Pam Shriver Loses Trophies in Wildfire Evacuation

Pam Shriver, a former tennis player and 21-time Grand Slam doubles champion, revealed that her car, containing several of her prestigious tennis trophies, was stolen after evacuating due to the Los Angeles wildfires. The trophies lost included five US Open trophies, five French Open plates, five Wimbledon trophies, and one Australian Open trophy. Shriver had evacuated to a hotel in Marina del Rey with her son, during which the car was stolen from the hotel parking lot. She expressed her dismay at the theft occurring amid such difficult times, as the wildfires have already claimed over 24 lives and destroyed thousands of buildings. Though Shriver's home was spared, it remains without utilities, prompting her to stay at the hotel. This incident has also impacted her plans to cover the Australian Open, where she coaches Croatian player Donna Vekic, who expressed support for Shriver during the tournament.
