To illustrate how actual tennis fans favor actual players over pin-ups: at the USO I was among a mob of fans watching a doubles match, which had been relegated to an outer court because of rain earlier in the day. People were even hanging over the top of the bleachers in the adjoining stadium (where another match was being played!) just to get a look. When it was over and Anna K exited the court, she was at first, the focus of everyone’s attention – until a moment later when Martina Navratilova emerged after her – at which point, the swarm of people immediately turned like a gaggle geese, calling out her name and following her through the tennis center, jockeying for autographs, leaving poor little Anna almost forgotten.

When was this written? What does he mean “if” she ever quits? She hasn’t played officially since 2003 if I’m not mistaken. So how can she still qualify as a tennis icon? and “She wins Grand Slams but doesn’t win Wimbledon itself”. What GS did she ever win? She hasn’t won any title in her career in singles, only in doubles. Is it me or is there something wrong with this article?
