Back when Tennis was great. ⭐️
1984 USO. Super Saturday Navratilova def Evert-Lloyd 4-6, 6-4, 6-4... Please view that match. Never had New York cheered so LOUDLY for Chris Evert. Such a suspenseful 😮match
Fantastic tennis players. Just wonderful. What amazing role models.
I miss the b and the s from the pbs logo of 1970-1984😢
Watching incredibly powerful strong woman no matter the profession always makes me smile 🤜🤛😁
I admire King so much . When Chrissy came along all of the women resented the fact she got all of the attention . King still winning slam events told them to pipe down and be grateful because Chris was putting money in their pockets . The tennis boom happened because Chris drew the crowd to tennis .
Ohers like Evonne, BJK, Margaret Court and even Tracy Austin also contributed
Great story, but there were other players at the time and other rivalties
Steffi Graf thrashed that rivalry with her FH.😉😉
Only when they were old and injured. Even then it was 9-9 with Martina and 7-6 with Chris. Graf would be a footnote if Seles wasn’t stabbed
Nope
Steffy Graff is better
Graf got lucky with Monica Sele's retiring for 2.5 years after this stabbing at her peak. She wouldn't have won as many slams if Seles wasn't stabbed.
Nope- different era different time . When Graf was number one Martina was old . The Graf of 88 would’ve lost to the Martina of 84,85. Martina’s serve was unreturnable then
Watched until she had to go there, “gender equality”. Turned it off right then.
