More quotes by Chris Evert
Once you've been number one, you can never be satisfied with less.
Chris Evert
A champion hates to lose even more than she loves to win.
Chris Evert
Of all my achievements in tennis, I'm probably as proud of my record on clay courts as any of my Wimbledon, U.S. Open or French singles titles.
Chris Evert
The difference is almost all mental. The top players just hate to lose. I think that's the difference. A champion hates to lose even more than she loves to win.

I've had a lot of fear in my life, from fear of flying to fear of making a speech in front of a lot of people.
Chris Evert
Relationships are give-and-take, and when you're a tennis player, you're certainly not giving. You have to be self-absorbed. It has to be about you.
Chris Evert
Every time, all the time, I'm a perfectionist. I feel I should never lose.
Chris Evert
The great high of winning Wimbledon lasts for about a week. You go down in the record book, but you don't have anything tangible to hold on to. But having a baby -- there isn't any comparison.
Chris Evert
I still have this image: I can't be controversial, I can't say things.
Chris Evert
Being famous before you've formed your personality, before you have that self-esteem, is dangerous.
Chris Evert
I'm not an overly ambitious person I don't feel like I have to excel.
