About this episode
An unseeded 18-year-old at Roland Garros 1988, Australia's Nicole Bradtke (née Provis) reached the semifinals — her best Grand Slam singles result. The clay-loving Melburnian sits down with Luke Dennehy to reflect on her charmed run 36 years ago that included a quarterfinal win over eventual three-time Roland Garros champion Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario, the elusive match point against Natasha Zvereva that cost her a spot in the final, and the telegram she received from the Australian Prime Minister.
