The Rivals: Chris Evert vs. Martina Navratilova… par Johnette Howard
More biographical than I expected--in a good way. It really put both players in historical context, on the court and off. Their rivalry is amazing and inspiring. I remember reading in a book by Mariah Burton Nelson, how one of the definitions of "compete" is "to strive together." Howard describes beautifully how this rivalry exemplifies that definition. My only wish for this book is that it covered both careers in more detail after 1988...but the book focuses on the rivalry, which basically ended in 1988.

A well written account of the rivalry and friendship between these giants of 70s/80s tennis.

The author has some interesting and quite shocking things to say about male attitudes towards the early Open era women's tennis tour as well.
