-link=John Barrett (tennis)|date=1970 |oclc=502255545 |ol= 21635829M|pages=89–91 }}</ref>
Tegart was unusual in that she did not reach the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam singles tournament outside of Australia until she was 29 years of age. From Wimbledon in 1967 until the end of her career, she reached at least the quarterfinals in half of the Grand Slam singles tournaments she played (10 out of 20).
Tegart was a member of the Australian [[Fed Cup|Federation Cup]] team in 1965, 1966, 1967, 1969, and 1970. Her career won-loss record was 18–4, including 6–1 in singles and 12–3 in doubles. Australia won the Federation Cup in 1965 and 1970.
Tegart was one of the original "Virginia Slims 9", the nine players who in 1971 joined the break-away [[Virginia Slims Circuit|Virginia Slims tour]] organised by [[Gladys Heldman]]. She married Dr. David Dalton on 18 November 1969.<ref>{{Cite book|title = Historical Dictionary of Tennis|url = https://archive.org/details/historicaldictio00gras|url-access = limited|last = Grasso|first = John|publisher = Scarecrow Press, Inc.|year = 2011|isbn = 978-0-8108-7237-0|pages = [https://archive.org/details/historicaldictio00gras/page/n303 279]}}</ref>
She was made a [[Member of the Order of Australia]] (AM) in the [[2019 Australia Day Honours]] for "significant service to tennis as a player, to equality for women in sport, and to sporting foundations".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://honours.pmc.gov.au/honours/awards/2003462|title=Judith Anne Dalton|website=honours.pmc.gov.au|access-date=26 January 2019}}</ref>
