Summary

With contributions from Billie Jean King, Mary Carillo, Pam Shriver and Pat Cash, we tell Evonne Goolagong’s story, including her upbringing in New South Wales and the discrimination she faced, her early discovery of tennis, her poetic style of play, her Grand Slam successes throughout the 1970s, her crowning achievement by winning Wimbledon as a mother, her charity work for indigenous Australians, and her influence on Ash Barty.

The Tennis Podcast is presented by Catherine Whitaker and David Law, and features Matt Roberts. It is produced weekly year-round, and daily during the Grand Slam tournaments.

0:00.0	Hi, this is Billie Jean King. This is Mary and Bartordi. I'm Matt Svillander. This is Mary Carillo.
0:05.2	I'm Stan Ravinka. I'm Lainey Stewart. I'm Andy Murray. This is Yannick Noah and you're listening
0:09.9	to the tennis podcast.
0:22.1	Well hello folks and welcome along to another tennis podcast, another week of lockdown in the UK.
0:30.5	I hope you're enjoying yourselves if you're not in the UK and not in lockdown. Enjoy that because
0:34.4	it's rubbish here. Everything's all the same. Tennis players still trapped in hotel rooms
0:41.8	in Melbourne and Adelaide, although they're a little bit less trapped in Adelaide. The tone of
0:47.3	their social media posts has somewhat changed since you last heard from us. There's rather more
0:53.2	a vibe of we're ever so grateful to be here. Thank you so much Australia and Crate Tiley
0:59.6	into all the health authorities for allowing us to be here and keeping us safe. Thank you very,
1:03.4	very much. We've never, ever been ungrateful in our lives. That's the tone of what we're hearing.
1:09.6	And yeah, it's been, it's been a few days since there's been a diplomatic incident in the world of

1:25.1	episode of Australian Open Relived, when we'll be talking about Ivan Gula-Gon-Kooly, or Ivan
1:31.8	Gula-Gon, as she was known in the early stages of her career. David, a matter with me, we've had
1:38.0	snow this weekend. Sorry, Matt, you're the only place in the country that seemingly didn't have snow.
1:45.4	Sorry about that. I don't know what to say other than, as is typical in the UK when you get
1:50.9	one day of snow. The next day, the scene is quite depressing. There is a decapitated snowman
1:58.4	outside of my window and it's making me feel a bit sad. So as fun as yesterday was,
2:04.8	you can feel a bit smug today that there's not a big white sort of battleground type scene
2:12.0	outside of your window. I mean, if ever there was a time for snow, I feel like it is, it is yesterday.
2:17.5	When you can't travel anywhere, you don't need to travel anywhere, you can't be inconvenienced by it.
