I really dislike the concept of GOAT. He's definitely the most accomplished MALE CC tennis player in either the open or pre-open era. Check out Evert's CC record and accomplishments.

She has a strong forehand and is more on the aggressive side. Her BH side seems solid as well. Definitely a different game style versus the Woz. She had Hantuchova on her heels in quite a few points.
