if you look at pictures throoughout her life- she had those muscles at a very young age- you saw the veins in her arms at 16- heck, there's a pic in her autobiography at 9 where you see veins in her arms....when she got in shape- she actually slimmed down- she didn't bulk up...she got toned/ripped with what she had
Tooo funny @ .04 seconds is that a mustache we see on Chris, guess the cosmetic, waxing etc wasnt avail back then? Watch the final of the 73 Wimb you can see the same with Chris. Im surprised
It's incredibly punishing rush to the net on almost every single point like Navratilova does here during the entire match and she did it for like 20 years of singles and doubles relentlessly! A baseline like Graf and Evert can conserve a lot more energy by not running to the net on every point. I'm a baseliner and tried the serve n volley thing but didn't have the stamina for it. Without a doubt Martina easily spent more energy during her matches than most of her baseline opponents.
Martina is too honest to take drugs, she has always been the type to wear her heart on her sleeve. People saw her arms and put it down to drugs. Now Madonna has arms like that for working out hard, I think Martina has been exonarated.
if she was significantly bigger in the 1990's and 2000's WHEN there was significant doping rules and testing in place than here in 1984 then why would you think she was on anything in the 80's. She is nowhere near as big as she became in the 90's and the 2000's when she was in her fifties. If she could become so big during serious anti-doping policies why would she need to use performance enhancing drugs? She is not much bigger than evert here who was also in some seriously good shape
@doetim She started he constant net rushing at Wimbledon 1983, it was her coach Mike Estep's advice... so it didn't go on for 20 years !!

Chrissie didn't have the nerve to go for that forehand on 2nd serve 15-40 :-(
