But she was the most exciting woman's player I can recall and IMO the best there ever was. I certainly can support her as GOAT.

You are just a mamby pampy on a message board trying to cause trouble, because you simply havn't added anything credible or substantial to this topic.. You have just played the guy that wants to disagree for the sake of reading your own replies.. |

 The female GOAT also would have only a third of the # of wins of the current record holder (Navratilova of course) at arguably the biggest event in tennis, and by far the biggest event on her consensus best surface, and even half the # of wins at that very event as her biggest contemporary rival who isnt even a serious GOAT contender. That all makes perfect sense.  |

Just so I don't have to re-write my comment from the last page. (seems you obviously just skim through and pick what you want, and don't read everything). Here is my reply to your old and tired remark about the Australian Open of the day..
"As for your Australian Open comment. Let me just be very clear about one thing in regards to that.. The Australian Open at the time Court won all of her 11 was open to all and sundry that wanted to play it. The fact that Americans and Europeans chose not to is of no fault of Courts. In fact who says that the fields would have been any better if the internationals had of been there or not? Maybe the weak Australian players scared them off from coming? The fact is that you can't win something if you don't show up. So I say fool those players for not making the effort. And good on Margaret for supporting her sport, and supporting her home Grand Slam... For that effort, the history books will forever show that she did infact turn up to play. And that she did in fact win.. 11 of those suckers!! To say that she played weak fields. Then by winning all slams on multiple occasions suggests that it wouldn't have mattered who she played.. She could win anywhere, against anyone. Period..." As for you sir. You have won jack shyte in the grand scheme of tennis history.. So all I can say is that there are no awards for being GOAT as an annoying little troll on a message board that want's to make up history to suit his own argument.. Personally I don't care if Court is the greatest. I just know that Martina, and Graf are not... |

Anyway lets all give Court her due on one thing. She is the all time GOAT in beating Jan Lehane in slam finals. Nobody has ever done that better than her, or surely beaten someone of that low of quality in as many as 4 slam finals. Last edited by lambielspins : 10-08-2009 at 02:48 AM. |

As for you other plebs.. Its funny to watch the sharks circle.. Not only have you not added anything substantial or informative to this thread. But you have all gone into a feeding frenzy... Its great to see that instead of using these boards for open honest discussion. You half-witts prefer to use it as your personal toilet and just ruin threads for your own pleasure.. Last I will say on it, as this subject has become old... Last edited by Darth_Timmaayyy!! : 10-08-2009 at 02:16 PM. |

For a European or American to travel to Australia for just one (or maybe two) tournaments was simply to expensive. |

IMO, Graf's most impressive achievement is that she won FO, Wimbledon AND USO in the same year FOUR times. The three most prestigious tournaments in the world. Mind-blowing! |

Court isn't far behind, tough. Or Evert and Navratilova. |

No, they aren't. Back in those times the pool of tennis-playing women was far, far smaller than in the open era. |
