American tennis icon Pam Shriver was devastated after becoming the victim of a robbery amid the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles. The former World No. 3 also lost the majority of her trophies in the unfortunate incident.
Shriver, who was born in Baltimore and resides in Los Angeles, revealed in an X post on January 16 that her car was stolen from the parking lot of a hotel they were staying in. She added that her family had evacuated to the hotel due to the wildfires and most of her trophies were in the stolen car.
"My son & I are at a police station reporting our car was stolen from the hotel parking lot we evacuated to when fires started. This was the car that had most of my major trophies being stored until we could safely move back home," Pam Shriver wrote.
Shriver won an impressive 21 singles and 112 doubles titles in her career. While she couldn't win any Grand Slam singles titles, the 62-year-old amassed a staggering 21 in the doubles and an Olympic gold medal at the 1988 Games as well.
She married actor George Lazenby in 2002, and after giving birth to three children, the couple got divorced in 2011. After the wildfires started last week, Shriver prayed for the safety of the city and her 23-year-old house and revealed that she and her children were safe while Lazenby was evacuated from the Pacific Palisades.
"Praying for our many friends who have lost their houses & hoping winds calm soon. I am grateful I was planning on being @MaunaLaniHI for a vacation with my kids. Grateful @LazenbyReal was evacuated from Pacific Palisades & is safe. Praying for my house of 23 years," she wrote.
Since retiring as one of the decorated doubles players, Shriver has been working as a tennis analyst for ESPN and is part of the coaching team of Dona Vekic, who is currently competing in the Australian Open.
"Watched match point by point" - Pam Shriver cheered for Donna Vekic at the Australian Open despite facing numerous challenges
Following Donna Vekic's dominant win in the second round at the 2025 Australian Open, Pam Shriver revealed she had followed the match point by point despite facing numerous challenges to watch the Croatian tennis player down Harriet Dart 4-6, 6-0, 6-2.
"'Watched' match point by point on AO app but could not figure out how to find it streamed in US. You don’t sweat the small stuff in LA atm," she wrote.
The 62-year-old had to sleep with three rescue cats, and at 4:50 am following the match.
"I have never slept in same room as three rescue cats, but these are unusual times in LA. I am starting at 4:45am because long played with Donna’s match. Starting at 4:50 am how much sleep can I get?"
The 21-time Grand Slam doubles champion joined Vekic's coaching team in 2022 and has led her to the Monterrey Open title and a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
