 BRAND NEW DRAMA

GOOLAGONG

Saturday 20th June

9pm and 9.50pm | BBC Four



Lila McGuire stars in the new drama Goolagong, which follows the story of legendary tennis player Evonne Goolagong.


In 1958, an eight-year-old girl peered through the wire fence of the tennis courts near her small-town home in New South Wales. She was instantly hooked. Evonne Goolagong would later win 14 Grand Slam titles, challenging racial barriers in the process.


But despite on-court success, a disturbing dynamic played out behind the scenes. It threatened to derail everything – until Goolagong found the strength to step out from that shadow, reclaim her identity and follow her passion on her own terms.


She challenged tennis orthodoxy and united a nation. This is the story of how Wiradjuri tennis champion, Evonne Goolagong’s love for the game carried her to international sporting glory, and made her one of Australia’s most celebrated sporting figures.
