Former American tennis star, Chris Evert, is among the top tennis broadcasters today. The American picked up the microphone after an illustrious career and hasn’t disappointed in her new role as well. Over the years, she has also gained the reputation of being a nice person and a well-behaved lady.

While this earns her great respect in the tennis circuit, the 67-year-old once revealed that she is not always the same. In fact, the legend claims to crack dirty jokes as well. Here’s what she said.

Chris Evert admits she cracked dirty jokes

We all know Evert as a serious person. The former world number is quite popular for her calm and composed nature in tense situations on the court. However, she once revealed that it was not the case off the court. Evert further said that she has a good sense of humor.

Recalling her friend and fellow tennis star, Martina Navratilova’s words, Evert said, “Martina claims I tell the dirtiest jokes around — probably as a semirevolt against my strict Catholic upbringing,” Evert said. “And when I’ve become angry in practice, every four-letter word imaginable has graced these lips.”

Well, that’s definitely not the Evert we all know. However, it will be interesting to see if the 18-time Grand Slam champion cracks some of those jokes publicly.

When Evert disapproved of plastic surgery

Back in 1997, Evert appeared in an interview where she discussed raising her sons and retirement from the game. Evert, who was in her early forties, answered a question about the surgical way to restore beauty. The former world number one said that she will never opt for it. However, she had nothing against it.

Further, speaking about liposuction, she said, “go out and run five miles.”
