On the other hand, if this is not a Golden Era, when was it? The 70's? BJK and M. Court fading away and Chrissie and Martina taking over? Evonne Goolagong was there, but was it golden? The 80's? Still Martina and Chrissie, with Handlikova every so often? The 90's? Steffi and Monica. Arantxa really set the clock back on terms of quality (not grit), and Sabatini never jelled, so was it then? The 2000's? Ok, The WS came along, Martina II played some, Lindsay won all of THREE GS (one season for the likes of Martina I and Steffi). So coming around, Charlie's assessment may be right. It may be golden. 14 Karat, but golden still. BTW. Charlie: Great use of emoticons. I cracked at those.
