The amazing Kate Casey.

Welcome back for another episode of Reality Life with KKC, and I have a superb documentary for you this week.

It's called Chris and Martina, The Final Set, and it's on Netflix.

This is about Chris Everett and Martina Navratilova, two women who dominated tennis so completely that for nearly

12 straight years, from 1975 to 1987, one of the two of them held the number one ranking

Her father, Jimmy Everett, was a tennis pro that would coach all of the kids on the public courts.

She grew up Catholic, all-American, composed, so composed that the press gave her the

nickname, the Ice Maiden. She made a professional debut at 16 at the 1971 U.S. Open, and by the mid-70s,

she was the number one player in the world. Her game was defined by precision, consistency,

and what people around her described as this almost

unnerving calm.

She won a record seven French open titles, six U.S. Open titles, and had a career win-loss

percentage in singles that is the best of any professional player, male or female, in history.

She was married three times to British tennis player

John Lloyd, to skier Andy Mill with whom she had three sons, and then briefly to golfer Greg

Norman. She became a tennis commentator for ESPN, a coach, and also the co-owner of the Everett tennis
