Chrissie sure knows her stuff as an analyst and she is so gracious to Sue concerning her own game in the past!! I mean Chrissie doesn't have to compliment anyone being the legend that she is but she does!! Brava!
Sue had a huge forehand. Her backhand was a slice and was dependable but she couldn’t hit an offensive shot with it. She really put everything into her forehand. Her inside out forehand was the killer shot.
These two r so classy. Chrissie, I loved talking about Sues Forhand which was amazing in the 70's with that wooden racquet. And of course, the Evert devestating 2 handed backhand which is the reason they use 2 hands. That's Everts influence.
My mom loved Chris Evert and the only time she watched sports was ice skating and Chris. Maybe she liked the grace of movement, but it never occurred to me to ask her.
I love them reminiscing here, and Chris is absolutely right, this was Sue Barker's one and only chance to take Wimbledon in 77. If she had been up against Virginia, she probably would have beaten her. Having said that, 77 also should have been Chrissie's easiest Wimbledon win ever
Sue had a roughly even record against Virginia while she was only 1-22 against Chris. Oddly enough, however, Betty Stove had her number, as she had more wins against Sue than losses. Yet, Betty had beaten Virginia only once or twice in her career. I am not sure as to whether Sue would have beaten Virginia. The latter was 32 years old, had never won Wimbledon before, and knew that her time was nigh. The crowd would probably have been behind Virginia. And anyone who beats Chris Evert in the semifinals has to be the favorite to win.
What a delight to see this exchange between two such elegant and knowledgeable ladies. I was just starting to follow tennis when Sue Barker was winding down her career and would see her name in various stories and scores of matches, but I'd never really scene her or even knew what kind of game she had.
Oh I love this. The candid chat; reminiscing about the past and talking about current and future players. Also, Evert proves you can be a sixty year old woman, not have plastic surgery, and still be gorgeous.
actually barker only beat evert once and that was in 1979 indoors around the time when evert was pre-occupied with her upcoming marriage to john lloyd.. the next tournament right afterwards would be the tournament where evert lost to austin for the first time, so evert was not "there" physically or mentally during this loss to barker or the loss austin in this couple of weeks time period.. i believe the head to head of evert with barker is 23 to 1 and rarely did sue even take sets of evert (besides the loss, just 3 sets altogether).. interesting though in that barker gave austin fits, including defeating austin in 1981 indoors in england shortly after austin had won the u..s open..
actually i do bring up the head to head with martina WHEN it's a martina vs chris video.. sorry if the truth and facts are the way they are.. as if, it was the other way around with goolagong leading the head to head you wouldn't be posting that? yes, the austin vs evert head to head is 9-8 in austin's favor..over a span of only from 1977 to 1982.. hardly a record that anyone can really make a case for... the case can be made however, that 5 of those wins of austin did occur within only a few months.. a case can be made that while evert's wins over austin included one when she was only 14 and a few when she was only 15, the same case can be said that the last time they played each other evert did win 6-0 6-0... was austin at her best then? no, but she did and was able to beat a formidable jaeger in the previous round... the biggest case is 18 grand slams singles titles (3 more would have been the case if she had played the 3 french opens instead of wtt) versus 2 of austin' and goolagong's 7 singles slams.. those are the facts, for whatever reason... sorry if the facts don't work into your favorite players favor... and while you want to say it's not evonne's fault she had kids well it's also not evert's fault either just like in the case with austin as well!.. p.s. evert IS my favorite player but i do like goolagong and austin too.. just as you have YOUR favorites..
@@martinpascoe5904 get some help. Yes Evonne was an artist on the court and Evertvwas by far the superior player if dedication and determination are talents . No one is shitting on any one except you are to others commenting here . Nobody likes your comments so stay off if the only thing you can say is out of line . Everyone would be happier if you refrained from trolling others commenting . They are not saying anything they is negative - only you are .
Evert was tremendously consistent, most slam finals, semis, and 1/4 finals (male or female) and she had Navratilova as a main rival, and King before that.
Did you guys completely miss how she clarified her comment? She said Venus is much more consistent now, even more than when she was #1 and the Wimbledon champion.
That was enjoyable,I grew up watching these two.Hard to believe Chrissie Evert is 63 before the end of the year.Looks about 45.Certainly wouldnt say no lol
Sue Barker and Chris Evert one of the top best players in the world , but when the William Sisters started out , Chris Evert's comments had more venom than a cobra
23 wins/ 1 loss. Evert let one match get away in Maryland. In those 23 other matches, Evert lost exactly 3 sets total. 20 matches were straight set wins.
@@andyroo9381 Sue Barker is now seen as a 'poor womans' Steffi Graf. She lacked Graf's speed, her killer instinct, her serve and she lacked the kind of modern graphite racket that permitted Graf's forehand to be Graf's forehand. Evert was perfectly capable of keeping Sue deep so that Chris had plenty of time to run down those bold forehands until the errors came. She outsteadied her.
There's no doubt Evert has had some work done on her face and neck, but hell, when the results look this GOOD, why not? Even Tracy Austin (who's 8 yrs younger) and no doubt has gone under the knife herself, looks like an old hag compared to Evert. Chrissie sure knows how to find the best plastic surgeons like she knows how to hit those passing shots !
These two r amazing & respect each other.
What a lovely , honest and open conversation between two lovely ladies.
So wonderful to see and hear my 1st tennis love, Chrissie Evert... a beautiful woman, a beautiful, no nonsense player... ❤
Chrissie sure knows her stuff as an analyst and she is so gracious to Sue concerning her own game in the past!! I mean Chrissie doesn't have to compliment anyone being the legend that she is but she does!! Brava!
Mark Whitman Well said!
Love Chrissie.
Chris has always been about class whether you like her or not. And still beautiful at any age.
Gonna miss her, I love this interview so much
Loved this interview/discussion. Sue Barker has such a great personality and, yes, she DID have the biggest forehand in the early 70's.
Cliff Richard liked for forehand too..

Best presenter of all time- sue barker
I like her speaking voice and manner of speaking - she is calm, gracious and articulate.
Chrissie did great, astute and incisive. She also was most complimentary towards Barker, the record is like 20-2 for Evert, and towards Goolagong.
actually barker only beat evert once and that was in 1979 indoors around the time when evert was pre-occupied with her upcoming marriage to john lloyd.. the next tournament right afterwards would be the tournament where evert lost to austin for the first time, so evert was not "there" physically or mentally during this loss to barker or the loss austin in this couple of weeks time period.. i believe the head to head of evert with barker is 23 to 1 and rarely did sue even take sets of evert (besides the loss, just 3 sets altogether).. interesting though in that barker gave austin fits, including defeating austin in 1981 indoors in england shortly after austin had won the u..s open..
evert 23 to 1 over barker.. evert 26 to 13 over goolagong..
actually i do bring up the head to head with martina WHEN it's a martina vs chris video.. sorry if the truth and facts are the way they are.. as if, it was the other way around with goolagong leading the head to head you wouldn't be posting that?
yes, the austin vs evert head to head is 9-8 in austin's favor..over a span of only from 1977 to 1982.. hardly a record that anyone can really make a case for... the case can be made however, that 5 of those wins of austin did occur within only a few months.. a case can be made that while evert's wins over austin included one when she was only 14 and a few when she was only 15, the same case can be said that the last time they played each other evert did win 6-0 6-0... was austin at her best then? no, but she did and was able to beat a formidable jaeger in the previous round...
the biggest case is 18 grand slams singles titles (3 more would have been the case if she had played the 3 french opens instead of wtt) versus 2 of austin' and goolagong's 7 singles slams.. those are the facts, for whatever reason... sorry if the facts don't work into your favorite players favor... and while you want to say it's not evonne's fault she had kids well it's also not evert's fault either just like in the case with austin as well!.. p.s. evert IS my favorite player but i do like goolagong and austin too.. just as you have YOUR favorites..
Very true, but for some reason, Barker had a hard time beating Betty Stove, of all people!

Chris Evert and Sue Barker- my two favourite women players of the '70s and '80s.
Cant believe chrissie is over 60. She is still smoking 😍
Willy Severus still geogous she looks younger
She's had some work.
senorgato70 still looking stunning love to have a night out with her
same thought , she looks wonderful in that dress like 45
Lots of work done
I wish she commentated for the BBC. Love her insights.
GracefulDanny ooh,no.
Evert was tremendously consistent, most slam finals, semis, and 1/4 finals (male or female) and she had Navratilova as a main rival, and King before that.
Chris evert look hot at 60 look younger than that great body keep in good condition
I used to say Evert looks like Heather Locklear's older sister, but now she looks like Heather Locklear's younger sister !
I'm obsessed with Chrissie's top.
Chris Evert is class
Beautiful studio 🤫
"Don't think I've ever seen Venus play that well on the grass court"
annnnd I'm out.
RandomGuy285 It's like she forgot about the other wins, particularly in 2008.
i was just about to say ummmm what abt 2008 when she played an IN SHAPE serena who didnt even play a bad match?
Did you guys completely miss how she clarified her comment? She said Venus is much more consistent now, even more than when she was #1 and the Wimbledon champion.
That was enjoyable,I grew up watching these two.Hard to believe Chrissie Evert is 63 before the end of the year.Looks about 45.Certainly wouldnt say no lol
Too much botox. Something's wrong with her lips.
Leo Light Totally agree. She looks younger now than when she retired in 1989. Massive amount of surgery, Botox, fillers etc.
Yes you could see Chris got plastic surgery on her face. It doesn't look natural.
Big money big Botox to e fair Sues probably had a few tweets too ..
You might not say no, but she probably would.
Chris is my favourite tennis player she 'a so beautiful like the way she play gorgeous lady
Sue and Chris are still the best commentators
Sue Barker and Chris Evert one of the top best players in the world , but when the William Sisters started out , Chris Evert's comments had more venom than a cobra
I always thought Chrissie said too many good things about the sisters and don't recall anything negative
Wonder what Chris's record, against Sue Barker, is?
23 wins/ 1 loss. Evert let one match get away in Maryland. In those 23 other matches, Evert lost exactly 3 sets total. 20 matches were straight set wins.
@@BTURNER1961 Well, thank you for taking the time to answer my "just wondering" question. Chris Evert was a dominant force in women's tennis.

She's always ribbing Barker for her backhand! But then, if anyone knows how to hit a backhand, it's Chris Evert
Chrissie's two hander THE greatest ever in woman's game! That goes with her drop shot and unbelievable lobs!
I can't believe it's thirty years ago that she waved goodbye to Centre Court, after losing to Steffi Graf.
I love Sue she's a great presenter and back in their playing days I would have said that Sue was way better looking than Chris !
The carrying on about Venus Williams certainly came crashing down in the final when she got her head handed to her by Garbine Muguruza.
Most time when a legend gets to slam final in late 30's they tend to lose. Federer, Venus, Rosewell, Serena, and Navratilova.
Would...
Chris Evert's dress looks like a train wreck table cloth
The worst commentator in the history of broadcasting
