Famous Australian tennis players

Enjoy a selection of clips featuring some of Australia's greatest tennis champions.

Our tennis players dominated the world rankings, particularly from the 1950s to the 70s, which commentators look back on as a golden age of Australian tennis.

Players from this era highlighted here include Rod Laver, Margaret Court, Evonne Goolagong Cawley, John Newcombe and Ken Rosewall.

Also represented are Pat Cash, Pat Rafter and Lleyton Hewitt, who have won major events in more recent times.

There's also a look at how tennis racquets are made, a tennis-themed road safety video and tennis players on roller skates!

WARNING: this collection may contain names, images or voices of deceased Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
