Evonne Goolagong's Hidden Number One Ranking

About this episode

The episode reveals Evonne Goolagong's historic number one ranking, which was not recognized until 2007 due to issues with the WTA's ranking system.

Evonne Goolagongs historic number one ranking, earned in 1976 but not recognized until 2007, is revealed. The WTAs new rankings system and poor record-keeping led to this delayed acknowledgment. Goolagong, a seven-time Grand Slam champion, is now officially recognized as the first Australian and first Indigenous Australian to reach number one.
