great quality..Tracy was really good..she hit some amazing angles.. Chris was good but she seemed a little nervous

[wonderwazza]

As an Evert fan you can see how fearless Austin was playing her at this point...quite the slugfest!!

@thadxxx. I think Chris trying to win it as Evert-Lloyd got to her for the most part. Had she stayed as Evert, she would have won more.

@DavidKTMS They varied the speed to throw their opponent off if you always hit it the same speed it's kind of predictable. Also they dropped it right over the net made it hard to get.

@sp8211a I don't understand why some just stand there and let the ball go by why wouldn't they try to win every point they can?

[DavidKTMS]

is it me or did some points seem realllllly slow and some points the pace was like rediculous fast?

@chevgr with todays rackets, no wonder...In those days they really had great technique...

@andyyyp1 : I'll take today's women's tennis over thi era all the time... Those archaic wooden rackets, the boring rallies....

Oh my god, this match is sooooooooo boring, i can't believe people used to watch this and defend this. Thank god the game has evolved .

RF First, I agree they should not use wood rackets if it's bad for the enviornment and all.

But I just keep looking at Baseball who didn't change their bats, and theykep the integrity of their game intact.

But again, the main reason to not use the Wood rackets is if it's bad for the enviornment and all.

I enjoy both players tremendously, but the moon balls decrease my interest. I kept waiting for one of them to just hit the ball, and Tracy seemed to be the only one to give it a try consistently. I'm not keen on the waiting game, I am more partial to the players who make things happen....that's why Martina dominated all of them back in the day.
