Margaret Court has held at aloft 11 times.
Serena Williams has had her hands on it seven times.
But there's one name sitting above all others on the Australian Open Women's Singles Trophy.
Daphne Akhurst was one of the world's best female tennis players of the late 1920s.
That era may be long forgotten - with its matches largely preserved only in record books - but since 1934, Akhurst has been immortalized on the trophy that bears her name.
In a storied, but tragically short career, Daphne Akhurst won the Australasian Championships five times.
She also won nine doubles titles at the tournament.
Akhurst only made a couple of trips overseas, but was a semi-finalist at Wimbledon in 1928.
However, rather than starring on a tennis court, she could easily have been one of the era's leading pianists.
After leaving the Normanhurst boarding school in Sydney - where Mary Poppins author PL Travers was also a pupil - Akhurst studied at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, where she furthered her skills on the ivories.
