Chris Evert is one of the most famous tennis personalities in the world today. Even after her retirement, she has kept herself connected to the game. The 67-year-old works as a tennis expert and commentator.

Being a legend of the game, the American has earned a lot of respect. Apart from that, fans and everyone else in the tennis circuit like her for her behavior. Although she claims that the good girl tag has at times, annoyed her.

Evert doesn’t like the good girl tag

The 65-year-old claimed in an interview that she doesn’t like carrying the clean image she has got. Also, she pointed out that, unlike the belief, she is pretty normal and has done some bad things too.

“I know I’m no angel. I’m not as goody-two-shoes as people think, I’m a normal woman. I’ve dated a lot of guys, I’ve had a few drinks. I’ve told dirty jokes, I’ve cursed, I’ve been rude to my parents. There’s nothing in my life, no skeletons in my closet that people should be so shocked about. But I’ve lived a normal life,” she said.
