A fascinating dual biography of tennis greats Martina Navratilova and
Chris Evert celebrates the power of equality, respect, and
sportsmanship.
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 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. Phil Bildner and Brett Helquist tell the
engaging true story of these two masters of the court as they win title
after title -- and, most importantly, the hearts of the fans.
