John Lloyd believes ex-wife Chris Evert would be lying if wanted Iga Swiatek to break her French Open record

John Lloyd has said that in particular his ex-wife Chris Evert doesn't want her French Open record broken no matter what she says.

Evert has won the clay-court major more than anyone else and can be considered as the Queen of Clay with seven titles to her name.

But finds a young charge creeping up on her in Iga Swiatek albeit only on three but has already equaled the tallies of the likes of Serena Williams and Monica Seles.

She is now only three behind Evert and speaking on Tennis Channel's Inside In podcast, he said that she wouldn't be telling the truth if she wanted it broken as no-one no matter what they say wants their records taken.

"If you hear Chrissie say that she hopes that Iga will break that record, she is not telling the truth. She doesn't want her to break that record, I promise you. She is a lovely lady but no one wants their records broken. They say they do, they're not telling the full truth," Lloyd said.
