Marvelous reporting and writing about an incredible rivalry and friendship. I loved watching them play and have much respect for both.

I have voiced my opinion on Chris Evert here and the fact she really rubbed me the wrong way calling tennis matches. I have not changed my opinion. Maybe it was because she took Greg Norman for a zillion bucks after they divorced. Just not right. Of course when it comes to women's tennis none will compare to Serena Williams. Jimmy Conners was a jerk.

I think a reasonable case can be made that Martina is the best female tennis player ever and it's impossible to read the Jenkins article and not come away impressed by both Martina and Chris's character.

Jimmy Conners was a jerk. You have Ms Evert confused with another of Norman's wives. The divorce, Norman’s second in just over two years, did not involve an expensive carve-up of assets, with Norman and Evert having signed a pre-nuptial agreement before they married under high-security in the Bahamas on June 28, 2008. Norman’s ex-wife Laura Andrassy received $103 million at the end of a bitter divorce with the former golf number one. But the Palm Beach Post newspaper reported “there was no exchange of money between Norman and Evert” and the two would abide by the pre-nuptial deal, reached just weeks before their marriage, according to AAP.
