If there is one thing that unanimously unites tennis fans all over the world, it’s their love for nostalgia. Be it revisiting remarkable moments on or off-court or digging out some rare document of a significant memory, the internet has given tennis enthusiasts the scope to share their love for the game with the world. In a similarly interesting turn of events, a fan dug up a video of two popular WTA legends who are also rivals.

We’re talking about Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert. While the two were cut-throat competitors on the court, their friendship off-court is just as much a celebration of the spirit of tennis. In the video that was tweeted hours ago, a fond moment between the two legends is captured. The video reached Navratilova, and sure enough, she did not forget to react to it!

Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert “will be friends”

The video posted by @BruceEdmond is a clipping from the 1976 Wimbledon Championship. The duo teamed up and won the slam against Billie Jean King and Betty Stove. The video captures an affectionate moment between the two. Martina takes a sip of her drink and passes it to Evert who drinks her fill. She then hands over the glass to Navratilova.
