Judith Dibar-Gohn (born 10 May 1945) is a Romanian former tennis player.[1] She was known as Judith Dibar before marriage.
Dibar-Gohn, Romania's leading player of the early 1970s, represented her country in five ties of the Federation Cup. She played a key role when Romania reached the semifinals in 1973, which was the team's first year in the tournament.[2] The semifinal against South Africa almost didn't take place due to Romania's anti-apartheid policy, with the players initially informed the tie would be boycotted. It wasn't until two-hours before the opening rubber that the players were informed the decision was reversed and that they were allowed to compete.[3]
At the Grand Slams, Dibar-Gohn's best performance was reaching the third round of the 1974 French Open. She made the second round at Wimbledon in 1973, losing to fourth-seeded Chris Evert.[4]
