Goolagong review – ABC drama about Australian tennis legend is deeper than most sporting biopics

 P

roductions that recount the lives of great sportspeople are often laden with a rah-rah-rah, “win at all costs” mentality that I find about as appealing as a fart in an elevator. But watching the ABC’s new series about Australian tennis legend Evonne Goolagong Cawley – a former world No 1 whose accomplishments include seven grand slam singles titles – it is soon clear this will be something else, something deeper. Her story unfolds over three well-paced episodes with a refreshing kind of gracefulness. While it is perhaps not must-see viewing, it’s well above standard sports fare, and I remained captivated throughout https://www.effectivegatecpm.com/uufcizgyq?key=34e7c39c6b69da5a59cbec6f115a55fa
