Goolagong gets her due, at last!
SUNRISE BEACH (Australia): Evonne Goolagong has a new addition to her trophy case, more than 30 years late.
Goolagong has been told by WTA Tour officials that she should have been ranked No. 1 for a two-week period in 1976 in the middle of winning six tournaments, including the Australian Open.
But when some tournament records were transferred to a computer in 1976, all of Goolagong’s points were not entered and she was never given the top ranking, the WTA has said.
The WTA has now amended its records, and Goolagong becomes the 16th No. 1 since the introduction of tour computer rankings in 1975. Two weeks ago, Goolagong, 56, received a trophy from the WTA. “I’m very proud of the achievement,” Goolagong said. “I was on a roll for that stretch in 1976. It was a great surprise.” — AP
