Lorna Cornell (born 3 January 1933) is a British former tennis player.
Cornell is the daughter of athlete Muriel Gunn-Cornell, who was a world record holder for long jump.[1]
Active in the 1950s and 1960s, Cornell won the Wimbledon junior singles title twice and made regular appearances at the tournaments for two decades.[2]
Cornell married Australian tennis coach Peter Cawthorn in 1953 but towards the end of her career had remarried and was competing as Lorna Greville-Collins.[2]
Other than tennis, Cornell also excelled in long jump as a junior and was named on the list of "possibles" to represent Great Britain at the 1948 Summer Olympics.[3]
