I. Read the following passage and decide if the sentences below are True (T) or False (F).
Chris Evert
Chris Evert is one of the greatest tennis players of all time. She was bom in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 1954. The weather in Florida is suitable for outdoor sports, so Evert was able to practice her tennis all year long. She learned a lot from her father who was a professional tennis coach. At age sixteen, Evert played in her first US Open (United States Open Tennis Championships). She did not win that year, but she eventually won the US Open six times.
Evert achieved her first major victories in 1974 when she won the women’s championship in two of the world’s four most important tournaments: Wimbledon and the French Open. In 1986, she set a world record by winning the women’s French Open for the seventh time. Over the next five years, she defeated 125 opponents. She became famous not only for her many victories but also for her intense concentration while playing. In addition, she was one of the first players to hit a powerful two-handed backhand. This has now become a common technique.
Today, Evert is retired but often appears on television as a commentator for major tournaments. She will always be remembered for her achievements and influence on the game of tennis.
