Chris Evert set a lot of records in her day; one that perhaps may live on for a while is the best career W/L percentage.

Evert: 1309-146 (.900)
Graf: 900-115 (.887)
Navratilova: 1442-219 (.868)
Seles: 595-122 (.830)
S. Williams: 398-83 (.827)
Henin:493-107 (.822)
Sharapova: 305-70 (.813)
Goolagong: 704-165 (.810)
V.Williams: 503-119 (.809)
Hingis: 548-133 (.805)
Clijsters: 427-104 (.804)
Davenport: 753-194 (.795)
Austin: 335-90 (.788)
Ivanovic: 206-70 (.746)
Sanchez Vicario: 759-295 (.720)
Mauresmo: 515-209 (.711)
Capriati: 430-176 (.710)
Jankovic: 316-168 (.653)

Over the course of her 20-year career, Evert lost to fewer different players than any of the other former #1s. (That includes newer players such as Sharapova and Ivanovic, who have only lost 70 matches each as a pro.)

1. Guess how many different players Evert lost to in her career.
2. For you old-timers, name as many of Evert's winning opponents as you can.
