This Nine News Adelaide report returns us to the moment Ash Barty became the first Australian woman in more than 40 years to win Wimbledon. Opening with the final point, the clip captures the emotion of her victory and the celebrations that followed, echoing Pat Cash’s unforgettable climb into the stands in 1987.

You’ll see the key moments that defined the match, including Barty’s early dominance over former world No. 1 Karolína Plíšková and the composure she carried through decisive points. In the tight three-set battle, the Australian top seed and world No. 1 would prevail over her Czech opponent 6-3, 6-7, 6-3 in one hour and fifty-five minutes.

The Queenslander’s post‑match reflections and on‑court speech highlight the years of work behind the win and her deep connection to mentor Evonne Goolagong Cawley, whose own Wimbledon triumphs frame the significance of this achievement.

With Goolagong Cawley appearing later in the report to celebrate Barty’s performance, the clip brings together past and present – a reminder of how meaningful this moment is in First Nations sporting history.
