Chris Evert - Oral History

Following Catherine’s interview with Chris Evert, we take the chance to tell the story of the 18-time Grand Slam champion in full. We discuss her most extraordinary records and achievements, consider her influence and legacy in the sport, ponder the reasons why she might be under-appreciated, reflect on her comments about the struggle of developing as a person while playing professional tennis, and look at the way she uses her platform for good. The Tennis Podcast is presented by Catherine Whitaker and David Law, featuring Matt Roberts. It is produced weekly year-round, and daily during the Grand Slam tournaments. It is crowdfunded by listeners each December.   * CHRIS EVERT INTERVIEW * Catherine’s interview with Chris Evert is available here. * NEWSLETTER * Sign up to get our news, isolation diaries and Matt’s Stat - http://eepurl.com/gbmzRX * TENNIS RE-LIVED * We have produced daily shows throughout the original Roland Garros dates, looking back on 15 classic matches and stories from the tournament’s history.
