9 straight doubles slams now for Hewitt and Reid

Edit: I know wheelchair is a different discipline, but surely 9 in a row is a record. How many did Martina and Pam win straight?

Looks like 8 - Wimbledon '83 to French Open '85.

Shows you how strong they were. I wish I was around in that era to watch these play, I really like them both off the court

Yes, and 20 overall as a duo. Interestingly - Navratolova won 11 slams partnering other player (this is only in women's doubles, not counting mixed). Shriver won just one w/o Martina. Coincidentally it was with Zvereva, who herself won 18 double slams.

Not sure this was posted before. Just in case thought I'd post, from a day ago basically. This is up from 50% notwithstanding tickets that had been pre-sold (on one of the ESPN broadcasts, Darren said the finals had been 80% pre-sold)

When she drops the snarl and the scowl from the court, she is very pretty.
I wonder if somebody has the smarts to sign her up TONIGHT, for the final. She will be the top American, after all.

She does herself zero favors where sponsors are concerned, she is straight up awful at managing her social media. She should be more amenable, not less, given how she can be on court. I have a very hard time believing she has an experienced agent and manager steering her career because she's awful at marketing herself. I hope she thinks about getting them.

And yes, she's pretty. I've posted several off-court photos of her in the past in the Players thread and most have been surprised that's she's pretty. I kind of think that's even clear on court, a bit of a departure actually. I think it's hard to tell on many others, but not on Danielle.
