Fed Cup doubles record for Australia
Born in Sydney on 26 March 1971, Stubbs turned professional in 1992 and reached No. 64 in singles in 1996. Her career was made in doubles. With Lisa Raymond she won the 2000 Australian Open and, in 2001, Wimbledon and the US Open, and she became world No. 1 on 21 August 2000. She added the 2004 Wimbledon title with Cara Black and won two major mixed titles, the 2000 Australian Open with Jared Palmer and the 2001 US Open with Todd Woodbridge. She won 60 tour titles, played four Olympic Games from 1996 to 2008 and represented Australia in the Fed Cup for 17 years. After her last tour match, at the 2011 US Open, she became a broadcaster for Seven, ESPN and NBC and a coach to KarolÃna PlÃÅ¡ková, Samantha Stosur and Serena Williams.

Wimbledon 2001
It was the fifth Wimbledon together for Stubbs and Raymond, whose best results there had been semi-finals in 1998 and 2000. As top seeds they won all six matches in straight sets, beating Kim Clijsters and the world's top-ranked doubles player, Ai Sugiyama, 6-4, 6-3 in the final. It was their fifth title of the year.

Todd Woodbridge, she recalled, would not play mixed doubles with her until she beat him in the Australian Open final, which she did with Jared Palmer in 2000. The two Australians then paired up and won the US Open mixed in 2001, which she called "pretty special".

Stubbs and Cara Black beat the fifth seeds, Liezel Huber and Ai Sugiyama, 6-3, 7-6 for Stubbs's second Wimbledon title. For Black the day was only beginning: she went on to win a mixed semi-final and then the mixed final with her brother Wayne on Centre Court.

After a 2009 without a title, Stubbs had set herself a rule: "I said the year I don't win a tournament is the year I quit." In 2010 she and Raymond won Eastbourne again, their fourth title there, which, she said, "made it 60 tour titles for me and 70 titles for her."

Stubbs played Fed Cup for Australia for 17 years and won 28 of 37 doubles rubbers, second in the team's history to Wendy Turnbull. She described her role without ceremony: "I was orange girl, or hitting partner, or showed up to stand in the corner and do whatever was asked."

Having coached Serena Williams at the 2022 US Open, Stubbs was in her team again, with Jarmere Jenkins, when Williams returned to Wimbledon. Williams lost 6-3, 6-7, 6-3 to Maya Joint under a closed Centre Court roof. "Her ball wasn't shooting through the court like it was outside," Stubbs said.
