Chris Evert has picked the match against Martina Navratilova which she considers to be her most memorable win of all time

Chris Evert has named her most memorable victory against her great friend and former tennis rival Martina Navratilova.

The pair are recognised by the sporting world as two of the greatest players to step foot on a tennis court.

The icons have 36 singles Grand Slam titles between them in addition to the two doubles titles they won together at the French Open in 1975 and the 1976 Wimbledon Championships.

They engaged in one of the most enthralling head-to-head rivalries in tennis history, and created plenty of history along the way.

Chris Evert picks her most memorable victory against Martina Navratilova

Chris Evert produced a spectacular 17-year tennis career with plenty of accomplishments that most players could only dream of.

That being said, Evert would have won more had it not been for Martina Navratilova, who broke records in her own spectator career.

During their head-to-head rivalry Navratilova defeated Evert in 13 successive matches at Grand Slams.

After beating her compatriot to win the 1982 Australian Open, Evert did not defeat her again at the majors until the 1985 French Open final, where she won her sixth title at the clay-court Grand Slam.

This 6-3, 6-7(4), 7-5 victory is in Evert’s mind her most memorable victory over Navratilova during their 15-year rivalry that featured 80 matches.
