Evert's singles winning percentage of 89.97% is the highest among both men and women. And her rivalry with Martina Navratilova is one of the greatest rivalries in professional tennis history.

Evert is widely considered to be the most dominant claycourt player in the women's game with 7 French Open crowns and a clay-court win percentage of 94.55%. She won an astoundingly impressive 157 singles titles in her career.

Post-retirement she has had two stints as President of the WTA, and is presently serving as a tennis analyst for ESPN.
