Evonne Fay Goolagong Cawley, AO, MBE (born 31 July 1951 in Griffith, New South Wales, Australia) is a former World No. 1 Australian female tennis player. She was one of the world's leading players in the 1970s and early 1980s, when she won 14 Grand Slam titles: seven in singles (four Australian Open, two Wimbledon and one French Open), six in women's doubles, and one in mixed doubles.

EDITED FOR EVERT FANS: HERE is a REAL TREAT from the archives! As real Evert fans know, you could often be more proud of Chris for the way she lost than necessarily when she won, because she fought to the end with heart, determination, and dignity. Goolagong was a more fluid and unpredictable attacking player than Chris' later rival Navratilova, and fans didn't tend to vote for/against either player - they loved them both! Chris won their 1976 Wimbledon match to solidify her place at #1, but this match proceeded that as the big build-up (the Slims tour calendar ended in March). Goolagong won in 3 dramatic tough sets, and this event was a more important tournament than some of the grand slams back then. So it made Chrissie's win at Wimbledon all the sweeter. But these matches at Madison Square Garden & Los Angeles Coliseum are unrivaled for the excitement they always generated!

This is an archival film of the 1980 US Claycourts with footage of Andrea Jaeger, Evonne Goolagong, Joanne Russell, and of course Chrissie winning the event 6-4 6-3 over a young 15 year-old Jaeger. Of note is the press conference during which Chris reveals she had retirement from tennis in her sights just a couple of years down the line, which gives even more credence to the idea that the challenge from Navratilova kept her in the game far longer than she anticipated.
