Chris Evert vs Martina Navratilova

Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova, two of the greatest tennis players of all time, are regarded as one of the most intense rivalries in tennis history and all sports. Between 1973 and 1988, the two played 80 matches, 60 of which were finals. Navratilova had an overall head-to-head advantage of 43-37 and 36-24 in the finals.

Evert and Navratilova typically competed on the fastest courts (grass and inside), and it was on these surfaces that Navratilova's offensive serve-and-volley style of play prevailed over Evert's counterattacking baseline approach.

In three-set victories, Evert had a 15-14 head-to-head edge, whereas Navratilova had a 29-22 advantage in straight-set victories.
