ONE ON ONE with CHRIS EVERT

COLETTE EVERT, MOTHER TO CHRIS, WAS TENNIS' MOST EXEMPLARY PARENT

THE MOTHER OF FIVE NAVIGATED THE PARENTAL WATERS WITH SINGULAR GRACE, EXTRAORDINARY ELEGANCE AND UNMATCHED DIGNITY. By Steve Flink November 10, 2020 When the news came my way that Colette Evert had passed away at 92 last Thursday, it hit me awfully hard. She was an extraordinary woman I had known well since 1972, and was the matriarch of a close-knit and strikingly accomplished family of seven, joining forces with her singularly devoted teaching pro husband Jimmy to raise five remarkable children—including their renowned daughter Chris—in Fort Lauderdale, Fla The Everts rank right up there among the greatest tennis families...
