Interesting. I hadn't heard that part of the story. Of course we all have our own versions of events and Laura is putting it forward how she sees it, but I'm sure there's a big element of truth in there. She doesn't come across as particularly bitter, quite rationale about it really - although obviously you're reading the journalistic version there so they may have smoothed her words.
It would be interesting to see what her birthchart is because I suspect their a fair amount of fire or air in her given that she was an air attendant, and see how that goes with Greg's chart. From reading that article with Laura, it appears that he had the perfect Aquarian lifestyle - married but off touring away from the closeness of the family for 3-4 weeks at a time.
There's an update article with Laura from Oct 2009
here
Interesting twist is that wife #3 has been accused by Laura of having had an affair with Norman back in the 1990s.

Chris Evert's birthchart
here ...
- she has a late Sag sun with mercury nearby.
- She also has Pluto conjunct MH in late Leo (trining the Sun & Mercury).
In 2006-2007 Pluto was in late Sag; in 2007 Saturn in late Leo ... all making changes to her life. And of course those Sag planets thinking the grass is greener.
She also have a stellium of venus, saturn, moon in Scorpio in the 12th house conjunct her Scorpio Ascendent.
Seems to me this has been one dark, obsessive woman the past few years with all that pluto/scorpio energy hanging around!
So that combined with Greg having Neptune energy hitting his sun would have opened him up to be taken for a sucker!
In the end I do think that sportstars have tremendous difficulties in their relationships because as champions they are built to dominate and conquer. There is less room for compassion and empathy particularly in individual events like tennis or golf; but when it comes to marriage it's about getting along, not a power struggle.
