Tennis legend Chris Evert set to be honored at US Open with Serving Up Dreams award
WTAFriday, 11 August 2023 at 18:00
Former world number one Chris Evert is set to be awarded the 'Serving Up Dreams' award on the opening day of the US Open.
The 68-year-old is often termed one of the greatest women’s tennis players in the history of the Open era.
To honour her all on the court as well as off the court activities, including charitable work for the USTA (United States Tennis Association), Evert is set to receive an award on the opening day of the fourth Grand Slam of the year which is set to begin in less than three weeks time.
Evert ended her illustrious career in 1989 after winning a whopping 157 titles, including 18 Grand Slams.
Her most successful competition was the French Open where she ended up lifting the title seven times—in 1974, 1975, 1979, 1980, 1983, 1985 and 1986.
Her least-most successful competition was the Australian Open where she ended up winning just twice — in 1982 and 1984.
Evert won three doubles Grand Slams in her career — French Open in 1974, 1975 and Wimbledon in 1976 — as well as she also the tour finals four times.

- Why do you even publish this TwatCaster's PATHETIC stunt for attention? There's plenty of reasons why imbeciles like him are 'talking' and people like Iga Swiatek are 'walking the walk'. Tennisuptodate should be above this tripe.

- As for ITIA -- who, or what entity, oversees this untrustworthy organization?? Too many recent cases of suspensions over tests proving minimal stats at best. Neither Iga nor Simona showed even a hint at prolonged use. Sinner, we don't know because the secrecy was extreme. Now we find ITIA flat-out LIED about speaking directly with the manufacturer of the drug in question associated with Iga. Are we to believe ITIA can be trusted? Not according to the past few years of questionable corporate conduct. ITIA can no longer be trusted to fairly regulate nor investigate itself... so who or what will??mandoist06-12-2024
