Former world number one America’s Chris Evert was left
amused after alternate career paths for ATP Players were suggested in a social
media post.
On a post on social media platform X, previously known as
Twitter, a post appeared where alternate careers for men’s tennis players were
suggested.
The post suggested that the current world number one Serbia’s
legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic can have an alternate career as a Yoga
instructor whereas America’s Ben Shelton can work as a call centre agent.
The post clearly left Evert amused and she expressed her
feelings by posting laughing emoji.
The 68-year-old is often regarded as one of the greatest players
in the history of women’s singles tennis in the Open era, having won as many as
18 Grand Slam titles.
Evert’s most successful competition was the French Open
where she lifted the title seven times.
The Florida-born won her first major title back in 1974 in
Paris where she defeated China’s Olga Morozova in the final in straight sets with
a score of 6-1, 6-2.
Her last major triumph also came while playing at the
Roland Garros in 1986 when she defeated fellow American Martina Navratilova in
the final with a score of 2–6, 6–3, 6–3.

- Why is this article so poorly written, and seeming not proofread?
- Lena ends any "rivalry" talk today
- It's embarrassing how tennis media (especially this rag) refuses to give Doubles their due respect. Considering Siniakova's 11 hours of tennis in 3 days -- then winning the Indian Wells Doubles Title -- one would think an alleged tennis news source would highlight it.
- Yeah, Gilbert's a real expert on "mental" advice.
- Agree or disagree with whatever personal deterrents and/or denials exist in Emma World... one thing no one can argue is... she has wasted her most important period of development in tennis. It's a shame her Nanny(s) never taught her how to work well with others -- including those darn coaches always "telling me what to do".
- Rybakina could have finished that guy off... but he tucked his tail and quit.
- Williams still stealing and wasting some young player's opportunity. Gross injustice.
- She blames the conditions for her loss but her opponent had to play in the same conditions. To me, this means she is belittling the abilities of her opponent. She lost to a player who played better.
- I will talk to her soon. My girl cannot stomach tiebreak losses anymore.
- If WTA cared about the players they would have listened to them 2 seasons ago and NOT manufactured a grueling, demanding schedule. Basically, given WTA's demands and threats, forcing them to perform beyond the human body's normal capacity
