based on this excerpt, evert would probably win a match with navratilova on a court that
a favored lefties rather than right - handed players.
b offered an advantage to \serve and volley\ players.
c had a grass surface, such as wimbledon.
d played to the strength of everts baseline game.
evert was known for her baseline game, and she avoided the net in favor of sharp ground strokes. she was superior to navratilova on the courts that favored her game, such as the clay courts used by the u.s. and french open tournaments.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The excerpt doesn't mention left - handed vs right - handed advantage, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: Evert avoided the net and favored ground strokes, while "serve and volley" is the opposite of her game, so B is incorrect.
• Option C: Wimbledon has a grass surface, and the excerpt says Evert was superior on clay courts (like US and French Open), not grass, so C is incorrect.
• Option D: The excerpt states Evert was known for her baseline game and was superior on courts that favored her game. So a court that plays to her baseline game strength would make her likely to win, so D is correct.

Answer:

D. played to the strength of Evert's baseline game.
