3. Amanda Tobin-Evans
The little-known Australian played through the 1980’s and peaked at No. 138. She didn’t leave Australia for most of the career, and played almost exclusively Australian tournaments. Her best result was a Round 16 at Australian Open, but during those times it wasn’t unusual for Australian Open to be skipped by many of the top players. Tobin-Evans’ biggest win came in May 1985 over Evonne Goolagong Cawley. Goolagong won 7 grand slam titles and became the second ever World No. 1, replacing Chris Evert. Goolagong ended her career at the Australian Indoor at the age of 34, with a first round 3-6 2-6 loss to Tobin-Evans, who was 25 at the time.
