Mike Johnston of The Online Photographer, writing—unfortunately—at Patreon:
I was practicing my serve on a back court when Chris Evert came over. I was fifteen and she was three years older. She was pretty and had a slender, girlish body for such a fit and strong tennis player, and she was possessed of a poise and grace unusual even among professional athletes. She, not Connors, was the hot story of the tournament; although Connors was just coming on, Chris had already arrived at the pinnacle she was to occupy for the next fifteen years or more. I quietly sat down on a courtside bench as she took a few serves.
Then she came over to me and said, "want to hit a few?"
This is a fun, non-photography related essay from Johnston, well worth your time.
