You're dispicable giving this spin.  I'll have to give this bullshit
serious consideration when weighing your credibility on any other
issue.  Absolute bullshit.  The only player who could pose a conistent
threat to Graf's dominance is taken out and you think Graf suffered? 
If there had been a tighter field at the top, maybe you would have a
point, but there wasn't and you don't.  Graf could beat the others at
75% capacity.  'Mighta won 2 more slams'  Not particularly generous
seeing as she had won, what, 6 slams in the prior 2 years?  I'm pretty
sure it would have been quite a few more than 2.
