8. 11 of Court's Slams happened at the Aussie Open

this was back before most players played the Australian Open and in many years literally no non-Aussie appeared in the women's raw (when she won in 1960 for example 2 non-Aussies, Maria Bueno and Christine Truman played; the next year, it was down to 1 non-Aussie). I admit that I never saw her play, and I have no doubt that she was a great champion, as her record against Billie Jean attests, but I can't ignore what a terrible person she seems to be, a minister without an ounce of grace.

I have my own, probably unpopular, feelings about this "greatest" debate, but let's face it: if you're part of the conversation, you did pretty damn well
