Like many other players of her time, Chris Evert has also been very active in terms of giving her unfiltered views and opinions. Having a no-nonsense attitude, the former world no.1 often gives it back to social media users for their unpleasant words. The latest to cross the vision of Evert is a social media user who tried taking a dig at Judy Murray, mother of Andy and Jamie Murray.

Yesterday, the 21st of August, Judy Murray took to her Twitter handle, expressing her views on a transgender athlete topping the women’s pro golf tour. While a majority section of society came out in support of Judy’s statement, that wasn’t the case with the mentioned Twitter user. While he accused Judy of taking the limelight from the Murray brothers, Evert took no time in striking back at him in utmost fashion.

The roots of the banter go back to a report published by a renowned media house. As per the report, Hailey Davidson, 29, became the first transgender women to receive the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) tour card. Sharing the news, Judy wrote, “No. Not fair at all. Protect women’s sport. Listen to the facts, the scientists and the medics. This is wrong.”

Disapproving Judy’s viewpoint, the user wrote, “Shut up for goodness sake. You have always been completely devoid any talent yet you hang on to the coattails of your sons. It’s no wonder you’re hated in the town.”

The legacy of Judy Murray

Judy Murray is rightly counted in the elite list of the greatest tennis coaches of all time, especially in Britain. A former player herself, Judy took up the responsibility of coaching her sons Jamie and Andy Murray. Helping her sons taste success on the professional tour, she headed for the next step of her professional career.
