Ash Barty has won her first Wimbledon crown, beating Karolina Pliskova in a nerve-shredding final to become the first Australian to win the women's singles title for 41 years.
Just like her idol and mentor Evonne Goolagong Cawley half a century earlier, Barty, another Indigenous Australian, annexed the Venus Rosewater Dish but she needed real steel to go with the style on Saturday to win 6-3, 6-7 (4-7), 6-3 on Centre Court.
