In addition, Wynne won there for ten doubles and four mixed trophy. At Wimbledon, she reached the quarterfinals in 1947.

During World War II fell in 1942, her husband, Sergeant George Bolton, at the service of the Royal Australian Air Force during an air raid on Cologne, so they had to raise their then four- month-old daughter Pam alone from this point on.

In 2006, she was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame. She died in 2001 at the age of 85 years in Melbourne.
