**** cancer. I always loved watching Martina play.

My apologies if this has been posted before (probably on one of the Tennis threads?), but if you haven't checked out Heavy Topspin's Tennis 128, it's great. After reading the Baseball 100 by Joe Pos, Jeff Sackmann used his blog to something similar. There are some great essays in here: https://www.tennisabstract.com/blog/2022/02/01/introducing-the-tennis-128/

IIRC, she wound up being the protagonist as time went on in the Everet/Navratilova story.

Kind of an insane stat: Evert and Navratilova faced each other 80 times --- 60 of them in finals --- over 15 years.

Federer-Nadal went a little longer than that and "only'' played 40 times.
