Mexico City /
On December 1, 1984, Chris Evert beat French Pascale Paradis in the round of 16 at the Australian Open; Although the fact that his 6-1, 6-7, 6-2 victory took a back seat as soon as he conquered the Grand Slam, it is important to remember that that duel earned him his 1000th victory as a professional and not only that, It became historic by being the first female or male tennis player to reach this figure. The American winner of 18 Grand Slams and that he spent 260 weeks in total at the top of the ranking of the WTA, she would eventually retire with 1309 victories in total, which is enough to be the second tennis player in the list of most games won.
It is very important to emphasize that his winning percentage is 89.97 percent which translates into the highest Open-era and historic second only to Margaret Court. It even exceeds the percentage of the player who won the most wins in her career, Martina Navratilova, who stayed at 86 percent despite adding 1,442, a record that seems impossible to beat in the coming years. The Czech spent 332 weeks as number 1 in the ranking and there are not a few records she holds until today.
Third we have the great Steffi Graff who was left with 900 duels won, however he presumes 22 Grand Slams, a winning percentage of 88.69 percent, 377 weeks in the top rung of the ranking and the only one with a Golden Slam, in addition to having each won the Big Four four times. To all this, where is another historical one like Serena Williams? The 23 Grand Slams winner is far from reaching 1,000 at age 39, as her current record stands at 843 victories. His sister Venus is 812.
