Chris & Martina: Beyond Rivalry to Lifelong Friendship

Released on Friday, June 26, 2026, Netflix's documentary "Chris & Martina: The Final Set" chronicles the deep friendship between tennis icons Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova. The film traces their journey from being formidable on-court rivals to becoming enduring friends over several decades.

It revisits their significant dominance in women's tennis during the 1970s and 1980s, a period marked by 80 on-court encounters, including 14 Grand Slam finals. The documentary also touches upon the mutual support they provided each other during their individual battles with cancer.

Beyond their athletic careers, the film sheds light on Evert's personal life, detailing her three marriages. Notably, her early engagement to fellow tennis star Jimmy Connors, which ended before their planned 1974 wedding, is discussed. Later, she married British player John Lloyd in 1979, a marriage that ended in divorce in 1987.

Evert then married downhill skier Andy Mill in 1988, with whom she had three sons: Alexander, Nicholas, and Colton. This marriage concluded in divorce in 2006. Her third marriage was to Australian golf star Greg Norman in 2008, which concluded with a divorce later that same year.

Now 71, Chris Evert largely maintains a private life, occasionally contributing to tennis broadcasting and enjoying her role as a grandmother, with her son Nicholas welcoming a child in 2024.
