Gabriela Sabatini v Chris Evert French Open 1985 pt3

[@jujumusique1305]

Chris’ post match interview shows what’s great spirits and mental fortitude she had.

[@jamespeyton7312]

I remember that before the match started Sabatini and her coach said she would win. They didn't see the Mandlikova Evert match at Wimbledon from the year before.

[@markwhitman72]

Chrissie's lobs are CRAZY GOOD! She had at least the best lobs, drop shots, and two-handed backhand in all of womenshistory!

[@BTURNER1961]

It takes a lot more than hundreds and hundreds of French men, and women to intimidate or bully Chris Evert on a tennis court.

[@lenwelch2195]

It took Chris 3 years to be number one. Martina 6 yrs before reaching it for the first time and hold that for the year (1979)

[@NOTHEOTHERGUY]

Is there any worse crowd than the French?

[@BTURNER1961]

Back then the Italians in Rome were considered by many to be the most partisan and obnoxious in their partisanship.

[@MrBASSET]

no

[@kloatlanta]

US open crowd

[@Agnes-th2zx]

Yes, the french.. 😊

[@tomschmitz-dj1fg]

at night and drunk. A portion of them are just there to be seen and do not even know or care about the game, another portion are drunk and so on...@@kloatlanta

[@Agnes-th2zx]

I wondered why chrissie had her 2 hands wide apart when serving

[@andrews6341]

She never really had a two handed backhand either i noticed. She sorta takes it back with two then hits the ball with one and the one handed slice is odd.

[@jpeyton88]

@@andrews6341 Which point? Evert would hit a one hander very rarely-only when she had to. I read that she would practice a one hander sometimes-and that she beat Burt Reynolds playing left-handed.
