Indigenous Tennis Come & Try Day A message from Evonne Goolagong Cawley (Chairperson, Evonne Goolagong Foundation) Hello everyone, Welcome to our Indigenous Tennis Come and Try Days which are run by the Evonne Goolagong Foundation and supported by the Australian Government. The Dream, Believe, Learn, Achieve initiative promotes and helps provide better health and education for young Indigenous Australians. Our program invites Indigenous girls and boys aged five – 15 years to have fun and give tennis a real go. Our coaches are looking for kids who display enthusiasm, determination and a willingness to improve themselves given half a chance. Athletic ability is also taken into consideration but is not the determinant factor. So send your kids out onto the courts to have fun and to try their best. Some youngsters from each Indigenous Tennis Come and Try day may be selected to receive equipment and further coaching. With agreement from their parent / guardian, these boys and girls will be encouraged and expected to attend their school and their tennis sessions. This will give them the opportunity to be selected to attend a Goolagong State Development Camp. Participants at the State Camp level may also be chosen to attend the Goolagong National Development Camp held in Melbourne each January during the first week of the Australian Open. Since 2005, the Evonne Goolagong Foundation has awarded school scholarships, produced tennis coaches, sports administrators, university scholars and has helped with employment placement. Keep smiling, Evonne Goolagong Cawley Chairperson, Evonne Goolagong Foundation www.evonnegoolagongfoundation.org.au.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: MARIA BUENO WINS HER THIRD WIMBLEDON Thursday 29 May 2014 by Leigh Walsh
THROWBACK THURSDAY: MARIA BUENO WINS HER THIRD WIMBLEDON Thursday 29 May 2014 By Leigh Walsh By Leigh Walsh Our Throwback Thursday series continues as Maria Bueno wins her third and final Wimbledon title , the only South American woman to win The Championships. Wimbledon.com goes back in time... “If you like graceful women and good tennis, you can watch Maria Bueno all day,” wrote Sports Illustrated’s Herbert Warren Wind in 1960. The Brazilian youngster, at 20, had just won back-to-back singles titles at Wimbledon and her talent was sending a wave of interest across the sporting world. Like Suzanne Lenglen before her and Evonne Goolagong Cawley after her, Bueno’s ability to wield a racket like a magician would a wand separated her from her peers. The right-hander was born to a tennis-loving couple who thrust a racket into their daughter’s hands at a young age. Along with her parents and brother Pedro, the Buenos spent much of their time hitting tennis balls back and forth at Clube de Regatas Tiete in Sâo Paulo on the doorstep of their family home. It was some 6,000 miles away, however, on the lawns of the All England Club where Bueno made a lasting mark on the game. And by the time the “Sao Paulo Swallow” arrived in South West London in 1964 bidding for a hat- trick of Wimbledon titles, she was a household name with her all-court game, fluid movement and elegant strokes endearing her to fans. The top four seeds all advanced to the semi-final stage that year.

Goolagong Cawley Hails Ash Barty's Wimbledon
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ‘She made me proud’: Goolagong Cawley hails Ash Barty’s Wimbledon win ‘This is her time,’ tennis legend says of ‘little sister’ Australian Associated Press Sun 11 Jul 2021 Tennis legend and Wiradjuri woman Evonne Goolagong Cawley has paid a heartfelt tribute to “little sister” Ash Barty, saying she just sensed it was “her time” to win Wimbledon during Naidoc week. Barty’s nerve-wracking 6-3, 6-7 (4-7), 6-3 final victory over Czech Karolina Pliskova overnight came 10 years after she won the Wimbledon girls’ singles title at age 15 and exactly 50 years after Goolagong Cawley hoisted the Venus Rosewater Dish for the first time. Video released on Sunday shows the moment Barty’s family erupted with joy in their living room on the Gold Coast when their daughter and sister converted match point. In a poignant gesture to her Indigenous idol and mentor, Barty wore a Fila dress inspired by Goolagong’s 1971 Wimbledon outfit, designed by Ted Tinling who revolutionised tennis fashion, throughout her triumphant campaign. “I hope I made Evonne proud,” Barty said during an emotional victory speech. Goolagong Cawley left her in no doubt. “Oh she certainly did,” the former world No 1 said from her home on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast on Sunday. “She made me proud from the first time I saw Ash. She must have been about 13. “She was playing at the Australian Open and [my husband] Roger and I stayed and watched for a bit and we saw one whole point where she showed all the skills.

Dermott Brereton
Evonne Goolagong Cawley MBE, AO is an Australian sporting icon. Evonne has inspired generations and continues to do so. One of Australia's all time sporting greats, she has been Australian Sportsman of the Year and Australian of the Year. In 1988, she was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame at Newport Rhode Island and the following year, was inducted into the Aboriginal Sporting Hall of Fame. At Barcelona in 1992, Evonne was one of five Australian sporting legends selected as the first ever international Olympic torch-bearers. Later at Monte Carlo, was one of the team involved in the successful Sydney 2000 bid and was a member of the National Indigenous Advisory Committee to SOCOG. In Evonne’s long and glorious tennis career she won 92 professional tournaments including 7 Grand Slam titles including Wimbledon in 1971 & 1980, The Australian Open 1974-1977 inclusive and the French Open in 1971. She represented Australia in the Federation Cup and although she never won the U.S Open she was runner up four years in succession. At her second Wimbledon triumph in 1980, she became the first mother to hold that title since Dorothy Lambert Chambers in 1914. In December 2007, the WTA realised that the rankings for 1976 were miscalculated and Evonne actually held the top ranking position in Women’s Tennis from April 26, 1976 through to May 9, 1976. In recent years, Evonne has become increasingly involved in Aboriginal issues and a rediscovery of her own extended Wiradjuri clan family prompting the Cawley’s to leave their American base in Florida and return to Australia to live.

Information from Bob Meyenn
MS EVONNE FAY GOOLAGONG-CAWLEY Citation for the Conferral of a Doctor of the University (honoris causa) The name Evonne Goolagong-Cawley is well known in the history of Australian sport and the sport of tennis throughout the world. At the end of the 1960s this young athlete emerged from the small township of Barellan, New South Wales to become one of the great tennis players of the modern era. Evonne was the first female Aboriginal Australian to achieve prominence in international sport. In her long and glorious tennis career she won well over a million dollars, ninety professional tournaments and was a finalist in eighteen Grand Slam events. A five-time Wimbledon finalist, Evonne faced and defeated some of the greatest tennis players in history such as Margaret Court, Billie Jean King and Chris Evert. She won Wimbledon twice, the Australian Open four times and the French Open once. Although she never won the US Open, she was runner up four years in succession. Evonne was the third of eight children born to Kenneth and Linda Goolagong. As a young child she spent whole days playing with tennis balls, and even at the tender age of five earned pocket money by retrieving balls at the local tennis club. She received her first racquet at the age of six and quickly began devoting every spare hour to the sport. Evonne learned basic tennis skills from members of Barellan’s War Memorial Tennis Club. When she was ten years old, she began working with Vic Edwards, perhaps Australia’s best- known tennis coach at that time.

PROYECTO DE DECLARACION El
“2019 Año de la Exportación” (S-1722/19) PROYECTO DE DECLARACION El Senado de la Nación DECLARA Su beneplácito por el reconocimiento a la deportista argentina Gabriela (Gaby) Sabatini, quien fue honrada con el Premio Philippe Chatrier que anualmente confiere la Federación Internacional de Tenis. Carlos A. Reutemann FUNDAMENTOS Señora Presidente: Gabriela Sabatini, la máxima tenista argentina de la historia, recibió en París, en el marco de uno de sus torneos predilectos, el de Roland Garros, donde fue en 1984 campeona junior con apenas 14 años de edad, el máximo honor que confiere la Federación Internacional de Tenis (ITF), el Premio Philippe Chatrier. Dicho galardón es otorgado desde 1996 a individuos y organizaciones por su significativa contribución al tenis dentro y fuera de la cancha. Sabatini se retiró del deporte profesional precisamente en ese año de 1996, tras una larga trayectoria en la que obtuvo 27 títulos en singles y 14 en dobles, entre ellos el título del US Open 1990 en individuales y el de dobles de Wimbledon 1988, en este caso junto a la alemana Steffi Graf. Sabatini es integrante del Salón de la Fama del Tenis desde 2006, llegó a ser número 3 del mundo y fue ganadora de la medalla plateada en los Juegos Olímpicos de Seúl 1988. Con tantos logros deportivos, habría que significar que, no obstante, lo mejor de su experiencia personal ha sido la hidalguía, sobriedad y bonhomía con la que se manejó en el competitivo mundo del tenis, dentro y fuera de las canchas. Siendo así, no habría de extrañar que, una vez retirada de las competencias, le dedicó y sigue dedicando buena parte de su tiempo a promover los valores del tenis y a ayudar a niños de todo el mundo, trabajando con UNICEF, la UNESCO y las Olimpiadas Especiales.

The Evonne Goolagong Story by Andrea James Extract
Sunshine Super Girl: The Evonne Goolagong Story By Andrea James Extract. Prologue - Centre Court Fishing DARKNESS. WE HEAR THE SOUND OF A TENNIS MATCH AND COMMENTARY. IT’S THE CLOSING STAGES OF A TIE-BREAKER BETWEEN EVONNE CAWLEY AND CHRIS EVERT-LLOYD. WE HEAR THE “TOCK” “TOCK” “TOCK” OF THE TENNIS BALL AND CLASSIC 1980’S TV TENNIS COMMENTARY. LIGHTS VERY VERY SLOWLY ILLUMINATE A BRILLIANT TENNIS COURT. LUMINESCENT GREEN. A HOLY GRAIL. THE SOUNDS OF THE TENNIS GAME AND COMMENTARY BECOME LOUDER AND LOUDER. THE AUDIENCE CHEERS. EVONNE GOOLAGONG CAWLEY ENTERS WITH A SUITCASE AND WICKER FISHING BASKET. RETURNING TO COUNTRY; SHE LOOKS AROUND, PUTS DOWN THE SUITCASE, ASCENDS THE UMPIRE’S CHAIR AND THROWS A HANDLINE INTO THE COURT. SILENCE This is a good spot here. This is mum’s spot. That current there? Swirling around and around? That’s the backwater. Leaves and twigs and bugs. That’s what the fish are after and that’s what I’m after. The fish. My dad told me about the magic of fishing at the backwater. He used to say, “See that big hole down there? Plenty of fish. Big ones. That’s where you go to catch a fish.” But to tell you the truth, if I don’t catch a fish, that’s okay too… No-one knows I’m here. Not even family. I’m not ready to go into town. Just yet. Yesterday I fished around the corner. A bit closer to the bend and I caught three fish! One yellow belly, one red fin, and one cod.
