Why has there been such a revolving door? Chris Evert has some thoughts about various elements that, as she put it ahead of Saturday's final, "make it difficult to feel completely secure and confident on this elusive surface."

For one, there's the amount of talent in the game — "deeper now than ever," said Evert, a Hall of Famer who won three of her 18 Grand Slam titles at Wimbledon in the 1970s and 1980s and was the runner-up six times during an era when Martina Navratilova won a record nine singles championships there.

Plus, Evert noted, there's a short turnaround after the red clay of the French Open, leaving only two to three weeks to practice and prepare for what she called a "polar opposite" surface. Another contributing factor are the uneven bounces and other adjustments required on grass.
