tracy austin was just downright weird i thought when she first came out. an absolute shameless wannabe clone of chris.....right down to even prettifying herself up with the nail polish beforehand.
i think a lot of the insecurity chris felt when facing tracy was largely in part because she was looking across the net at a droid. that would unsettle anyone.
tracy had brothers who played tennis so she got to play against men all the time,so playing against women was probably much easier to her since she was used to playing her brothers who ran her all over the court.
And her coach worked the heck out of her. Robert Lansdorp. A lot of drills from different places on the court including "no man's land" maybe that is why she was so good at taking the ball out of the air from there and putting it in a corner.
Which one? Both are using Wilson wood rackets. Chris is using a Chris Evert autograph one and I think Tracy is using a Jack Kramer one but I can't tell for sure in this video. About 10 oz unstrung about 13 oz strung--but some of them seemed heavier than that to me.
