Nancye Wynne Bolton
An Australian Tennis Champion

I have never met a girl with such wonderful natural ability...
She looks at the world from a cheery, boyish standpoint, can hit as hard as a man and is the embodiment of grace on the court.
(Coach Leo Guiney)

The Australian Tennis Hall of Fame includes only thirty champions; thirty Australians who have made their unique mark in Australia’s tennis history. One of these champions is Nancye Wynne Bolton.

Nancye won her first Australian tennis championship at the age of 18 and went on to win another five between 1937 and 1951, a record surpassed only by the great Margaret Court.

This is Nancye’s story, as described in her own words through excerpts from her meticulously kept travel diaries, press reports of the day and the recollections of friends and family. It is a story which includes personal tragedy and loss and outstanding athletic achievements interrupted by war. This book gives the reader a fascinating insight into the joys and frustrations of being a female athlete touring Australia and the world in the 1930s and 40s, when tennis was a very different game.

Nancye’s imposing physical presence along with her controversial tennis attire and nonchalant attitude made her a character larger than life, both on and off the court.
