Evonne Goolagong in 1980. Evonne won her first Wimbledon Ladies' Singles fifty years and a week ago on July 3 1971. Timing is everything. Margaret Smith/Court won in 1963 and 1965.

Also, the kit Ash is wearing is in tribute to Evonne. Designed on purpose to the one that she wore when she won.

Being a sticker is a good thing and I know it's Evonne, but my best friend is Yvonne and the old brain messes up from time to time. Thanks

Love that all-court game!

Pliskova was a wonderfully gracious runner up. And congratulations to the All England Club for a well-run event.

I have no way to watch without paying money.

There was however, several hours of the Tour de France on this morning, and this afternoon there's Big 3 Basketball.
