Error in personal details[edit]

The text refers to Greg Norman's new wife as Kristen Kunter. Her name is actually Kirsten Kutner. Can an administrator fix this ?

Wasn't there a Twitter account set up to track her commentating gaffes???[edit]

Wasn't there a Twitter account set up to track her commentating gaffes??? Shouldn't that be in here? I know it has been taken down, but would be nice to have a link to places where the quotes are still available on the internet. Thanks to anybody who can provide the link and put it in her bio. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Betathetapi545 (talk • contribs) 17:59, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Error in lead[edit]

"Evert's career winning percentage in singles matches of 90.00% (1309–146) is the highest in the history of tennis, for men or women".

Wrong. Not even the highest in just Open Era.

Highest all-time, women (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-time_tennis_records_%E2%80%93_women%27s_singles#Winning_percentage_by_surface):

  1. Suzanne Lenglen 341–7 (97.99%)
  2. Helen Wills 398–35 (91.91%)
  3. Margaret Court 1180–107 (91.68%)
  4. Chris Evert 1309–146 (89.96%)

Highest in Open Era, women (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Era_tennis_records_%E2%80%93_women%27s_singles#Match_record_by_court_type):

  1. Margaret Court 593–56 (91.37%)
  2. Chris Evert 1309–146 (89.97%)
  3. Steffi Graf 902–115 (88.69%)

Plus on the men's side there's Anthony Wilding, 636–57 (91.77%) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.40.192.148 (talk) 18:00, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly, Wikipedia itself is not a reliable source for references Billsmith60 (talk) 11:10, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In other words, use non-Wikipedia sources to make your point Billsmith60 (talk) 11:22, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]


Both (https://db4tennis.com/players/female/margaret-smith-court) and (https://sportslumo.com/tennis/margaret-court-an-unparalleled-legend-who-set-the-benchmark/) confirm Court's >91% OE win rate, and are more reliable than chrisevert.net — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.135.79.50 (talk) 23:15, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What did she do after she retired????[edit]

We just don't know what she did after she retired 72.205.210.82 (talk) 21:44, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"260 weeks"[edit]

"Evert was ranked world No. 1 for 260 weeks"

260 weeks = 5 years

(5 x 52 = 260) Is there any good reason not to use "5 years", which is a lot easier to grasp? Or is it just because 260 is more impressive than 5?
