Wendy Turnbull, MBE, (born 26 November 1952 in Brisbane, Australia) is a retired Australian female professional tennis player who was nicknamed "Rabbit" by her peers because of her footspeed around the court. She was ranked in the year-end world top 20 for ten consecutive years (1977 through 1986) and in the year-end world top 10 for eight consecutive years (1977 through 1984). Her highest singles ranking was World No. 3 in January 1985.

Career

Turnbull teamed with Elizabeth Smylie to win the bronze medal in women's doubles at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul.

Turnbull won 13 singles titles, 55 women's doubles titles, and 5 mixed doubles titles during her career.

Turnbull won four women's doubles titles and five mixed doubles titles at Grand Slam events. She was a 15-time runner-up in Grand Slam events: three times in singles, eleven times in women's doubles, and one time in mixed doubles. Nine of her eleven women's doubles losses were to teams that included Martina Navratilova.

Turnbull was a member of Australia's Fed Cup team from 1977 through 1988, compiling a 46-16 overall win-loss record (17-8 in singles and 29-8 in doubles). She was the captain or coach of the team from 1985 through 1993.
