2. My wife worked in sports TV

And on occasion performed her Chyron operations for tennis tournaments. She knew both of these wonderful players, and ofttimes was invited to casually hit balls with them so they could stay limber during down times. She was full of praise for them, and their character.

3. Thank you so much for sharing that.

I knew Evert and Navratilova were friends, but I had no idea they were such close friends. I knew Evert had battled cancer recently, but I did not know Navratilova had also, at about the same time. It sounds like their lives parallel each other in so many ways, I wonder if they have some kind of past-life connection.

4. THANX for posting

Chris and Martina have both won something more valuable then anything and that is
having each other as friends.

5. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Such a great bond they have forged. Wonderful women. Martina was always who I looked up to even though I never got passed group lessons, which I LOVED, but still she was an inspiration. Going in for some inspiration and a wonderful story.
