Despite loving Mac's game, I remember rooting hard for Chris in the 83 Wimbledon final. He could never really get into the match. So after a great run Chris lost routinely in the final.

Players adapt to their own eras. ASV was smart enough to tailor her game to the 90's. But I doubt she would've been as successful in an era with Court, King, Wade, and Goolagong when she struggled...
