Well Steffi, Jana and Martina N all have threads in their names so I started a thread for Chris Evert.
Spot on observation Mark. Martina has a memory like an elephant when it comes to records and scores.Nice to see that relaxed interview. Chris always states she doesn’t remember anything but I think Martina does.
Bet you are right. Revenge is quite a motivator.But she remembers each and every big match loss.
Tracy must have LOVED beating Evert like bongo drums in those matches. Anyone ever see the movie Caberet? Tracy would be the one singing the tune, "The future belongs to me."Although I have a feeling she blocked several losses from late 1979 to early 1980!
Wink wink
In fairness everyone was prone to being blown off the court by Martina if she kept her emotions in check. Chris certainly was too, and actually was a few times.Isn’t that so incredibly strange to even fathom now? Tracy being ‘the One to Fear’? Haha. Even at her best Tracy was still prone to being blown off the court by Martina, given Navratilova’s fitness/whims/mentality at the moment. Didn’t she have several love, 1 & 2 set wins vs Tracy 1979-1981? And don’t even get me started on that fabulous 1981 USO final.
My money is on Ana Leaird. Ana was Evert's best friend in high school. Ana traveled on tour with Evert.Mark,
No, that's not Renee Richards. The woman seems very tall though.
