Seeing these photos in the 80s context makes me realize how much *I don’t* like seeing women dolled up beyond recognition no matter the era. Martina with all that makeup and everything? It’s just not her.
That was wildly entertaining, thank you! I am a fiercely proud child of the 1980s, and I have a vague recollection of these calendars being at my tennis club on Long Island. I will defend to the death the awesomeness of 1980s music, but looking at these godawful fashions we had back then, yeah, I can't defend it at all. Who thought zebra stripes were a good idea???
Ben, this is brilliant. And your descriptions are perfect. The 80s were crazy and we had no idea.
Fantastic, Ben! Thank you!
Great content Ben!

OMG BEN THESE CALENDARS!!!! I have never heard of them. WOW!!
Tennis Watchers Calendar’s could never imagine this level of iconic

With all due respect to your considerable journalistic chops, this is the BEST. BOUNCES. EVER!

Time capsule in calendar form - thank you! Apocalyptic Jana Novotna for the win.
Typo: It's Annabel Croft
"dtour which has attracted weak fields" - detour?
"WITA Player/Members" - WTA?
Thanks! WTA actually went by WITA for a while in the 80s, adding "International" to the acronym.
How much did you pay for these? Also, none of the women will ever speak to you again. :)
Only about $20 for the five!
This is so great!! Really loving the 80’s fashion 😂 the description is amazing
