"Kvert had made mention that her living quarters were somewhat short of her usual accommodations in 5-star hotels featuring 24-hour room service.

Perhaps the novelty of competing for Olympic medals instead of large piles of cash had worn off after several days of enduring a cafeteria line. Chris and Andy shared one of a very basic apartments in Olympic Family Town to be together because spouses weren't permitted in the Athletes' Village. "Evert, seeded No. 2 at Seoul, had a first-round bye, won her next match, then was eliminated in a shocking "upset" to Reggi, 2-6, 6-4, 6-1. Eyebrows were raised when Chris committed 62 unforced errors in the match, or about a month's worth by Evert standards.

"If Chris indeed folded her tent, it would be especially tragic considering she bumped enthusiastic Elise Burgin from the U.S. team by suddenly deciding a few weeks before the Olympics that she wanted to compete in Seoul after all."
