Nobody slapped those winners from the back of the court like Chris Evert. She invented ‘passing’ opponents who hadn’t even come to net. But she also loved a target.
Just by clicking on any of the Match-links below, you can traverse time for a single point of action and see the Queen of the Backcourt hitting lob-volleys, drop-shot winners, two-fisted backhand drives, forehand screamers, and even a few delicate angled volleys up at net.
FACT: Chrissie reached the finals in 76% of 20-year-career tournaments entered, and took home the Trophy in more than half of those she played for!
