“Chris Evert was known as America’s tennis sweetheart during the tennis boom
in the 70’s and 80’s. She had grace and beauty and was cool, calm, and collected
on court. Her two-handed backhand was flawless and emulated by players
around the world – young and old – who wanted to hit the ball as cleanly,
smoothly and as precisely as Evert. She was also a role model of excellence and
her career is highlighted by record-setting accomplishments as one of the
greatest players of all time. She won six titles at the US Open, two titles at the
Australian Open, three titles at Wimbledon, and an amazing seven titles at the
French Open! During her nearly two decades on tour, Evert was never ranked
lower than No. 4 in the world and ended the year ranked No. 1 seven times
(1974-78, 1980, 1981). She currently oversees her tennis academy in Boca
Raton, Florida named the Evert Tennis Academy. She also serves as a
contributor and publisher of TENNIS Magazine and has been an analyst on
several television networks including ESPN as a commentator for the Grand
Slams.” Please see the full article on the International Tennis Hall of Fame’s
