About this listen

Christine Marie Evert (born December 21, 1954), born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is an American former professional tennis player. One of the most successful players of all time, she was ranked as the world No. 1 in women's singles by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) for 260 weeks (fourth-most of all time), and finished as the year-end No. 1 five times: 1975 through 1977, 1980, and 1981. Evert won 157 singles titles, including 18 majors (a record seven French Open titles and a joint-record six US Open titles). Alongside Martina Navratilova, her greatest rival, Evert dominated women's tennis from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s. In the following three audio clips from 1971, Evert is interviewed prior to the US Open, by Howard Cosell at the tournament, and then after her return home to Ft. Lauderdale after her loss to Billy Jean King at the Open.
