In the glitzy world of professional tennis, where stars like Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, and Novak Djokovic shine brilliantly, it’s easy to get caught up in their amazing records and superstar status. These tennis giants have made the world sit up and take notice with their incredible skills.

But amidst all the fanfare and attention they receive, there’s a fascinating story about a tennis legend who may not have made as much noise but was every bit as incredible: the tennis legend Chris Evert. In the time where Nadal, Federer, and Djokovic seem invincible, Chris Evert’s story is a captivating tale that’s worth exploring.

Chris Evert’s overshadowed tennis legacy

The three giants have dominated the sport for nearly twenty years – Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, and Novak Djokovic. Their numbers are nothing short of mind-boggling: they’ve won more than four out of five major tournaments since 2004, held the top ranking for most of the past two decades, and collectively claimed nearly 300 titles.

A tennis page posted an update about it. The post read, “Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic have won 82.5% of all Major events played since July 2004. They have been occupying the World #1 spot for 909 out of the last 1002 weeks. That’s 17 AND A HALF YEARS! Together they have won 291 ATP Tour titles. They have finished Year End #1 for 18 of the last 19 years. At least one has reached the semi-finals of 76 of the last 78 Majors.”

However, in the midst of these impressive tennis stars, a comparison made by respected sports writer Sally Jenkins highlights the incredible skills of another tennis legend, Chris Evert. Jenkins smartly pointed out in a tweet that Evert won more than 90% of her matches, which is quite extraordinary considering she faced tough opponents like Navratilova, King, Goolagong, and Court.
