Chris Evert
Chrissie, 18 major titles and a 90 percent career winning record
Overview
Evert won 157 singles titles and lost barely 10 percent of more than 1,300 matches, the most consistent career in tennis history. She took 18 majors, seven of them at Roland Garros, and reached at least the semifinals of 34 straight majors she entered. Her two handed backhand and ice cool temperament set the standard for baseline tennis.
