[edit] Evert in the French Open

Right in the middle of her 125-game winning streak, Chris Evert didn't even enter the French Open for three consecutive years (76-78). Why didn't she? She was even the defending champ in 1976! It seems like this cheapens the 125-game streak if she wasn't playing in the most prominent clay-court tournament during much of it. --Dantheox 23:46, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

She didn't enter the French Open during those years because she played World Team Tennis instead. And her streak is not cheapened by not entering the event because none of the top females entered that tournament during those years, either. In fact, if Evert had entered the tournament, she would have won easily because of the lack of competition. Now THAT would have cheapened her streak. Tennis expert 17:55, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm adding an infobox, as seen in most of the tennis player pages. Someone feel free to add a picture!--Flute138 17:34, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
