Accomplishing great long-term extraordinary and unique achievements in your initial profession will no doubt one day make you a legend.
As special as that is, over time, legends tend to fade away from the public’s eye and mind until there is time for a reunion, celebration or their record is broken.
Carving out a new career that makes you a legend in another profession is rarely done.
Chris Evert has done both. That is amazing.
Today, most tennis fans probably remember her more for her insightful and stellar announcing, especially at the Grand Slams, than they do watching her remarkable tennis career.
We’ve really enjoyed that aspect of her career for decades.
Chris Evert (born December 21, 1954), is an American former world No. 1 tennis player.

She won 18 Grand Slam singles championships and three doubles titles. Overall, Evert won 157 singles titles and 32 doubles titles.
Ms. Evert reached 34 Grand Slam singles finals, more than any other player in the history of professional tennis.
That alone is what, in part, brands you a legend.
She holds the record of most consecutive years (13) of winning at least one Major title.
In singles, she reached the semifinals or better in 52 of the 56 Grand Slams she played, including the semifinals or better of 34 consecutive Grand Slams entered from the 1971 US Open through the 1983 French Open.
Chris never lost in the first or second round of a Grand Slam singles tournament and lost in the third round only twice. In Grand Slam women's singles play, Evert won a record seven titles at the French Open and a co-record six championships at the US Open (tied with Serena Williams).
Yes, you may now stand and applaud.
Please keep standing.
And applauding.
Our luminary served as president of the Women's Tennis Association for eleven calendar years, 1975–76 and 1983–91. She was awarded the Philippe Chatrier award and inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Ms. Evert is currently an analyst for ESPN, and has a line of tennis and active apparel.
She was voted the Associated Press Female Athlete of the Year on four occasions and was the first female athlete to be Sports Illustrated magazine's sole recipient of "Sportswoman of the Year" award in 1976.
In April of 1985, she was voted the "Greatest Woman Athlete of the Last 25 Years" by the Women's Sports Foundation.
Always a warm and inviting personality, we would love to travel to her home website for more insights on this incredible larger than life woman. You should too.
At chrisevert.net her team shares, “This website is a very comprehensive resource on my playing career, with complete statistics, full match results, vintage articles, photos and videos, and plenty of fun ‘fan-site’ features to explore.
I invite you to join me as I continue my journey as a TV commentator, tennis academy owner, magazine publisher, charity event host of 30 years, and mother of three. You can check on all my social media activity through the links on this page. Welcome!”
We appreciate that.
What contributed to her exceptional precise execution on the tennis courts?
Her team adds, “Her extreme ability to isolate each individual point helped build a very tough killer instinct. Chris once distilled the ‘killer instinct’ to its basic roots, defining it simply as “feeling that, at that moment, there is nothing in the world more important than winning the next point.”
Understood.
Now, you won’t believe this but, one of the hardest working and busiest legends in women’s tennis just got busier.

TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Chris Evert has joined forces with Regener-Eyes to spread awareness of their first-in-class biologic eye drop. Regener-Eyes is an ophthalmic solution that aids in supporting eye lubrication for people experiencing eye discomfort or irritation. Evert views her partnership with Regener-Eyes as an opportunity to help athletes of all ages understand the benefits of this ophthalmic solution.
"I'm very excited to join the Regener-Eyes team," said Evert. "I appreciate the power of community and the ability to bring an ophthalmic solution that so many people within my audience may find useful and life enhancing."
Discomfort and eye irritation can be common for athletes. Regener-Eyes provides the ease they need to continue to practice and play the sports they love. "Partnering with the world's former No. 1 tennis player made complete sense for Regener-Eyes, as she has a captive audience of athletes and baby boomers that understand the need for lubrication and comfort for the eyes, while practicing a sport," said Heidi Hart Pukas, Sr. Vice President of Marketing and Corporate Communications.
Founder and CEO C. Randall Harrell, M.D., researched dry eye disease (DED) caused by meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) after watching his mother suffer from Mixed Connective Tissue Disease for years. Realizing how common dry eye disease is—340 million people worldwide suffer from dry eyes—he decided to study a newer generation of medicine: regenerative medicine.
"We're excited to have Chris Evert as a part of our outreach efforts," said Harrell. "Her audience of athletes and baby boomers are suffering. Our product, backed by extensive regenerative medical research, may help. Unlike other eye drops, Regener-Eyes is a biologic made from proteins, for which it doesn't cause an adverse reaction as it works to lubricate while helping to improve overall eye health."
About Regener-Eyes: Regener-Eyes® is a first in class, natural, biologic ophthalmic solution that is preservative free. Regener-Eyes has been used safely in over one million treatments.
