For nearly 20 years, tennis great Chris Evert provided fans throughout the world with one guarantee - she gave every match all she had. Evert was ranked number one for seven years and had a 90 percent win average spanning her 17-year career as a pro. She won 18 grand slam titles including three Wimbledon championships, seven French Opens, two Australian Opens, and six U.S. Opens.

Since retiring in 1989, the Hall of Fame tennis player has become active in more than a dozen organizations including the National Committee to Prevent Child Abuse, Save the Children, The American AIDS Association, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. She founded Chris Evert Charities, Inc. which has raised over fifteen million dollars to combat substance abuse and to assist neglected, drug-exposed, and abused children. Active in all aspects of her junior tennis program, Chris founded the Evert Tennis Academy to give something back to junior tennis, and to ensure that the tradition started by her father will continue in South Florida.

Today, Chris Evert remains one of the most prominent female athletes of our time as well as one of the most recognizable women in the nation.
