John Evert
John Evert is the Founder and Managing Partner of the Evert Tennis Academy. John has developed and managed top junior, collegiate and professional players for over 30 years.
John was raised in a tennis family whose name is synonymous with American Tennis. John’s father, revered tennis coach Jimmy Evert, saw all five of his children compete and win National titles. John’s sister and Evert Tennis Academy co-owner, Chris Evert, continues to be recognized as one of the greatest tennis players and most iconic sports figures of all time.
Chris Evert
Chris “Chrissie” Evert won the first of her 18 Grand Slam titles in 1974 on the way to becoming one of the most decorated female athletes in history. With a game born on the courts of Fort Lauderdale’s Holiday Park and honed by her father, the late Jimmy Evert, she would go on to win at least one Grand Slam title over the next 13 years, piling up 157 Tour titles.
In any tennis discussion, Chris Evert is one of the greatest players of all time. She won 90 percent of her matches (1,209-146), a feat that has never been equaled by any player—male or female. Evert reached the finals in 76 percent of the tournaments in which she played and the semifinals or better in 52 of her 56 Grand Slam singles appearances. She advanced to the semifinals or better in her first 34 Grand Slam tournaments.
