Youngest player ever to play in Wightman Cup

In this edition of the Cup 13-year-old Jennifer Capriati played the second match against Clare Wood, notching up a double bagel - that is, a 6–0, 6–0 victory - over the Briton. She became the youngest player ever to play in the Wightman Cup's history, beating the previous record by two years.
