Evert/Barker - 1980 Wightman Cup
…Martin

This was the first, and only time, I ever saw Chris Evert play live.
 
I took my younger sister to The Royal Albert Hall to watch her play Sue Barker. The atmosphere was terrific, but very pro British. Chris played her usual calm, effortless game, which made it look deceptively easy. Sue played well, though the end result was never in doubt.
 
What I remember most though, was seeing her after the match, signing autographs. She was much prettier and petite looking than on TV . OK, she was gorgeous! I've grown out of my teenage crush, but I still enjoy watching her matches now and then, and the same charm is always there.
