She played mixed doubles with Marty Riessen of Evanston.
Does anyone remember the little girl who was a Famous tennis player in the seventies. Wore pigtails, had a two handed back hand.
Tracy Austin?
Chris Evert?
Someone needs to tell her that it’s very unfashionable these days to be normal.
Andrea Jaeger played great tennis and was an Anglican(?) nun for a while as well.
LGBTFOAD!
The tennis press is in a tizzy over this story, can’t figure out how to promote a female icon who isn’t PC and, worse, is a Christian minister.
Court won more major titles than any other player, 24 (Serena Williams has 23 and Federer has 20) and next Australian Open will mark the 50th anniversary of her 1970 Grand Slam sweep (she won 6 consecutive titles). The “calendar” Grand Slam is a unique accomplishment achieved by only 4 other players, Don Budge (1, 1938), Maureen Connolly (1, 1953), Rod Laver (2, 1962 & 1969), and Steffi Graff (1, 1988).
It’s especially galling to the leftist tennis press that Serena can’t match Court’s record, but they have to keep face and respect Court’s accomplishments. Meanwhile, we’ll be getting more and more potshots at her as the Aussie Open comes.
Btw, 2 years ago at Melbourne, Tennys Sandgren had a remarkable run from nowhere to the quarterfinals. He was suddenly famous and the press picked up a Tweet he had sent out, from obscurity, critical of Serena, and he was attacked relentlessly over it. Oh, and Tennys is a “known” Christian.
Tennis Australia (TA) hurts children.
yes Tracy Austin.
Thank you.
riggs beat court?
I thought it was billie jesn king?
This is exactly what they expect.
Yes, he beat Court in the first match.
Riggs was a notorious gambler and hustler. Sometime later, Billie Jean King challenged him which is really odd since she was not as highly rated as Court and Riggs had really beaten Court badly.
All the money was on Riggs and guess who lost?
I think the question was whether he threw the game??
