Court should have won more Wimbledons (only 3). She won the Australian Open 11 times but against mainly nobody's (except Goolagong in 71 and 73) Take out the Australian Open titles and you havent got much. Sorry, but Margaret Court played in an era when after Billie-Jean the next best players were Virginia Wade and Rosie Casals (who?) Very disappointing big time player who also made irreverent excuses including a famous one when she told the world she was pregnant during the 1971 Wimbledon Final loss to Goolagong. So What.....Evert also had her measure and she really was quite a bore. Way superior to Wade but way inferior to Navratilova
