French Open: Sue Barker listed as Australian on women's singles trophy


'1976 S. Barker AUST'2019 French Open Venue: Roland Garros, Paris Dates: 26 May-9 June Coverage: Live text and radio commentary on selected matches on the BBC Sport website and app. All this time we'd been thinking Sue Barker was the last British woman to win the French Open.
