Chris Evert is a legend of the game having collecting 18 Grand Slam singles titles in a career lasting nearly two decades, during which time, she was never ranked lower than No. 4 in the world and ended the year ranked No. 1 seven times (1974-78, 1980, 1981).

In a record-breaking career, Evert became the first player, male or female, to win 1,000 singles matches; won at least one major singles title a record 13 years in a row; captured the second-most singles titles in history (157) and Evert won a record seven Roland-Garros crowns (surpassed by Rafael Nadal).  
  
She retired from professional tennis in 1989 and became a television commentator and was unanimously inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1995.  
  
Chris Evert first worked with Eurosport at Roland-Garros in 2015.
