ROD LAVER.- EXCELENTE JUGADOR, MEJOR PERSONA.- QUE HUMILDAD .-

[@MrPernell27]

I simply don’t understand his response to the first question. Margaret Court came to the net to volley. So did Helen Wills Moody, Maureen Connolly and practically every player of that ear. Chris Evert was the first player that didn’t come to the net. He says Margaret Court came up because of BJK. WTF; she’s older than BJK

[@thomasjudge5785]

I had some of your same thoughts. But, I think what he may have meant was that BJK’s game was SO aggressive and her attacking style was so relentless. THAT was what made her game different. Also, I believe Helen W M and Maureen C were pretty consistent baseliners.
