"Strange" reaction of Chris Evert about Novak...

Yep, Mecir, Rosset, Massu, Kaffelnikov >>>> Djokovic, Federer

Monica Puig and Elena Dementieva >>>>> Navratilova, Court

If that makes them feel better. :D

Unfair comment tbh. Novak is having one of the most stellar seasons in history at 34. No one is unbeatable and wins everything. Give some credit to this legend for crying out loud.

Very odd indeed. The guy has had one of the greatest runs in the history of tennis and gets dogged for not winning literally everything.

Evert trying to be relevant, Kyrgios style.

I think it is expected when the field is a joke and he is the only physically strong/ able body left of the big 3.

In singles, Evert reached the semifinals or better in 52 of the 56 Grand Slams she played, including the semifinals or better of 34 consecutive Grand Slams entered from the 1971 US Open through the 1983 French Open.[5] Evert never lost in the first or second round of a Grand Slam singles tournament and lost in the third round only twice. In Grand Slam women's singles play, Evert won a record seven titles at the French Open and a co-record six championships at the US Open (tied with Serena Williams).

Evert's career winning percentage in singles matches of 89.97% (1309–146) is the highest in the history of the Open Era, for men or women. On clay courts, her career winning percentage in singles matches of 94.55% (382–22) remains a WTA record.

Weak era. No depth on WTA then. Domination rarer in sports with larger pools of potential players. Many women around the world still have minimal access to tennis—pool of potential talent smaller.

Ouch! Don't rub it in Chrissie will you?? :oops:

Edit: sorry, just realised that wasn't Chrissie's tweet but somebody else that she was responding to. Phew! :cool:
No need to say sorry, just go to that stupid ****ter site and you will never see who said what and which is a reponse to what. They can't even sort their trash chronologically, the reactions are sorted like 1h, 1h, 4h, 5h, 3h, 1h, no tree structure, no logic at all.

again, Chrissy did NOT tweet that, she was responding. Man talk about memoirs and misinformation

Cheeto-head has no idea how Twitter works. We will explain.

Chrissie has a million followers. The original tweeter has zero followers. It would have remained an obscure tweet had Chrissy not chosen to respond to it and broadcast to her million followers.

Lol didn't need to respond to such tweets, Chrissy. Fans post random sheets all the time.

Even Jason gets it.

I could explain to you the definition of being bigoted (ie degrading all women vs commenting on an individual) but you’re definitely too dense to distinguish between the two.

Gender card, race card, mental health card... You have got so many cards to play with!

This much fracas over the type of smiley Chrissy used. :rolleyes:o_O She's not tweeted that bilge, someone else did and she's said that tweet was too brutal. Why make so much ballyhoo about a smiley? What next? Count where she used a full stop or comma or did not?

Field not a joke obviously. Tsitsipas gave us an interesting FO final and Zverev just ended Tun for Golden Slam.
And Tsitsipas and Zverev have won how many slams and masters and gold medals? There's no disputing the fact that the field was weak but the level of competition in the ATP has been weak for a number of years, especially the last few.

I disagree fundamentally. Clay GOAT has dominated. Grass GOAT Fed has been at very high level until 2019. Nole at near peak level on all surfaces. Young players have high peaks but lack mental resolve/belief.

What a dumb ass tweet

Cilic, Wawrinka, and Murray hadn’t won a slam by 2008.

Davydenko and Ferrer never won anything, and players like Zverev, Med, Tsitsi are far better than them.

In 15 years we likely will look back at this draw and be able to count several slam champions too
