An unforgettable, fantastic legend. May her memory endure forever. 🎾🔥
My first WTA Queen, when I was just a kid back in the 70s.
To see her and listen to her commentary today … perfect !
While it wasn't a final win, I think Evert's win over Austin in the 1980 Semifinals was Evert's most satisfying and desperately wanted to win of any U.S. Open match she ever played...
Absolutely
That should have replaced the clip of her complimenting Shriver
Without a doubt her win over Austin in 80 was her greatest open match
Why Chrissy is so underrated? I don't know why people can't put her in the same category of Martina, Steffi, Serena or even Margaret Court in GOAT debate. She had amazing records. Even pre open era legends like Helen Wills & Suzanne Lenglen often rated higher than Chris Evert by many tennis pundits & critics.
For once we agree. Chris is definitely a GOAT contender. For me, the greatest wooden racket player ever, superior to Court, and certainly the greatest clay courter.
@@tobiasisback4605 i think for few reasons she is underrated. She didn't have super high peak unlike Martina, Steffi, Serena or even Monica (1991-92), never wins more than 2 slams in a year, 13 consecutive loses against Navratilova despite being world no 2, lost to 8 consecutive times to Steffi when Chrissy was still ranked in the top 3 & the most important reason why she is underrated because of her playing style, if you watch her matches on KZhead now her game looks so slow with hardly any power more like ping pong lol😂😂. Younger generation makes mokery of her tennis skills now.
I am hunk most place her above these names as far as a beloved player. She won 90 percent of all of her matches over 19 years highest of all players . Won at least one slam event for 13 consecutive years . Number one fir 7 yrs number 2 for 5 yrs number 3 for 6 number 4 for 1971 her first year and was ranked number 4 going into her last USOpen .
Greatest wood racket woman player of all time
@@lenwelch2195 Agreed. Better than Court and Navratilova with a wooden racket. And if she'd played AO and FO in the mid to late 70s, perhaps even the GOAT.
You got a few things wrong here. Her kind words about Pam in an acceptance speech is not one of the top moments. What about the win over Seles? That was probably her best played match of them all. What about the win over Austin in the semis?
She was so pretty when she was young.
She was always pretty.
Points from her most important open win against Austin in 80 I’m surprised those points are not included here .
you could never underestimate her. She was icecold under pressure.
1984 final vs Martina, 1st set point. Martina had beaten Chris 12 or 13 times straight to that point, and that 1st set win (in my opinion) turned the tide. Chris didn't win that match but that was the one that showed the true heart of a champion. And it wasn't long after that she beat Martina in Florida and then the classic 85 French. But in my opinion that 84 final set the table for what was to come
This is nice to see
Chris will always be the GOAT for me. Had she played the AO consistently like today's players did and had she not committed to WTT instead of playing the FO, I've no doubt she would be at about 24 Grand Slam championships. Her consistency over 20 years is untouched. And her total tournament and match wins shows her commitment to the entire tour and not just to major tournaments. And, frankly, without Chris, the women's game over the past 20 years would not be what it is today because without the 2-handed backhand, none of the women today would be playing this game.
Hana could barely get a ball in sometimes. Other times absolutely brilliant...
Massive crush on Christie back in the day - gorgeous!😍
Come on... Where is the match vs Monica Seles??
No 1980 semifinal against Austin? Weird omission
❤❤❤
Mes 17a je me rappel
I've watched Chrissie throughout her career and these are definitely not my top 10 moments.
no. not really
Chrissie must be one of the few players who played on 3 different surfaces at the US Open. Donald Trump in Chrissies players box at her final match. 😱
6:31- . you would **never observe Russian players treating anyone like that, with kindness and respect.
Is that Trump at 5:55 ?
Sure is
She has been quietly anti-Trump for a few years now.
"A disappointment for Andy"... commentary that did not age well.
Dea
She looks so fragile to become the best.
5:53 Donald Trump!
wow, level of tennis was so low then
I don't know if that's quite accurate in my view though I would understand why you feel that way. I think the women didn't hit the ball with the power they do nowadays. There has been improvement with equipment. One of the points shown between Evert and Navratilova was very impressive. In other highlights of Evert I was very impressed with her ball placement.
@@smurfette1509 Agree! Greater emphasis on ball placement, strategy, constructing a point. It's not better or worse than the power game we see today, just different. And yeah, maybe not as dramatic.
You need help and probably don't watch tennis
Yeah i agree, but the racquet & traning equipment are also different then. I think Martina & Steffi changed women's tennis more than anybody. Martina with her athleticism & Graf with her forehand & power & unbelievable footwork changed the whole scenario of women's tennis.
Bear in mind that Martina beat a top 20 player in her mid 40s, coming out of retirement, and took a set off a top 5 player in the early 2000s. I think you underestimate how well she, Chris and Steffi played.
