- Just to clarify a bit, Steffi's streak is 101 tournaments, not matches (she
- has played nearly 500 matches since '85). Until a few days ago Steffi had
- reached the quarterfinals of every tournament she played since Britain's
- Jo Durie knocked her out in the 2nd round of the Brighton tournament in
- Oct. 1985 (Steffi was ~#7 at the time). In those 101 tournaments, Steffi
- lost in only 5 quarterfinals, lost in 11 semifinals, reached 85 finals, &
- won 69 of them. That makes only 32 losses in 7 years. IMHO, an outstanding
- run, to say the least. Looks like Lori really busted a big one.
