chris evert was a magnificent player. When she was 6-0, 5- 0 behind, you could never tell if she was going to lose the match. She could always come back and win and she did so many times. Great memories. Chrissie was great!
My all time favourite, Chrissie Evert… a joy to watch in every single way, her solid determined play, her demeanour on and off court…I’ve been a fan since 1974 and I was so, so lucky to see Chris play on my first ever visit to Wimbledon on number 2 court… that memory will stay with me for ever! ❤
Je compatis. Je me souviens de ce moment. C dommage, il y aurait eu Navratilova en 1/2 pour la beauté de l'histoire. J étais plus âgé que vous mais Chris a bercé ma vie, mes joies mais aussi ma colère et tristesse quand elle perdait 😮. Magnifique Chris ❤
Je me souviens aussi très bien de cette nuit la, ou je regardais le match en donnant le biberon a mon bébé!!!! Chris Evert etait mon idole , c 'est elle qui m a fait aimé le tennis .. elle avait tout , le talent, l humilité, la grace ... Quelle classe cette femme ... toujours élégante sur un court de tennis ou dans la vie. Je l admire toujours et la soutient dans les moments difficiles qu'elle traverse.

@@martinemarchand6415 c'est elle aussi qui m'a fait découvrir et aimer le tennis. C était Roland Garros 1981, un 1/4 face à Ruzici, gagné.

@@MultiErick92 moi c est en 1979 que je l ai découverte par hasard devant ma télé a RG, je me suis alors a m intéresser au tennis.

One of the biggest moments in tennis, the end of a stunning career, and both players simply shake hands at the net, shake the umpire's hand, and sit to collect their things. A quick wave to say goodbye to the fans, and done. SOOOOO different from today's tennis, when every freaking player has to wave and blow kisses to the crowd, even when they win 1 and 1 in the first round. No such grandstanding back then.
Chris , very emotional at the start of the last game knew this game was the last one. Tennis is an mental game and being down 5-2 feels like a huge mountain to climb when it is really a ten minute gap.she had come back countless times from 5-2 down in her career but the effort for Chris to play one of her top 3 career matches in the round before against Seles tapped out her competitive fires and I was so happy for her to have the choice to walk away when it became hard to want to compete. Chris didn’t win the fast easy way with powerful serve or volley, she needed to grind out long points and be consistent- relying on her mental game to win. An absolute class act. A true daughter of a Notre Dame Alumni . She’s been a idol of mine my whole life. I couldn’t have picked a better example.
An incredible career. On the day she retired, she was still ranked # 4 in the world, and having entered 56 majors over a 19 year span, she reached her 54th quarterfinal. That's over 96% of those majors she entered. Nobody will ever anything like that statistic. Not Court, not Navratilova, not Graf, not Serena. She changed the look of the sport and changed the way we see women who choose to be athletes. .
Bturner1961, stop being ridiculous!!! Martina Navratilova changed the women's game forever not Chris Evert and no player could or will beat Martina's incredible records!!!. 167 MAJOR SINGLES TITLES AND 177 MAJOR DOUBLES TITLES AND A WORLD RECORD 9 SINGLES TITLES at Wimbledon!!!. I'll give you one thing though, their rivalry was the biggest in Sport never mind tennis!!!. They brought women's tennis to the masses with some incredible matches and both will go down in tennis history but Martina is the GOAT without question!!!.
@@TheDiana1 I was not comparing the two. we will now find out if you are a troll or not. They both have records that will never be broken, They both changed the women's game, but they did it differently. One dominated the grass slams of her era, the other the clay slams of her era. One acrued the longevity records, the other the consistency records. A lot depends on what you prioritize, what you look for in a champion. Is consistency in performance more or less important than peak play? and how much importance do you put on those slams as opposed to the other tour events or national/ team play. And what do you do with doubles and mixed? If you talk about them together, the GOAT debate is between Court and Navratilova, and nobody else need apply. If we are talking singles slam only, Martina's got some problems and Evert, Serena and Graf soar upwards.
@@BTURNER1961 Evert did NOT change the game Martina did!!!. She bade every other to take notice of their fitness. Just listen to ANY videos of Chris and other players Chris herself said many times that the 2 women who changed women's tennis were Billie Jean King said Martina!!!. Just because Chris won 7 French Opens doesn't mean she changed women's tennis!!!. To find the GOAT you need to look their whole careers, every player and Martina's achievements are head and shoulders above every other female player and even most male players, that's a FACT!!!. Plus what Martina went through from the moment she arrived in the States, no other female would have survived that or would have won as much as Martina did and for so long that's why Martina is the GOAT!!!.
@@TheDiana1 Yep you are not a serious poster, you are trolling for attention. That's why you are on this specific youtube video, looking for someone to entertain you.
@@BTURNER1961 The 54 quarters are impressive, but what is more impressive is that she only lost two of those quarters and reached the semis or better 52 times. Can you imagine any modern player, male or female, reaching the semis or better 52 of 56 attempts? You can carve that record in stone....it's done. And as far as the ranking... she retired at number 4 and was never ranked lower than 4 for her entire career, which is astounding. That's another record which is over. Zero chance of that ever being broken.
Chris Evert is one of the all time greats. Shes one of my favourite players . You'd think Martina beat her a lot . She did as Navratilova was physically stronger but Chrssie had her fair share of wins against her including at french opens. They both won 18 grand Slams. Court, Graf and Serena won more The five of them were the most successful in woman's tennis and legends and icons.
Sad day for those of us who adored this great champion, watching her compete at such a high level for so long, was a testament to her mental toughness 👍
I loved watching Chris Evert. Professional to her fingertips, and so magnificently stylish too. A pity that the commentary ("heart attack"...?) is so mediocre...

Still brings me to tears.

My alltime favourite female player ever!! Chrissie was so classy and elegant! A true lady with so much grace❤❤❤
She was the poster for Women's tennis! My GOAT
Absolute class from both players, at a moment of high emotion.
You see it all the time

I was a great Evert fan and was very disappointed she lost but Zina played superb tennis and totally deserved this victory ❤
Classy move by Zina Garrison letting Chris have her moment! Love it!
When I was young, Chris Evert and Jimmy Connors and Billie Jean King were TENNIS. Chris was the classiest player of all the champions.
An incredible career. On the day she retired, she was still ranked # 4 in the world, and having entered 56 majors over a 19 year span, she reached her 54th quarterfinal.

Her appearance, her style, her foot-step her smile, her sadness...all lovely and relax.,
Sad day for those of us who adored this great champion, watching her compete at such a high level for so long, was a testament to her mental toughness 👍
Always a class act!
What a champion she was. So elegant, so respectful ! I love it when Zina is embracing her. Not sure you would see that nowadays
Sure you would. And I have.
America's sweetheart 😘😘😘
Great respect Chris 🙏 and fan from Denmark ♥️
She's so beautiful ,here she looks sad .but i still love her
man, it's such a difference game to the power/speed game of today.
Tennis before was like treating training session comparing with now
Une femme qui ressemblait à une femme ❤
C’était vraiment la grande classe 🙏
Class act
Emotional moments indeed. i wish to see Marina as opponent
martina?
At first, I thought the video was in slow motion. How times have changed. Women's tennis is played so much faster now.
I loved watching Chris Evert. Professional to her fingertips, and so magnificently stylish too.
A pity that the commentary ("heart attack"...?) is so mediocre...
Donald Trump at 3:32??
Yaa!
Crying here
Chris was likely to meet Martina in the semi finals. I wonder if she was subconsciously thinking..let's quietly end this here vs. Zina.
And it hurt. Right up to the last Evert wanted to Win. Controlled playing. Not rushing or overly aggressive. And DIGNIFIED, ALWAYS DIGNIFIED.
Wait a minute ! Zina is foot faulting nearly every point ! Can we go back and replay this match?
is that The Donald at 0.03?? He's like a rash
back in the late 70s I remember fancying the Snickers off her....
It’s crazy since didn’t even make the 1990s
Whoa, ladies. Slow down, will you?
And a future President sitting next to Andy Mill !
At first I was like.. is that Serena? Totally wrong era 😀
Wow, did anyone catch the shot of Donald Trump sitting next to, and talking with Andy Mills???
Yep..did a double take and had to stop the vid..in the crowd at 5.46 ..in the jail at 2023 😁😁😁😁
@@martinlee8907 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😅
why is that plane forever in the back ground
Because the tennis courts are right under the flight path because they are almost next to the airport.
I can’t help but think that Donald Trump thought all the applause was for him! Lol
another TDS sufferer I see.
😂😂😂
Disappointing match by Chris. She was just mentally done by that point.
Wow, Donald Trump at 5:46.
34 years later we miss a queen as she was.. And she is till now..
This looks like 3.5 players
was that donald trumph in the aduiance

Yes, but she has been clear that he is no friend of hers.
