Navratilova could afford a forgiving smile though: last week she erased any doubts (held by Chris Evert Lloyd) about who is the top-ranked player in women's tennis. Winning the Toyota championship in New Jersey, Navratilova defeated Lloyd 4-6, 6-1, 6-2, for the $75,000 purse, season earnings of $1,461,055 and a record for the year of 90 wins...

...compact 5 ft. 5½ in. and 115 Ibs. of muscle and hustle on the tennis court, Chris Evert Lloyd, 27, does have a softer side. Chris happily shucked her court gear when Glamour magazine asked her to play fashion model for its February issue. According to the magazine, the five-time U.S. Open winner favors "good travelers, versatile enough for sudden climate changes." Among the outfits that seemed to fill the bill: a $256 red silk dress by Andre Van Pier and a pair of $175 gold La Marca pumps. "Physically, I'm in better shape than when...
