I have recently finished a two act play about the great Australian tennis champion of the 1960s and 70s, John Newcombe. NEWK! (The John Newcombe Story) is currently being decided upon in theatres in Australia, England and America. The footage here is from Kooyong, Melbourne, January 1st 1975 when NEWK toppled world No 1, Jimmy Connors, to win the Australian title.
