Chris Evert, 18-time Grand Slam winner and devoted mother, has always cherished her family, but nothing has brought her more joy than watching her three sons grow up.

"I love my boys. Yeah, that’s been the highlight of my life," she shared in an interview with We Are Tennis.

Now, Evert has stepped into a new role, being a grandmother to her grandson, Hayden. She admitted that while motherhood was an incredible experience, becoming a grandmother has been even more "fun."

"Everyone kept saying, 'Wait until you have a grandchild.' I thought nothing could top having a child. But having a grandchild is double the fun," she said.

What makes the experience even sweeter for Evert is witnessing her son embrace fatherhood.

"You’re also seeing your son being a father. Your child has become a father. Then I have this little grandson. It’s wonderful," she shared.

As for what Hayden will call her, Evert prefers to let him decide.

"We haven't figured that out yet. I'm going to let him figure it out. We have so many different names, you know: Nana, Gammy, Grandma. Just so many names. I'm, like, I want him to naturally come out with something (laughter)"

Above all, she is determined to be an active and fun grandmother. The 70-year-old has embraced this new chapter with the same energy and passion that defined her legendary career.
