While browsing through some tennis forums I found this gem:
1) Chris Evert's winning percentage in 12 months before her loss to 16-year-old Steffi Graf at Hilton Head Island on April 13th, 1986: 93.8 %.
2) Monica Seles's winning percentage in 12 months before the stabbing in Hamburg on April 30th, 1993: 92.1 %.
Seems that 31-year-old Chrissie was at least as good as peak Seles at age 19.
And we can't say that 1985/86 was a clown era. Because that would be denigrating Evert AND Navratilova. And 1992/93 could not be an extremely strong era because that would be admitting that Graf's competiton after the Seles stabbing must have been quite good, too.
