Tennis Olympic Games Past Winners - women

Women's tennis at the Olympic Games has had a strange history, at first there were two bronze medalists because there was no 3rd place play off, but this was stopped after a few years, it was later re-adopted. Also at two Olympics there was no women's tennis but there was men's. Between 1928 and 1984 tennis at the olympic games was stopped, except for a few exhibitions and demonstrations in 1968 and 1984. Here is the table of past winners at the Olympic Games women.
