Sending positive thoughts, love, and support your way on your special

Evert is regarded as one of the greatest players in the
history of tennis in the women’s singles category in the Open era, having won
as many as 18 titles.
Her most successful competition was the French Open where she
lifted the title seven times (974, 1975, 1979, 1980, 1983, 1985, 1986).
Her first title was the French Open in 1974 when she
defeated Olga Morozova of China in the final in straight sets with a score of
6-0, 6-4. Her last title also came while playing at the Roland Garros in 1986 after
beating fellow American Martina Navratilova in the final with a score of 2–6,
6–3, 6–3.
