Evonne Goolagong - Dunlop Tennis Racket

This is a Dunlop racket from Australia.  It is an Evonne Goolagong Signature Racket from the 1970's.

This racket is part of my collection.   They sell online for a little as $10 to as much as $100 depending on condition and place of manufacture.  This one was made in Australia making it more collectible than most especially in the United States.

Evonne Goolagong had a wonderful slice backhand along with a solid ground game and net game.  Her contemporaries were Chris Everett, Martina Navratilova,  Billie Jean King, and Margaret Court among others.

She had a very successful career with 14 Grand Slam titles and was a former world number 1 tennis player.
