36 Years After Their First Aspen Adventure, Chris Evert Writes a Four-Word Heartfelt Message to Martina Navratilova

Before the days of Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova, there were two legendary names on the women’s circuit whose fierce and intense rivalry was lauded by the entire tennis community. It was none other than Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova, who often matched strides with each other to clinch almost every available title. However, despite being intense rivals in competitive tennis, the Tennis Hall of Famers forged a great bond of friendship. Now that they have bid adieu to the game, the former tennis players are still supporting each other, as witnessed by their social media posts.

Notably, the 59-time Grand Slam champion received a heartfelt message from her old rival. Navratilova returned to her favorite holiday activity after announcing that she was cancer-free once again.

The former tennis ace is delighted to make a return to one of her favorite locations after announcing that she was cancer-free once again. After undergoing the necessary treatment, Martina Navratilova is finally enjoying some zipline rides and ice-skiing on her “beloved” Aspen Mountain. The Tennis Hall of Famer also shared some glimpses of her snow adventures on her social media.

Evert and Navratilova have a special connection with Aspen, as it has always been their rendezvous point for various occasions. Even when the Ice Maiden was going through an adverse phase due to her divorce from John Lloyd, Navratilova invited her to Aspen, to cheer her up. They did some skiing and other activities together in that “beloved” location.

Notably, the 59-time Grand Slam champion revisited Aspen as she was spotted wearing skiing gear and equipment while enjoying her zipline ride. Her old rival and friend, Chris Evert, showcased her support and admiration by retweeting that picture.

She also added a caption, “So happy for you,” to express her delight over her friend’s return to going on mountain adventures. Even the former ATP star, Andy Roddick, was thrilled to see Navratilova enjoying her favorite activity at her beloved location.

The Tennis Channel recently released a video clip to hail one of the greatest rivalries in the history of the sport. In that tribute post, the Ice Maiden opened up about how their adverse rivalry later blossomed into a great friendship.
