Legends: Perfect rivalry
Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova were ice and fire. As two of the greatest rivals in 20th century sport, they goaded each other to greatness but still stayed friends. They played together 80 times. Navratilova was the Queen of Wimbledon, Evert the champion on clay. For 12 years in a row, one or the other was ranked world number one. They tied with 18 Grand Slam titles each. Evert and Navratilova met in 60 finals. For sheer longevity, their rivalry eclipsed Sampras vs Agassi, McEnroe vs Borg.
