Virginia Wade v Julie Heldman: stats compared | Lineball
Wade wins on titles. Heldman’s case rests on games lost, but it isn’t enough to swing it. WTA Tour career: Wade 1,278 matches, Heldman 570 matches.
Wade has 60 titles (one every 16.7 matches) to Heldman’s 20 titles (one every 25 matches).
Heldman averages 8.3 games lost a match to Wade’s 8.8.
Longevity: Wade has 1,278 matches across 18 seasons, Heldman 570 in 8 — the averages matter more than the totals here.
Not every stat was recorded for every match (grand slam titles, masters/1000 matches, tour finals matches…): those averages use only the games that logged them.
