    This selection was one of The Post's most read stories this year. It's titled: Bitter rivals. Beloved friends. Survivors. 


    Tennis legends Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova became friends as teenagers but then split apart as each rose to No. 1 in the world. But they grew back together as they forged one of the greatest rivalries in sports and embarked on ambitious lives in retirement. After 50 years, they understood each other like no one else could. So when cancer came, they turned to each other.


    It's by sports columnist Sally Jenkins, who gives an introduction of how she came to write it. It's read by Adrienne Walker for Noa: News Over Audio, an app offering curated audio articles.
