Margaret Court: The White Witch of Oz
In reply to FanAttick
I detest that creep
In reply to FanAttick
Why not just make a doll and stick a pin in it?
What's curious is that Serena is known to be a Jehovah's Witness, a sect probably even more anathema to our liberal overlords than Pentecostalism. That said, Serena has never courted (geddit?) any public controversy on subjects like homosexual and abortion rights. This could be due to her being media-savvy and/or well-advised, or, more likely, she's as ignorant of JW/Christian theology as she is of tennis history. That's why I think Court is right to say to say that Serena doesn't admire her, but for the wrong reason.

On what basis do you arrive at that conclusion?
I will stick to tennis and say that in Margaret Courts era, players used a wooden racquet half the size of todays players. However, the players of today are more athletic.

Be wary of the reincarnated posters here.
Sometimes Tom drunk and fool
In reply to StumpCam
even if you playing with wooden spoon, someone still had to win right?
In reply to doosra
The also wore petticoats instead of pum pum shorts!
In reply to StumpCam
in other words, the tennis was not great then
In reply to doosra
It was Bradmanesque!
In reply to StumpCam
MC was the Sobers of her time?
In reply to doosra
That too! Hahahaha!
Court is entitled to her opinion there. Does not diminish Serena's outstanding career. Court has her own resume to be proud of.
Where does Martina Navratilova rank?
In reply to Curtis
more than an opinion, she sounds bitter...i mean that baby comparison is what?
In reply to doosra
80 year olds are known for speaking their minds, if they still have one.
In reply to doosra
Watch yuh tongue, young man!!!!
In reply to doosra
She might be paranoid, too, but that don't mean they aren't out to get her.
In reply to Dukes
that was specially for you
In reply to KTom
who is out to get her and how so?
In reply to doosra
Serenas rant about how she is the greatest athlete regardless of gender wasnt bitter too?
In reply to Chrissy
If it were up to that witch, the likes of Venus and Serena would never been seen on a tennis court
the only thing they would be serving is drinks
In reply to nick2020
Allyuh lucky CCC regulars don't plan to start a thread with all di players allyuh predicted were going to be better than Serena. It's fall down funny
Its never a good idea to compare players from different eras. Just watched a little of 1970 Wimbledon Ladies Final between Court and Billie Jean King. Apparently there was no tie breaker rule in effect.
In reply to doosra
I'm referring to the reported campaign to have the Maureen Court Arena, home to the Australian Open, renamed.
In reply to Chrissy
People hate who dem hate and love who dem love.
If Sharapova did hide from a drug test, steal a woman husband, threaten to shove a ball down an official throat and call women bitches she would be the worst thing ever.
Wunna need to stop worshipping these people when them as flawed as we are.
In reply to StumpCam
except tennis. You can actually make quite a good comparison between the quality of the opposition in the pre- and post open era.
If sports writers were being honest, they would never compare Courts wins with Serenas and I suspect if roles were reversed, you would not be hearing about Serenas record wins that included games in the pre open era.
Margaret Court won an Australian open against a number one tennis playera number one TABLE tennis player.
manufactured outrage much?
In reply to nick2020
Acknowledging di GOAT has nothing to do wish worship.
One day allyuh will get it.
In reply to nick2020
Rahtid..so the man went unwillingly? She held his tool and forced it...
I don't think she is the GOAT but bro..come on
