Although the picture looked pretty good, Evert had something interesting to say about that picture. In the caption, she wrote, “Ok, I confess I know nothing about filters, but I came across this today, and there MUST be filters because we don’t look this good in real life…⁦@ChrisMcKendry⁩ ⁦@rennaestubbs⁩ ⁦@maevequinlan⁩.”

It seemed like Evert surprised herself with the quality of that picture. Also, all the ladies in this picture looked absolutely stunning, even Evert could not believe it.

Once known as America’s tennis sweetheart, Evert had a tremendous career as a professional tennis player. Evert first came into the spotlight when she beat Margaret Court at the age of 15. After making her professional debut in 1972, she won 1302 matches in her career, the second most number in the world, behind Navratilova (1442). 

Also, she won the most singles titles in history, i.e. 157; Martina is no.1 with 167 titles. The rivalry between Evert and Navratilova was actually one of the greatest rivalries in the history of tennis. Although Martina has a better head-to-head record (43-37) against Evert, she was winning everything against the Czech player at the beginning. Incidentally, both of them won an equal number of Grand Slam titles, i.e. 18.
