Tha haters are EVERYBODY, in this case, 'cos NOBODY, neither officially nor unoficially recognizes a noncalendar Slam as a Slam (as it should go without saying), even the very same ITF, which has nothing like that quoted in its yearbook.
Go to ITF yearbook, pg.129 and you'll read...."Grand Slam (winning all four Championships in the same calendar year)<br />Follows the list of winners in the open era : Laver, Court, Graf. <br />No Navratilova.<br />Haters, sure.
More haters: ALL tennis books, ALL tennis writers, ALL critics, ALL.
To fanatics, obviously, everybody who denies the absolute perfection of their idol is an infidel, isn't it, Zummi?<br /> <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
Martina Navratilova, the most elegant player ever, the best serve and volley player ever, the greatest doubles player ever has NEVER achieved a Grand Slam.
