‘Sue could beat anyone’: 50 years on from Barker’s French Open triumph

Sue Barker won the 1976 Roland Garros women's singles title, defeating Czech player Renata Tomáčková in three sets — her only Grand Slam victory. This year's French Open, beginning on Sunday, marks the 50th anniversary of her win. Barker remains the last British player, male or female, to win in Paris, following Christine Truman (1959) and Ann Jones (1961, 1966).
