01/30/2007 | She was a good player, but very much overrated in the scheme of things. She was nowhere near the level of Martina, Graf, or even Evert. As someone else posted, her greatest noteriety came from beating an old man. I might add that she needed doubles rules to do that; while the 55 year old Riggs played by singles rules.
Way overrated.

01/01/2006 | That backhand volley was a wonder to watch. And yes, I was impressed with the win over Riggs despite the age difference. Riggs had already beaten Court.

02/14/2005 | A great competitor who made Margaret Court a better player. King was also from all accounts very nice to players on the up in the early 70s as Evonne Goolagong writes in her biography. King made the semi finals at Wimbledon at 38 and then again at 39 ! The most interesting American player of the last century and a perfect foil to the mundane icyness of Evert. A true champion in teh Navratilova mould.

07/26/2003 | Intimidating, shrewd, cagey player who lacked power yet was a strategically sound and athletic superior. Her activism and what she gave back to the game will be always be remembered. Magnificent for the sport PR-wise. On her best days, played perfectly thoughtful, finesse style tennis. On a sour note, played with a bit too much gamesmanship against some opponents, trying to psyche other players out both before and during matches (verbally and through body language), however overall a great champion.

03/25/2003 | I think Billie Jean is overrated She was a good player and did a lot for women's tennis especially with regard to getting prize money comparable to the men. However, that seems to always way in her favor when rating all time greats I always considered Margaret Court better as a player.

02/24/2002 | In 1973, she was 29 years old and beat Bobby Riggs, who was 55...and expected us to think she was a big hero, just because she beat a man! Would she have been as impressed if a 29 year old man beat a 55 year old woman? As we like to say here in the south, I was born at night, but it wasn't LAST night.
