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 🤜🤛😁

[@lenwelch2195]

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

[@rajusaha855]

Steffi Graf thrashed that rivalry with her FH.😉😉

[@yussepig6629]

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

[@lenwelch2195]

Nope

[@Pass_Sport]

Steffy Graff is better

[@guyinsf]

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.

[@lenwelch2195]

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.
