Great Video! I like when the announcers (Pat Summerall and Tony Trabert) say the winners get $4500 dollars. That was a lot of money in 1975 for a final.
american clay - they still use it today - in fact the women are playing on it this week at the Family Circle Cup - it's made of crushed granite and is very slippy as opposed to the red clay of europe which is made of crushed brick which is why it is red (Roland Garros) not green.
I didn't like how BJK shows up Rosie when she misses shots. I know she is mad at the circumstance than Rosie but still if Rosie did that, BJK would have gone nuts.
@Ariamaluum I agree but this is typical of King's unsportsman's like behaviour all through her career. She also rubbished Court's fantastic grand slam achievements by saying she didn't play lots of the slams in the earlier years. She travelled to Oz for Court's 40th anniversary of the Grand Slam and chose her words so that she didn't pay her any compliments at all. Court who was a much better overall player than King and most gracious.
I've heard Margaret Court is planning a comeback. Is there any truth to this rumour?

How come Rosie was in the right hand court? She always played on the backhand side with King>

Would loved to have seen Navratilova and Evert playing doubles together, too bad they lost, though interesting that they were the #1 seeds!
