    First Nations sporting greats

    Evonne Goolagong Cawley is a former No. 1 tennis player and is regarded as one of the greatest tennis players of all time. Goolagong Cawley won her first major singles title at the age of 19 at the 1971 French Open and went on to win a total of seven Grand Slam singles titles, including Wimbledon in 1971, 1980 and the Australian Open in 1974 and 1975.

    In addition to her success on the court, Goolagong Cawley is known for her grace, style and sportsmanship, and has been an inspiration to many First Nations Australians, including Ash Barty, AO, a proud Ngarigo woman, who recently retired whilst holding the world No. 1 ranking in women’s singles tennis.
