A separate ranking by Italian statistician Rino Tommasi is given in post 247, page 17 of this thread


Retired:
Margaret Smith Court (having a child)
Olga Morozova (the Sovie Union forces their players off the circuit to boycott South Africans)
Natsha Chymreva (see above)


*Evonne Goolagong goes on a tear late in 1977, but will not reappear on the computer until her 6th events early in 1978.

*A minimum of 6 events is required to appear on the computer.

* Note that there were events not counted on the computer. Jerry Diamond refused to count Lionel Cup events early in the year becuase of the entry of Renee Richards.

The computer differs with most experts on the year end final rankings. King finishes #3, though most writers put her at #5. Wimbledon champion Wade is at #5, while many writers give her the #2 spot. Turnbull at #10 is also a little lower on the computer. Tracy Austin’s first year end ranking is #12, quite impressive for a part-timer. Renee Richards debuts at #21. Though seeded #11 at Wimbledon, Durr fades away and finishes the year at #30. Nancy Richey’s last year ends at #26. Florenta Mihai, French finalist is #32.

Chris Evert

Win-Loss Record: 70-4 (.945)
Won 11 of 14 events entered.

Finalist Washington (lost Navratilova) , Won Hollywood, Seattle, Chicago, LA, Semis San FRancisco (lost Wade) Philadelphia, Slims Chmps, Le'ggs, Family Circle Cup. Semis Wimbledon (lost Wade) Won US Open, Atlanta, Colgate Chmps.

Doubles Record: 22-3 (.888) Won LA, Chicago and Seattle with Casals. They were seeded #2 at Wimbledon but upset early by eventual champs Gouraly/Russell.

Head to Head: 1-0 vs Austin, 5-0 vs Barker, 1-0 vs Casals, 1-0 vs Court, 1-0 vs Durr, 2-1 vs Fromholtz, 2-0 vs Jausovec, 4-0 vs King, 1-0 vs Morozova, 6-1 vs Navratilova, 2-0 vs Reid, 1-0 vs Richey, 4-0 vs Stove, 3-0 vs Turnbull, 6-2 vs Wade.


Sue Barker


In decline at the end of the year. Heavy romance with player Syd Ball in swing at the US Open.


Diane Fromholtz


RU in Aussie Open to Reid. A severe flu knocked her out of Wimbledon. Poor play in WTT resulted in a transfer-the team owner was her fiancee's father! By year-end she was back on track, beating Evert in the Colgate Chmps, but losses to Wade and Navratilova meant she didn't qualify for final.


Evert was head and shoulders above all others in the absence of Goolagong. She only lost 4 times all year, and winning head to heads vs every player. Injuries after the US Open kept her out of some fall events. Of the majors she entered only Wimbledon eluded her.

Any idea what Evonne would have been ranked had the minimum no# of tournaments been lower?

----------------------------------------------
Draw note: Connor=maiden name of Chaloner.

Notes: Kerry Reid wins her elusive grand slam at last. The popular pixie-like lass knew it was her best chance, with Aussie giants Goolagong (pregnant) and Court (retired) absent. In fact, only Lesley Turner Bowrey (lost 1R to Reid) had ever won a slam among all the entries, and none had an Aussie title. Dianne "Hard Way" Fromholtz was top seed and favorite, but she and Kerry each struggled their way to the finals. On a hot day Kerry held serve only once each set (there were 18 breaks in 20 games!), but it was enough to take home the trophy. Having reached the semis 5 times , "There was more than a touch of Cinderella about the overdue occasion." The 29 year-old had been trying ever since she first came on the scene a curly-haired teen in 1965. This was Kerry's lone slam victory, and Fromholtz's only final. The promising lefty never again came so close.

Navratilova shows that ’77 will be an improvement over a lackluster ’76. Before the final her record vs Chris was 3-15. The slimmed down ex-Czech (she's dropped 25 pounds and now weighs 145) serves Evert off the fast Sporteze court in under an hour. "I felt very confident I could win because I was serving well and kept the pressure on her. She started making mistakes."

Evert: "Martina played superior tennis and I wasn't patient enough."

An added attraction for the crowd is Tracy Austin, who is in Portland playing qualifying for the Avon event next week. The Avon qualifying was hled with the Pacific Indoors, both Margolin and Beaven are also entered in the Avon event. Beaven loses in the qualifying, but gains entry as lucku loser, perhaps based on her Pac Coast performance. Tracy's matches have far more fans than the men at the Pac Coast.

Court's comeback continues as she downs second seeded Virginia Wade in the semis. Wade opines
on Court "She's playing a limited game and not covering as much court as before. But we've played so many times, She gets away with a lot of memory shots. She'a not quite the player of two years ago, but she's still so good that when she's slightly off she's a great player." Wade was "sluggish" from finishing her quarter vs Jausovec last, only to have to turn around and face Court at 11:30 the next morning.
Court attributes her comeback to a conversion in November of 1974. According to WT, "She is an ardent follower of the catholic sect of Charismatic Renewal."

Evert breaks Court 3 times and never drop serve in the final. Evert said that "She [court] was pretty easy to beat."The crowd of 10,921 is a Florida record.

Court on Court (regarding her long 3 set matches here): "I'm either running myself into the grave or running myself into form, one or the other."

Animals enjoyed the venue. Nesting birds in the rafters flew overhead during much of the doubles final. In the last game of the Ziegenfuss-Holladay match yells were heard from the stands (a rat was runing about) and Terry Holladay calmly escorted a dog who ran on court back to it's owner, fellow player Kathy Kuykendall. Kathy May turns her ankle in the 1R vs Durr, wins the match, and defaults in the next round. She has a chipped bone and is out 3 weeks.

Slims tour bits and bobs:

Betty Stove quipped after losing to Evert for the umpteenth time that she won't retire until she beats Chris

Tomanova's father is travelign with on tour. The pair argue about her strokes-Dad wants her to use topsin, which doesn't work as well on fast Sporteze carpet. A poll of players by the Miami Herald gets the following results:


Most Atttractive: Kristien Shaw

14 year old Tracy defeats 17 year old Margolin for her first senior level title. This sets a record for the youngest-ever WTA tour title. The final was also notable for both finalists coming through qualifying. Stacy had to retire due to blisters-all the tennis (she won 7 matches to get to the finals) finally catching up with her.

One week after winning her first title, Austin falls to Brit Mottram in the 1st round. Tracy sets a record as the youngest ever to play a Slims event. It was sweet revenge for Mottram, who lost to the kid in Portland. This time the Brit uses a low slice to confound the 90 pound 5' 1" Austin. Mottram: "She didn't play the same as she did in Portlland. She didn't do as much with the short balls and she made allot of unforced errors. She says she wasn't nervous, but I think she was.:

Rosie Casals falls to Kristien Shaw for the second time in as many weeks. Kristien Kemmer shaw attributes her better result to a new topspin backhand she has learned from her coach Ken walts, father of male player Butch Walts.

Off court news is made when Billie Jean King announces she plans to be 100% fit in a bid to play Wimbledon. "it will be the 100th anniversary there. They have all sorts of exciting things planned, and I want to be part of it." King also indicated in the interview that "I would like to have a baby before I'm 35."

The highlight of the qualifying event at Hailey was when the sponsers passed out a bottle of champagne and a rose to each of the 16 final qualifiers. Each girl was handed her presentr by a cowboy. The qualifiers stayed at the Hiawatha Hotel, which had communal showers and bathrooms. There was only one phone. The bar was full of cowboys. One player noted. "The first night the cowboys were a little dirty around the place. The next night they were all slicked out."

Any female may enter an Avon qualifying event as long as she plunks down $25 and passes a sex-chromosone test.

Martina storms through the field. In the final she leads 6-0 5-0 before Barker salvages some pride and takes a game. No slims final has ever been a complete shutout. "I can't play any better than I did today. I played so well I can hardly believe it myself."

Casals’ run to the semis includes a win over tiny Tracy and her long time nemesis Margaret Court. Rosie appeared in full battle regalia for the Austin match, wearing a black shimmering dress especially made for her by Ted Tinling. After winning Casals quiped: "it's important that I beat you now. I might not get another chance." Wade was forced to retire to Barker when she sprained her left ankle. Rosie didn't make the same mistake Greer Stevens did, using dinks, slices, and drop shots rather than tyrying to blast Tracy off the court. When asked about being like Chris Evert she relpied, "I'm tired of everybody saying I play like her. I have my own game."

Match of the week may have Chymreva-Margolin, which ended past midnight at 12:15. Stacy fell flat on her face on sudden-death match point to lose. She later joked "It must have past my bedtime."

Evert gains revenge for her January loss to Martina. Turnbull on her unexpected success this year despite trough draws: "I don'r know what I'm doing right and I hope I never discover it." The rough draws continue though-even her 5th seeding doesn't help, as Wendy goes out to Rosie Caslas-ranked in the top 10 on the computer but unseeded here. Chrissie's whitewash of close friend Kristien Shaw puts a chill on their friendship. Shaw felt that Evert humiliated her on purpose in not dropping a game.

Chrissie must be a great teammate. She has played WTT partner Kristien Shaw in successive weeks and given her a total of one game in the process.
This is the last event that involved the Soviet player on tour this year. The USSR pulled its players off the tour because they weren’t allowed to compete against the South Africans. For the second week in a row a Soviet player has been in the semis. Morozova is still a top 20 player though her best years are past. Chmyreva is closing in on the top ten. However, it will be another decade before the Soviets can compete internationally, effectively ending young Natasha’s career.

Kathy May shocks Martina in the first round. Journeywoman Kathy Harter, a ’67 Wimbledon semifinalist defeats Fromholtz to reach the quarters. Rosei Casals probably the 4th seed replaced by Tolleson as a lucky loser. All of this leaves the upper half wide open, with Tery Holladay taking advantage to reach the final.

Meanwhile, Sue Barker defeats #1 Brit Wade and wins the event for the second straight week.
