‘My Serving Pose Looks Like Yours’- Chris Evert Joins Martina Navratilova in Poking Fun at PBS Over Their New Tennis Effort
Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova are a dynamic duo, never beating around the bush in their playful mockery and directness. Their rivalry on the court was fierce but now that they’re retired, the duo never passes up an opportunity to joke together, on or off the court. Recently, Evert and Navratilova made lighthearted fun of PBS’s new documentary series, Gods of Tennis, which consists of three parts and features tennis legends of all time.
TV Tango shared a poster of the new docuseries with the caption, “Watch tonight @PBS 9pm U.S. Premiere Three-Part Documentary Series #GodsOfTennis Featuring @BillieJeanKing @ChrissieEvert @Martina @JohnMcEnroe @JimmyConnors #BjornBorg #ArthurAshe Narrated by @davemorrissey64.”
Navratilova humorously pointed out the glaring mistake in her likeness, writing, “Hope the show is better than this promo photo as they have Chris playing left-handed and me playing right-handed.” Evert quickly joined in, replying to her old foe, “Omg, that is not good… my serving pose looks like yours! Yikes!”

Their playful exchange highlights their sharp wit and the close camaraderie they share, much to the amusement of their fans. Just a few days ago, international guests flocked to the Tennis Hall of Fame celebration, but Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova were the main attractions.
Along with that, the 67-year-old tennis player posted a selfie from Newport on Twitter along with a heartfelt note for her former opponent, who is now her best friend. Posting a picture on Twitter, Navratilova wrote, “And the only selfie I took while there @ChrissieEvert – looking fine :)”
In addition to capturing an intimate moment from the Tennis Hall of Fame ceremony, the post emphasized the close relationship and mutual respect between the two tennis icons. Martina Navratilova made sure to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Chris Evert’s maiden Wimbledon victory on July 12, 1974, in her own special way earlier this year.
Celebrating the moment, the 59-time Grand Slam champion, made sure that tennis fans had a peek at the amicable relationship between the two icons in addition to this momentous milestone.
Martina Navratilova makes the “dirtiest” revelation about Chris Evert
Navratilova openly admitted earlier this year that “she has a glass of wine, she’s a different person,” adding that she can still recall “the dirtiest jokes” that “Nobody knows.” Despite their strong friendship, the competitive spirit between them remains vibrant.
Evert, never one to back down, decided to give Navratilova a taste of her own medicine by opening up about Navratilova’s early days. The two erstwhile opponents have gotten closer over the years, becoming unwavering friends who encourage one another through good times and bad. Their deep relationship is reflected in their lasting link and mutual respect, which shows that genuine friendship can thrive even in the face of intense rivalry.
