Martina and Chrissie: The Greatest Rivalry in the History of Sports

Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert come from completely different places and play tennis in completely different ways. Chrissie is the all-American girl: practiced, poised, with perfect technique. Martina hails from Czechoslovakia, a Communist country, and her game is ruled by emotion. Everything about them is different, except for one thing: they both want to be the best. But as their intense rivalry grows, something else begins to swing into place, and a friendship forms that will outlast all their tennis victories. This biography tells the engaging true story of two masters of the court as they win title after title' and, most importantly, the hearts of the fans.
