Origin
and identity

Chris Evert turned baseline accuracy and exceptional concentration into one of the most consistently successful careers in tennis.

Evert's two-handed backhand became a model for generations. Her calm appearance concealed relentless competitiveness, particularly on clay, where patience and placement made long rallies feel firmly under her control.

Her rivalry with Martina Navratilova gave the sport a compelling contrast of methods. Evert's eighteen major singles trophies were spread across a long competitive life, with at least one major title in thirteen consecutive seasons.
