Mr Mitton said the female students at the local tennis club outnumber the boys.

"We have an amazing number of young junior girls coming through the ranks," he said.

"It's equal playing conditions; I think the prizemoney's the same for both men and women; and so it's a good quality type of sport to play where women get just as much opportunity as men, which is fantastic."

Barty defeated Karolina Pliskova 6-3, 6-7, 6-3 in the early hours of Sunday morning (Australian time) to become the first Australian woman in over 40 years to win a Wimbledon title.

"It's just great to have another grand slam champion," Mr Mitton said.

"They're like hen's teeth they're so rare across the world.

"it's one of the hardest sports to compete in and to actually win a grand slam event, she's done a fantastic job."
