Priyanka Maji: An Inspirational Story Passion is a very overlooked quality. Working on your craft for days and days with blinders on requires a very superior amount of dedication. Priyanka paints a clear picture of how important passion can be. She works a 9 hour shift at Dominos from noon to 10 at night. Prior to that, she puts in 3 hours of serious practice in hopes of mastering her sport; all this at the age of 22. She began rifle shooting four years ago with the NCC in Asansol, West Bengal. She received several accolades including a Bronze medal in her first All India NCC Inter Directorate Shooting Championship. While everything was going well she was challenged with a major obstacle. The thing about these obstacles is that they have the rightful authority to make or break a person. In Priyanka's case, the obstacle not only made sure she came back stronger but also made her a very mature young adult. A young adult who has a mind open enough to dream big and a heart strong enough to work all out to achieve that dream. She is a rare concoction of the dreamers and the hard workers. Coming back to the obstacle; she could no longer practice shooting with NCC. Seeking a solution, Priyanka joined a private Shooting Club; however, the club had no Shooting Equipment and Rifle to support her. She didn't give up though! With the support of her family, Priyanka decided to join the Gun for Glory (GFG) Shooting Academy, Pune: A decision that changed her life forever. To support her dream of shooting, Priyanka started working at Domino's. It might not sound like much, but at her age, children are still testing their luck with the world. On the other hand, Priyanka has a goal in her mind and is willing to do anything to achieve this goal. When you are as focused as her, distractions rarely disrupt your routine. At GFG, Priyanka's score has been steadily rising and she expects a Gold medal at the next National Competition. What's more? She doesn't have to worry about a weapon or a good coach anymore!
Gunning for gloryGagan Narang Sports Promotion Foundation's new Academy aims to train the shooting champions of the futureShooting has been a major medal winning sport at the Summer Olympics for India. Ever since the silver medal haul of Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore in the Athens Olympics in 2004, Indian shooters have consistently brought laurels to the country. In 2008, it was Abhinav Bindra's gold that made the nation sit up and watch the growing prowess of our shooters. In the London Olympics of 2012, Vijay Kumar Sharma claimed a silver and Gagan Narang bagged a bronze. True, our shooters returned empty handed from Rio Olympics last year, but there is no denying the fact that the shooters would go all out on a medal hunt in the 2020 Olympics scheduled to be held in Tokyo.Providing impetus to that effort is Gagan Narang Sports Promotion Foundation (GNSPF) which has opened the Gun For Glory Shooting Academy (GFG) in 17 centres across the country. The latest addition is the Bengaluru unit of the GFG located at VeloCT, off Sarjapur Road. VeloCT is a multi-sports development centre by SportsVilla Ventures Pvt Ltd.According to Narang and VeloCT, the objective of the Academy is to create awareness on shooting in the city and state, and thus unearth young talent to groom them to national and international levels.Narang is quite optimistic about the success of the Bengaluru Centre. "I wish to reach out to talented kids and nurture them to become world champions by providing them the right guidance at the right time with the right equipment, " says the Olympian.The training programme at GFG will be monitored by senior coaches from Pune headquarters, who are certified by the International Shooting Sports Federation (ISSF). Narang himself will visit the centre to check on the progress of the trainees. The Academy has the capacity to train 14 wards at a time. There is a resident ISSF certified coach and as the number of trainees increases, more coaches will be hired for the centre.There is no selection process for the beginner level and all shooting enthusiasts can enrol in the programme. The minimum age for enrolment is 11 years.GFG's Bengaluru unit has been set up in VeloCT's state-of-the-art complex with 14 shooting lanes for 10 metre air rifle and air pistol practice and possesses latest training equipment.Piyush Sarode, one of the founder of VeloCT says "We are privileged to be associated with GFG, which has been doing good work at the grass root level. Our aim is to bring shooters, shooting fans and the public on the same stage. With GFG, we hope to create world class champions."It is not just shooting that enjoys pre-eminence at VeloCT, other major sports are also provided with the best of facilities. Currently, it has a football turf and a cricket pitch operational. Football has a FIFA two-star-certified artificial pitch and is suitable for a seven-a-side game and the arena is floodlit. VeloCT also has an exclusive tie-up with the English Premier League Club, Arsenal's soccer schools for training. In the near future, VeloCT plans to add an indoor heated semi-Olympic sized swimming pool, basketball and volleyball courts, besides a fitness centre.The training programme at Gun For Glory Shooting Academy will be monitored by senior coaches from Pune headquarters
There are other good things happening on ground, too. The Gagan Narang Foundation's grassroots programme 'Gun For Glory' has made the sport available to more aspirants across the country. One of its discoveries Elavenil Valarivan, 19, represented India in the Asian Games, finishing 14th with a total of 620.8 points in the qualification.Gun For Glory' helps erase the popular misconception that shooting is not an easily affordable sport and is elitist. The perception has its roots in India's rich tradition of shotgun shooting, dating back to royalty like Dr Karni Singh and Raja Randhir Singh. The entry of shooters from more humble backgrounds confirms that many families are ready to back their children in such sport.


Last year, Colin Bradford and I provided recommendations on global development cooperation to help our incoming president refashion the American image to the world while also strengthening U.S. and international security. The Obama administration's mixed track record on seizing global development leadership opportunities merits a mediocre grade for 2009. However, several late-breaking developments and ongoing efforts could help the administration improve this grade in 2010.
Undoubtedly, the Obama administration has had to manage an overabundance of domestic and international challenges while parrying profuse expectations. But without question, the effectiveness of our global development efforts must be fundamentally improved. Doing so will address American values and interests by reducing global poverty, supporting the emergence of more capable partners and mitigating transnational threats.
Notable highlights in 2009: President Obama secured the prominence of the G-20, ensuring a greater voice for rising economies; launched a global food security initiative backed by significant new U.S. commitments to agricultural development; bolstered emerging markets through increased, crisis-induced IMF funding; dedicated the government to broadening global health assistance efforts; and demonstrated leadership by pledging to mobilize a substantive (if amorphous) annual assistance commitment to address developing countries' climate change needs.
The administration also put forth strong budget requests, building on a Bush-era program of staff expansion to address years of neglect at the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). President Obama bolstered these efforts and U.S. commitment to global development through overseas visits and speeches—in Egypt, in Ghana, at his Nobel Prize acceptance speech—as has Secretary of State Clinton (see her recent speech).
Such commitments and the new thrust of American leadership toward international cooperation have indeed been praiseworthy efforts. However, on the specifics of reforming development policies and operations, the administration was detrimentally sluggish in 2009.
The administration came in with the intent to "elevate, streamline and empower a 21st century development agency" that would consolidate the global AIDS program, Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), and many others into a restructured USAID. The incoming team was well-versed on the urgent need for fundamental change given the bureaucratic fragmentation and incoherence rife within our aid apparatus. A year later, however, essential reforms are still floating ideas.
Dr. Rajiv Shah was just confirmed in the waning days of 2009 and sworn-in as USAID Administrator yesterday. He is dynamic, with notable relevant management credentials, and is highly regarded by those who know him. His experiences at the Gates Foundation ensure keen familiarity with the innovative new ecosystem of global development actors that must be factored into reforms.
But, major issues still hang in the balance: Will Shah preside over an agency without agency? Will USAID once again have a strong role in determining and designing its budget? Will policy and strategic planning capacity be restored and improved, a move actively endorsed by pending bipartisan Senate legislation? These ideas on budget and policy planning were supported by Shah at his confirmation hearing, but the proof is in the pudding.
Further, will Shah explicitly have a seat at the table for relevant National Security Council (NSC) and National Economic Council (NEC) deliberations? What is the relationship between USAID, the MCC, the global AIDS program and others? And what now happens to the Director of Foreign Assistance position established at State under the Bush Administration?
Secretary Clinton launched the inaugural Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review (QDDR) this past summer, helpfully providing State, USAID and the MCC the opportunity to make a strong case for a more balanced approach to statecraft in the face of a dominant Department of Defense unsurprisingly oriented toward military solutions. It could also lead to reorganization.
But the most significant effort presently underway is the Presidential Study Directive on U.S. global development policies and implementation. This review, undertaken jointly by the heads of the NSC and the NEC, offers a distinct opportunity to craft a new strategic approach that shapes the QDDR and potential legislation. Development cooperation does not exclusively pivot around aid, and the resulting presidential guidance will be informed by a more comprehensive approach to development that considers the interrelationships and implications of our trade and international finance instruments alongside our aid. This review is expected to result in critical presidential decisions early in 2010.
The crawling pace of reforms may conflict with the congressional calendar. Legislation gearing up in both the House and the Senate has now been pushed into 2010, an election year that could impose greater hurdles to passage. The fundamental reforms required will need to be sealed in new laws, and the administration wants to be in a position to point Congress in the right direction. Let's hope the window of opportunity for fundamental change remains open long enough.
While the administration has taken some very positive steps in terms of rhetoric and international development cooperation commitments, it started off slower-than-expected on the essential internal structural and policy reforms needed to elevate development, rationalize bureaucracy and forge policy coherence. The building blocks are, however, now in place.

Q: Use the continued fraction expansion of $\sqrt{2}$ and show that $\mathbb Q$ and $\mathbb Q^c$ does not possess the Completeness Axiom Property. $\mathbb Q^c$  = set of irrational numbers and $\mathbb Q$ = set of rational numbers,
This question is from my Mathematics assignment, and my professor specifically asked us to use continued fraction expansions to solve this. I have proved that rationals does not posses completeness axiom property, using the set
$\{\lor x \in \mathbb Q, \,x> 0| x^2<2\}$
. But No idea how to prove for irrational using continued fractions

A: Proving the continued fraction expansion of $\sqrt2$
check this out, it explores a detailed method.
You can use the convergents of the continued fraction expansion. The terms of the sequence of convergents alternate between being greater than and less than $\sqrt{2}$. If you consider the odd set of terms you can see that $\sqrt{2}$ is an upper bound. Further the absolute difference between consecutive terms of the convergents reduces and approaches 0. You can use this to show that $\sqrt{2}$ is the least upper bound of the set of odd terms. It follows that it is a set of rationals, but its supremum is irrational, hence not satisfying the completeness property.
Hope this helps :)

Black History Month: A Woman's Perspective
This year's Black History Month event will discuss the realities of black women in today's society.
Two years ago, learner Mariama Diallo was reading a book with her LINC class, and the book was set in Botswana. During the discussion, Mariama shared that when she was a child, she remembers seeing her grandmother make a fire in her home in Senegal to warm up on cold nights. Mariama's classmates were very surprised. They thought Africa was too hot to ever get cold. But as they continued the book, Mariama says her classmates started to view Africans differently.
"[One of my classmates] said 'Where is your country? Can you show me on the map,'" says Mariama. "I showed her the map, I told her about the country, how many languages we speak. It was a very teachable moment."
Mariama hopes there will be many more teachable moments at next week's Cultural Insights: Black History Month: A Woman's Perspective, a roundtable conversation in which Mariama will be participating. At the event, members of the Bow Valley College community and beyond will discuss the realities of black women in a Black Lives Matter-influenced society. The other speakers will be Rennais Gayle, an instructor in the School of Global Access; Moji Tawo, author of I Give Because I'm Blessed — I'm Blessed Because I Give; Cynthia Okafor, a social worker and makeup artist; and Nemi Boyo, an author and poet. Mariama is the only learner who will be on the panel.
Tahira Ebrahim, centre liaison officer at the Intercultural Centre, in the School of Global Access, says a Black Lives Matter-influenced society means looking at the realities of the black community in North America, unpacking the lens of our colonial history, and understanding that that history has very real systemic implications for people's lives today.
She adds that in previous years, the panelists for the Intercultural Centre's Black History Month events were predominantly male, and this year, the team wanted to include female perspectives. "We were working with so many strong, brilliant black women within the work that we were doing at the Intercultural Centre," she says. "They had fascinating stories and we thought it would be quite powerful to have them all together."
Mariama says that it's important for her peers to attend so they can educate themselves and hear from the black women in our community rather than relying on representations of black women in the media as those can be stereotypes. Tahira adds by attending the event, learners and staff can gain an appreciation for black history within Alberta, draw connections between this history and members of the community, and hear from voices that they may not have heard from before. "It's about exposing College members to a wider variety of lived experiences because all five women have very distinct backgrounds," she adds.
Cultural Insights: Black History Month: A Woman's Perspective takes place on Thursday, February 28, from noon to 1 p.m. in N322. To register, email intercultural@bowvalleycollege.ca.

TRIVIA 0017: WHO IS JOSE NUNEZ JR.?
TRIVIA 0017: WHO IS JOSE NUNEZ JR.
BY EMIL JURADO
MANILA STANDARD TODAY
But who is this Jose Nuñez Jr. who has sent a show-cause letter to some 20 senior managers of the bank?
I have never heard of any experience of Nuñez as a banker. Now, all of a sudden, he becomes the hitman of the Aquino administration against past officials and directors who were appointed by Mrs. Arroyo.
Nuñez was chief of staff of the youngest of the Zamora brothers, Salvador "Buddy" Zamora, who was a big contributor to the Aquino campaigning 2010. When payback time came, Nuñez got the plum post of DBP chairman.
This is clearly a witch hunt. The young lawyer Pinpin tragically became collateral damage. By the way, I have copies of those show-cause letters.
I have a sneaking suspicion that Nuñez and his cohorts want to link Ongpin and former DBP president Rey David to former First Gentleman Mike Arroyo.
Come to think of it, there was this complaint addressed to the Ombudsman and the Bangko Sentral of the Philippines by DBP "Concerned DBP Employees and Officials" that Nuñez had violated the Graft and Corrupt Practices Act and BSP rules and regulations by utilizing the planes of his former boss, Buddy Zamora.
Zamora is also a client of the DBP with yet-unpaid loans yet unpaid (it would be interesting to find out why they have not been paid).
That complaint was even published in The Manila Standard Today. Whatever happened to it? We have not heard more about it. What is BSP Governor Amando Tetangco doing with that complaint, may I ask?
FROM THE DBP WEBSITE:
JOSE A. NUÑEZ, JR.
Chairman Nuñez has built an extensive career in banking and management. He is the current chairman of Asian Express Money Services Corporation, a company engaged in foreign exchange dealership, money changing, and global remittance services. He was also a former director of Philippine Veterans Bank, serving as chairman of its board credit committee and member of the executive and corporate governance committees.
He also serves as director of Camp John Hay Development Corporation, Northwood Resources Corporation, Citystate Savings Bank, Tranzen Group, Inc., La Costa Development Corporation, Agus 3 Hydropower Corporation, Universal LRT Corporation Ltd., and Goldenville Holdings Corporation.
He was vice chairman and chief executive officer of Federal Savings and Mortgage Bank from 1997-2000 until its merger with Security Bank Corporation; and executive vice president and chief operating officer of Premiere Development Bank from 1982-1986 and 1989-1991. He has also been affiliated with Allied Banking Corporation, and Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation.
Chairman Nuñez has a Bachelor of Arts major in Economics degree (Honors Program) fromXavierUniversity, and is a candidate for a Masters in Business Administration degree from the Ateneo de Manila University.

Naoto Nelson Saika recently returned to his home in Washington, District of Columbia, after spending six months in Geneva as an intern at the Appellate Body Secretariat of the World Trade Organization (WTO). He completed his LL.M. in International Business and Economic Law at Georgetown University Law Center with a certificate in WTO Studies.
Prior to his legal career, Nelson worked in the grain industry as an international trader for a large Japanese corporation. He specialized in wheat and rice import-export between North America and Southeast Asia, including Japan, of which annual volume exceeded one million metric tons during his time as manager of the company's Oregon-based office.


It was one of the key pillars of post-crisis financial reform. In passing the US Dodd-Frank Act, lawmakers mandated that all over-the-counter derivatives trades be reported to swap data repositories (SDRs), providing regulators with insight into previously opaque markets. That would help prevent the build-up of systemic risk that had such dire consequences in 2008.


Meet two of our amazing super hero fundraisers, June Wilson and her sister-in-law Cherry Stroud. They have been busy fundraising for the last couple of years. And for their latest challenge last weekend they and a group of friends walked a staggering 37 miles from Cirencester to Southmead Hospital in just 15 hours.
The women have so far raised an amazing £2,000 for us and Cancer Research. The money for Southmead Hospital will go towards our Intensive Care Unit (ICU) where June's son was treated following an accident.
"We started fundraising in June 2015 to celebrate our 50th birthdays. We have chosen to raise money for Southmead Hospital's ICU as my son was treated for a blood clot on his brain and we want to say thank you." Explains June.
The women's fundraising activities have so far included a BBQ, a sleepover on the streets of Cirencester, a jumble sale, pub crawl, bingo night, New Year's Eve party, a coffee morning, and a car boot sale. Then the big walk last week.
"We had 17 walkers aged from 19 - 63. We walked via Tetbury, Didmarton, Horton, Yate and then on to Bristol. We had a few stops and had four support vehicles driven by family members to follow us with warning lights." Adds June.
It's a heroic effort but June and Cherry aren't stopping there. In June they are holding a raffle auction as their final fundraising event. We're very grateful for all of their support.

Books as kid gifts can be hit or miss—while the parents might be thrilled, unless it's a title that's on the child's wishlist, the present might be met with polite disappointment ("Oh, how ... nice"), or if he's under four, wild exasperation ("Books for Christmas?!"). They're sort of the ambrosia salad of children's gifting.
Not these, though. We've found five gift books that are sure to be opened with giddy excitement, passed around the room, and Instagrammed with abandon. There's something here for young page-flippers of every age.
Beards are funny. On little kids, they're hilarious. Here's a whole book of them for children to try on. Try not snapping a pic of young Dexter looking like a scruffy lumberjack. You can't do it. It cannot be done.
For fans of Disney and Pixar, this brand new book by pop-up master Matthew Reinhart is a must-have for the collection. See scenes from Monsters, Inc., Toy Story, Cars and Finding Nemo come to life in awe-inspiring detail. Look closely to find Easter eggs to other Disney-Pixar films.
As the title proclaims, this book is a planetarium—an actual, working, constellation-projecting planetarium. So neat, right? And it's even more than that. There's a built-in speaker (place your phone into the megaphone-like structure to amplify the sound), a spiralgraph, a message decoder, a geometric drawing generator, an infinite calendar and a musical instrument complete with strings—all of it made out of paper. Creator Kelli Anderson writes that she hopes readers will consider the book "an interactive field guide to the invisible," allowing them to play with aspects of our world that are usually abstractions, like light, sound, time and space.
If Shakespeare seems a little intimidating, this pop-up book will surely make it less so. Filled with cartoon-y illustrations and fun modern takes, it gives readers, new and old, an appreciation for classic works—violent deaths, invented words and all.


This is the new trailer for Rise of the Planet of the Apes that made its debut in the UK today and man, is it good.
This gives us more context, more story, more John Lithgow, more emotion. And a lot of Caesar the ape.
Can this turn into the sleeper hit of the summer?

Venezuela crisis: Maduro displays military might as US warns of 'significant response' to threats against diplomats
The Independent January 27, 2019
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro oversaw a display of the army's Russian hardware on Sunday, with anti-aircraft flak and tank rounds pounding a hillside to show military force and loyalty in the face of an international ultimatum for new elections.
Mr Maduro, 56, is confronting an unprecedented challenge to his authority after opposition leader Juan Guaido declared himself interim president citing a fraudulent election. Guaido has won wide international support and offers amnesty to soldiers who join him.
White House national security adviser John Bolton warned against violence or intimidation of American diplomats in Venezuela or the opposition leader, saying such action would trigger a response from the United States.
"Any violence and intimidation against US diplomatic personnel, Venezuela'€™s democratic leader, Juan Guiado (sic), or the National Assembly itself would represent a grave assault on the rule of law and will be met with a significant response," Mr Bolton said in a Twitter post, also noting Cuba's support for Mr Maduro's paramilitary forces.
On Sunday, Israel joined the countries backing the 35-year-old Mr Guaido, and Donald Trump's administration said it had accepted Venezuelan opposition figure Carlos Alfredo Vecchio as the country's diplomatic representative in the United States.

Early on Sunday, alongside Defence Minister Vladimir Padrino, Mr Maduro watched a platoon of soldiers release volleys of rocket-propelled grenades, machine-gun anti-aircraft fire and tank rounds at hillside targets, the Russian ordnance kicking up clouds of dust at the Fort of Paramacay, an armored vehicle base.
Mr Maduro said the display showed the world he had the backing of the military, and that Venezuela's armed forces were ready to defend the country. Mr Maduro says Mr Guaido is taking part in a coup directed by Mr Trump's hardline policy advisers, who include Cold War veterans Mr Bolton and Elliott Abrams.
"Nobody respects the weak, cowards, traitors. In this world, what's respected is the brave, the courageous, power," Mr Maduro said.
"Nobody should even think of stepping on this sacred soil. Venezuela wants peace ... and to guarantee peace, we have to be prepared," he said. From 10 – 15 February, the military is planning larger exercises that Mr Maduro described as the "most important in the history of Venezuela".
The show of force was accompanied by a government publicity campaign online based on the slogan "Always Loyal, Never a Traitor," and followed a high-profile defection by the country's top military diplomat in the United States on Saturday.

The Fort of Paramacay, about two hours west of the capital, Caracas, was itself the site of an uprising in 2017, when about 20 soldiers and armed civilians attacked the base. The leader of the attack, which was quickly subdued, said he was calling for a transitional government.
Mr Maduro on Sunday denounced an alleged conspiracy aimed at spreading rebellion in the army, saying thousands of messages were being sent to soldiers every day over WhatsApp and other social media platforms from neighboring Colombia. He later jogged with soldiers and visited a navy base.
Mr Guaido also sent a message to the military on Sunday, asking for support and ordering it not to repress civilians during an event in which supporters handed out copies of a proposed amnesty for people accused of crimes in the Maduro government.
"I order you not to shoot," he said. "I order you not to repress the people."
At a UN Security Council debate on Saturday, Russia and China strongly backed Mr Maduro and rejected calls by the United States, Canada, Latin American nations and European powers for early elections.
Both Russia and China are major creditors of Venezuela. Since the government of Mr Maduro's late mentor, Hugo Chavez, the OPEC nation has invested heavily in Russian weaponry, including Sukhoi fighter jets and heavy armour.
The strategic alliance was in evidence last year, when two Russian nuclear-capable bombers landed in Venezuela. Reuters reported on Friday that private military contractors who do secret missions for Russia flew into Venezuela to beef up security for Mr Maduro.
In an interview that aired on Sunday, Mr Maduro rejected a European ultimatum to call elections within eight days and said Mr Guaido violated the constitution by declaring himself interim leader.
"Fortunately, we don't depend on Europe. And those arrogant, overbearing attitudes, looking down on us, because we are [not]€™ inferior to them," he told CNN Turk.
"The leaders of Europe are sycophants, kneeling behind the policies of Donald Trump," he said, adding he was open to dialog and that meeting Mr Trump was improbable but not impossible.
Washington urged the world on Saturday to "pick a side" on Venezuela and financially disconnect from Mr Maduro's government.
Venezuela has sunk into turmoil under Mr Maduro, with food shortages and protests amid an economic and political crisis that has sparked mass emigration and inflation seen rising to 10 million percent this year.
Britain, Germany, France and Spain have all said they would recognise Mr Guaido if Mr Maduro failed to call new elections within eight days, an ultimatum Russia said was "absurd" and the Venezuelan foreign minister called "childlike".
The United States, Canada, most Latin American nations and many European states say Mr Maduro stole his second-term election win last May. The former union leader cruised to victory after blocking the main opposition candidates from running. Turnout was low.
Australia has also said it recognises Mr Guaido as interim president.
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan voiced his support for Mr Maduro in a phone call on Thursday.

Fu costantemente ai vertici del tennis mondiale negli anni settanta e ottanta (precisamente dal 1972 al 1989, anno del ritiro) e numero uno delle classifiche ufficiali per sette anni (dal 1974 al 1978 e poi nel biennio 1980-81).

Chris Evert, tra le prime ad usare il rovescio a due mani, avendo battuto campionesse come Margaret Court, Virginia Wade e Billie Jean King era già un nome prima ancora di entrare nel circuito professionistico. Nel 1974 la conquista a soli diciannove anni del Roland Garros diede il via a una delle più lunghe serie di successi della storia del tennis: 154 titoli vinti nel singolare, di cui diciotto sono prove del Grande Slam (sette Open di Francia, sei US Open, tre Wimbledon e due Australian Open); nel suo palmarès anche cinque titoli agli Internazionali d'Italia.

Nell'arco della sua quasi ventennale carriera la tennista statunitense ha vinto oltre il 90% delle gare disputate (1304 su 1448 secondo le statistiche ufficiali della WTA): la più alta percentuale in tutta la storia del tennis professionistico maschile e femminile. Altro record mai eguagliato è la sequenza di 125 vittorie consecutive sulla stessa superficie, la terra rossa, dove la Evert rimase imbattuta per sei anni, dal 1973 al 1979. La tennista statunitense, inoltre, ha vinto almeno una prova del Grande Slam per tredici anni consecutivi, dal 1974 al 1986 (anche questo è un record assoluto).

Proprio in virtù dell'eccezionalità dei risultati conseguiti, la letteratura sportiva ha annoverato il nome di Chris Evert nell'albo d'oro delle più grandi campionesse di ogni epoca e disciplina.

Insieme a Martina Navrátilová, altra grande campionessa di questo sport, ha generato una delle rivalità più famose e accese della storia del tennis.

Biografia
All'età di cinque anni inizia a giocare sui campi in terra, quella che rimarrà la sua superficie preferita e sulla quale diventerà praticamente imbattibile, guidata dal padre Jimmy Evert (ex tennista): "Mio padre mi raccomandava 'Porta la racchetta indietro, girati lateralmente, entra in campo quando colpisci la palla': ho ricordato quegli insegnamenti fondamentali, sempre".

Iniziò giovanissima a giocare i tornei giovanili raggiungendo in breve tempo la vetta delle graduatorie juniores. Nel 1970, a quindici anni, nelle semifinali del torneo di Charlotte sconfisse tra lo stupore generale Margaret Smith Court, la plurititolata campionessa australiana, indiscussa numero uno del mondo. Entrò nel circuito professionistico a diciotto anni, pur partecipando a diversi tornei open già in età minore (nel 1971 raggiunse le semifinali degli US Open) senza ritirare i premi vinti.

Carriera
Chris Evert è stata, tra il 1972 e il 1989, costantemente ai vertici del tennis mondiale, vincendo tutto: complessivamente 157 tornei, tra i quali diciotto titoli del Grand Slam. In particolare, tra il 1974 e il 1982, la Evert è stata quasi ininterrottamente al primo posto delle graduatorie mondiali, salvo brevi parentesi in cui è stata preceduta da giocatrici del valore di Evonne Goolagong, Tracy Austin e Martina Navrátilová: un dominio pressoché assoluto durato quasi un decennio.

1972
A diciassette anni fu protagonista di quello che, all'epoca, fu definito "l'incontro del secolo": la semifinale di Wimbledon nella quale, in vantaggio per 6-4, 3-0, subì una clamorosa rimonta dalla campionessa in carica Evonne Goolagong che, giocandole soventi smorzate sul rovescio bimane, vinse con il punteggio finale di 4-6, 6-3, 6-4. Raggiunse, nello stesso anno, anche le semifinali degli US Open, dove fu sconfitta da Kerry Melville 6-4, 6-2. Vinse quattro tornei e 47 incontri sui 54 disputati (87%).

I risultati più importanti furono la vittoria a Fort Lauderdale in finale su Billie Jean King (6-1, 6-0) e a Indianapolis, dove vinse la semifinale contro Margaret Smith Court (6-3, 7-6) e si impose in finale sulla Goolagong (7-6, 6-1). Fece parte della selezione statunitense nella Bonnie Belle Cup e sconfisse, nell'incontro con l'Australia, sia la Court (6-3, 6-3) che la Goolagong (6-3, 4-6, 6-0).

1973

A soli diciotto anni fu protagonista della finale degli Open di Francia, sconfitta dall'allora numero uno del mondo Margaret Court con il punteggio di 6-7, 7-6, 6-4. Nello stesso anno sconfisse proprio la Court nelle semifinali di Wimbledon (6-1, 1-6, 6-1) e raggiunse così la finale, dove venne sconfitta da Billie Jean King (6-0, 7-5). Vinse dieci tornei e ottantotto incontri sui novantotto disputati (90%).

Si impose nel torneo di Fort Lauderdale in finale su Virginia Wade (6-1, 6-2), nel torneo di Sarasota in finale sulla Goolagong (6-3, 6-2), nel torneo di Miami di nuovo in finale sulla Goolagong (3-6, 6-3, 6-2), a St. Petersburg in semifinale sulla Navrátilová (7-5, 6-3) e in finale sulla Goolagong (6-2, 0-6, 6-4), a Johannesburg in semifinale sulla Wade (7-6, 6-0) e in finale sulla Goolagong (6-3, 6-3). Nel torneo di Hilton Head, dopo avere sconfitto Billie Jean King in semifinale (4-6, 7-6, 6-1), perse la finale da Margaret Court (6-4, 6-7, 6-2). A Roma, nella finale degli Internazionali d'Italia, fu sconfitta dalla Goolagong 7-6, 6-0.

1974
Stabilì il nuovo record assoluto di 56 vittorie consecutive vincendo dieci tornei di fila. Vinse sedici tornei e 103 incontri sui 110 disputati (94%). Si impose agli Open di Francia senza perdere un set (battendo in finale Ol'ga Morozova 6-1, 6-2). Si impose anche a Wimbledon, sempre in finale sulla Morozova per 6-0, 6-4. Raggiunse la finale agli Australian Open, dove fu sconfitta da Evonne Goolagong per 7-6, 4-6, 6-0. Agli US Open fu sconfitta in semifinale ancora dalla Goolagong (6-0, 6-7, 6-3).

Da sottolineare la vittoria di Mission Viejo in finale sulla King (6-3, 6-1); a Roma, nella finale degli Internazionali d'Italia sulla Navrátilová (6-3, 6-3); a Dallas in finale sulla Wade (7-5, 6-2); a Sarasota in finale sulla Goolagong (6-4, 6-0); a St. Petersburg in finale sulla Melville (6-0, 6-1); a Houston in finale sulla Wade (6-3, 5-7, 6-1); a Hilton Head in semifinale sulla Goolagong (6-2, 6-1) e in finale sulla Wade (6-1, 6-3); a Eastbourne di nuovo in finale sulla Wade (7-5, 6-4).

1975

Si impose in due dei tre tornei del Grande Slam cui partecipò: agli Open di Francia, in finale sulla Navrátilová con il punteggio di 2-6, 6-2, 6-1, e agli US Open, dove si impose in semifinale sulla Navrátilová (6-4, 6-4) e in finale sulla Goolagong (5-7, 6-4, 6-2). A Wimbledon perse la semifinale dalla King (2-6, 6-2, 6-3). Vinse sedici tornei e 94 incontri sui cento disputati (94%). Da sottolineare la vittoria a Roma in finale sulla Navrátilová (6-1, 6-0); la vittoria a San Francisco in semifinale sulla Navrátilová (6-4, 6-3) e in finale sulla King (6-1, 6-1); ad Akron in semifinale sulla Wade (7-5, 6-2) e in finale sulla Court (6-4, 3-6, 6-3); a Houston in semifinale sulla Goolagong (4-6, 6-4, 7-6) e in finale sulla Court (6-3, 6-2); a Los Angeles nei quarti sulla Goolagong (6-1, 6-4), in semifinale sulla Morozova (6-2, 6-0) e in finale sulla Navrátilová (6-4, 6-2).

Trionfò anche ad Amelia Island in semifinale sulla Goolagong (6-1, 6-1) e in finale sulla Navrátilová (7-5, 6-4); a Austin in finale sulla King (4-6, 6-3, 7-5); a Rye in semifinale sulla Court (6-3, 6-3) e in finale sulla Wade (6-0, 6-1); ad Atlanta in finale sulla Navrátilová (2-6, 6-2, 6-0); a Hilton Head in finale sulla Goolagong (6-1, 6-1). Il 1975 fu l'anno in cui venne creata la classifica ufficiale della WTA (Women Tennis Association) e la Evert risultò subito essere la prima davanti alla sua più grande rivale dell'epoca: l'australiana Evonne Goolagong.

1976
Non partecipò agli Open di Francia né agli Australian Open e si impose in entrambe le prove del Grande Slam cui partecipò: sia a Wimbledon, dove si impose in semifinale sulla Navrátilová (6-3, 4-6, 6-4) e in finale sulla Goolagong (6-3, 4-6, 8-6), sia agli US Open dove si impose ancora in finale sulla Goolagong (6-3, 6-0). Vinse dodici tornei e 75 degli ottanta incontri disputati (94%). I risultati più rilevanti furono la vittoria a Austin in semifinale sulla Navrátilová (6-0, 6-3) e in finale sulla Goolagong (7-5, 6-1); a Washington in finale sulla Wade (6-2, 6-1); a Sarasota in finale sulla Goolagong (6-3, 6-0); a San Francisco di nuovo in finale sulla Goolagong (7-5, 7-6); a Eastbourne in finale sulla Wade (8-6, 6-3).

1977
Disertò ancora sia gli Open di Francia che gli Australian Open, imponendosi in una delle due prove dello Slam cui partecipò: di nuovo agli US Open, cedendo soltanto 27 game e nessun set in tutto il torneo, battendo in finale l'australiana Wendy Turnbull 7-6, 6-2. A Wimbledon, dopo avere sconfitto nei quarti Billie Jean King 6-1, 6-2, fu sconfitta in semifinale dalla vincitrice del torneo Virginia Wade con il punteggio di 6-1, 4-6, 6-2. Vinse undici tornei e settanta dei settantatré incontri disputati (96%).

I più importanti tornei vinti furono Hollywood in finale sulla Court (6-3, 6-4); Seattle in finale sulla Navrátilová (6-2, 6-4); Chicago in finale su Margaret Court (6-1, 6-3); Los Angeles in finale su Martina Navrátilová (6-2, 2-6, 6-1); Philadelphia ancora in finale sulla Navrátilová (6-4, 4-6, 6-3); Tucson in semifinale sulla Wade (6-3, 6-4) e in finale sulla Navrátilová (6-3, 7-6); Hilton Head in finale su Billie Jean King (6-0, 6-1); Mission Viejo su Martina Navrátilová (6-4, 6-1), poi sulla Wade (1-6, 6-4, 6-4) e in finale su Billie Jean King (6-2, 6-2). Da notare che la sua principale rivale, Evonne Goolagong, fu assente per buona parte dell'anno (divenne mamma a maggio) e che la Evert conobbe in tutto l'anno soltanto tre sconfitte: una dalla Navrátilová e due dalla Wade.

1978
Vinse una delle due prove dello Slam cui partecipò: si impose agli US Open per la quarta volta consecutiva, senza cedere un set e battendo in finale la connazionale Pam Shriver 7-5, 6-4; perse la finale a Wimbledon dalla Navrátilová (2-6, 6-4, 7-5). Vinse in tutto sette tornei e cinquantasei dei cinquantanove incontri disputati (95%).

Vinse a Philadelphia in semifinale sulla Wade (6-3, 6-2) e in finale sulla King (6-0, 6-4); a Hilton Head in semifinale su Tracy Austin (6-3, 6-1) e in finale sulla Melville (6-2, 6-0); ad Atlanta in finale sulla Navrátilová (7-6, 0-6, 6-3); a Bloomington in finale sulla Wade (6-7, 6-2, 6-4); a Mission Hills in semifinale sulla Wade (6-2, 6-2) e in finale sulla Navrátilová (6-3, 6-3); a Tokyo in semifinale sulla Wade (6-1, 6-3) e in finale sulla Navrátilová (7-5, 6-2). Da sottolineare la finale persa a Eastbourne dalla Navrátilová in un match avvincente (6-4, 4-6, 9-7).

1979
Tornò dopo tre anni di assenza agli Open di Francia e vinse in finale su Wendy Turnbull (6-2, 6-0); a Wimbledon si impose in semifinale sulla Goolagong (6-3, 6-2) ma fu sconfitta in finale dalla Navrátilová (6-4, 6-4); agli US Open sconfisse nei quarti la Goolagong (7-5, 6-2), in semifinale Billie Jean King (6-1, 6-0) ma trovò in finale la connazionale Tracy Austin che, imponendosi per 6-4, 6-3, impedì alla Evert di vincere il quinto titolo consecutivo.

Da notare che la Austin, nello stesso anno, vinse su Evert anche a Roma, interrompendo la serie di 125 successi consecutivi sulla terra iniziata nel 1973 (6-2, 4-6, 7-6 il punteggio della semifinale). Il 1979 è un anno in cui la Evert, dopo cinque anni di dominio assoluto, mostra segni di stanchezza ("Non mi diverto più come un tempo, vorrei fare anche altre cose"): è l'anno in cui convola a nozze con il tennista inglese John Lloyd e in cui iniziano a circolare voci su un suo possibile ritiro. In effetti i risultati conseguiti sembrano confermare la "stanchezza" della Evert, che perde la prima posizione mondiale e viene sconfitta anche dalla Stevens, la Barker, la Turnbull, giocatrici alle quali, abitualmente, concedeva soltanto pochi game.

Vinse in tutto otto tornei e ottantanove incontri sui centodue disputati (87%, una percentuale di vittorie bassa se confrontata con i suoi standard abituali): si impose a Seattle in finale su Renée Richards (6-1, 3-6, 6-3); a Los Angeles sulla Navrátilová (6-3, 6-4); a Eastbourne, in una battaglia interminabile, sulla Navrátilová (7-5, 5-7, 13-11); a Indianapolis in semifinale su Renee Richards (6-1, 6-0) e in finale su Evonne Goolagong (6-4, 6-3); a Mahwah in finale su Tracy Austin (6-7, 6-4, 6-1). Da notare le due vittorie su Renee Richards, il primo transessuale della storia a giocare nel circuito femminile. Da sottolineare, in questo anno difficile per la Evert, il ritorno su alti livelli della storica rivale Goolagong, la consacrazione della giovanissima stella statunitense Tracy Austin e una Navrátilová sempre più competitiva e affamata di vittorie.

1980
Vinse due delle tre prove dello Slam cui partecipò: agli Open di Francia si impose in semifinale sulla cecoslovacca Hana Mandlíková (6-7, 6-2, 6-2) e in finale su Virginia Ruzici (6-0, 6-3); agli US Open sconfisse in semifinale Tracy Austin (4-6, 6-1, 6-1) e in finale la Mandlíková (5-7, 6-1, 6-1); a Wimbledon si impose in semifinale sulla Navrátilová (4-6, 6-4, 6-2) ma fu sconfitta nella finale dalla Goolagong (6-1, 7-6). Dopo un avvio in sordina, che sembrava confermare la stanchezza accusata nell'anno precedente, si impose in otto tornei e concluse l'anno con un bilancio di settanta gare vinte sulle settantasette disputate (91%).

Si impose a Perugia (TC Junior) in semifinale sulla Mandlíková (6-4, 3-6, 6-3) e in finale sulla Ruzici (5-7, 6-2, 6-2); a Chichester nei quarti su Andrea Jaeger (6-3, 6-2), in semifinale sulla Shriver (7-5, 6-2) e in un'avvincente finale sulla Goolagong (6-3, 6-7, 7-5); a Indianapolis in finale sulla Jaeger (6-4, 6-3); a Toronto nei quarti sulla Mandlíková (3-6, 6-1, 6-2), in semifinale sulla Shriver (6-4, 7-5) e in finale sulla Ruzici (6-3, 6-1); a Deerfield Beach in finale ancora su Andrea Jaeger (6-4, 6-1); a Brighton in finale sulla Navrátilová (6-4, 5-7, 6-3). Il 1980 fu l'anno del grande ritorno della Evert, che riprese d'autorità il primo posto nelle graduatorie mondiali davanti alla Austin e alla Navrátilová.

1981
Fu uno dei pochi anni in cui partecipò a tutte le prove del Grande Slam: vinse a Wimbledon senza perdere un set e battendo in finale Hana Mandlíková (6-2, 6-2), mentre fu sconfitta nella finale degli Australian Open da Martina Navrátilová in una partita avvincente: 6-7, 6-4, 7-5 il punteggio finale; agli Open di Francia raggiunse le semifinali, dove fu sconfitta dalla Mandlíková (6-4, 7-5); agli US Open, dopo essersi imposta nei quarti sulla stessa Mandlíková (6-1, 6-3), trovò la sconfitta in semifinale in una delle ormai abituali battaglie con la Navrátilová (7-5, 4-6, 6-4). Il 1981 fu un anno ricco di successi, che iniziò con una sequenza di sei tornei vinti consecutivamente, tra i quali gli Internazionali d'Italia (svoltisi come nel 1980 a Perugia-TC Junior) in finale sulla Ruzici (6-1, 6-2).

Sul finire di stagione raggiunse la vittoria nel torneo di Sydney, dove sconfisse nei quarti la Goolagong (6-2, 6-0), in semifinale la Bunge (6-7, 6-4, 6-1) e in finale la Navrátilová (6-4, 2-6, 6-1). Nel corso dell'anno vinse in tutto nove tornei e settantatrè incontri sui settantanove disputati (92%). Da sottolineare la vittoria in uno dei duelli più appassionanti di sempre, a East Rutherford, sulla Austin (4-6, 6-4, 7-6) e la vittoria nella finale del torneo di Amelia Island, dove inflisse alla Navrátilová uno "storico" 6-0, 6-0.

1982
Si impose agli US Open battendo in semifinale Andrea Jaeger (6-1, 6-2) e in finale Hana Mandlíková (6-3, 6-1); vinse anche gli Australian Open battendo nei quarti la King (6-2, 6-2), in semifinale la Jaeger (6-1, 6-0) e in finale Martina Navrátilová (6-3, 2-6, 6-3); a Wimbledon, dopo la semifinale vinta su Billie Jean King (7-6, 2-6, 6-3), fu sconfitta in finale dalla Navrátilová (6-1, 3-6, 6-2); agli Open di Francia fu sconfitta in semifinale dalla giovanissima Andrea Jaeger (6-3, 6-1). Anche questo fu un anno ricco di successi: dieci tornei vinti e settantacinque incontri sugli 81 disputati (93%).

Da ricordare la vittoria a Palm Beach Gardens in semifinale sulla Goolagong (5-7, 6-1, 6-4) e in finale su Andrea Jaeger (6-1, 7-5); ad Amelia Island ancora in finale sulla Jaeger (6-3, 6-1); a Perugia (come negli anni 1980 e 1981-TC Junior) in finale su Hana Mandlíková (6-0, 6-3); a Lugano nei quarti sulla cecoslovacca Helena Suková (6-4, 6-1), in semifinale sulla Ruzici (6-0, 6-1) e in finale sull'ungherese Andrea Temesvári (6-0, 6-3); a Deerfield Beach in finale sulla Jaeger (6-1, 6-1); a Tampa in finale sulla Jaeger (3-6, 6-1, 6-4); a Tokyo ancora in finale sulla Jaeger (6-3, 6-2). Da sottolineare la vittoria, nella semifinale del torneo di East Rutherford, su Tracy Austin con un clamoroso 6-0, 6-0.

Il 1982 è l'anno in cui la Evert realizza il Grande Slam di carriera, ossia la vittoria di tutti e quattro i tornei del Grande Slam, vincendo l'ultimo torneo dello Slam mai vinto prima: gli Australian Open, torneo a cui partecipò in precedenza soltanto altre due volte. Il 1982 è l'anno che segnerà la fine del dominio della Evert sul tennis mondiale e il passaggio delle consegne a Martina Navratilova, salvo un ultimo ritorno in vetta alle graduatorie mondiali qualche anno dopo.

1983-1984
Martina Navrátilová dominò la scena mondiale vincendo quasi tutti i tornei ai quali partecipò e tutti i dodici incontri diretti con Evert, che sembrava ormai impotente di fronte alla schiacciante superiorità della ex cecoslovacca: non riusciva più a contrastare i suoi continui attacchi a rete con passanti efficaci.

In effetti gli architetti del gioco di Martina Navrátilová erano riusciti nel loro intento di costruire una tattica per annientare l'eterna rivale Evert: un "serve and volley" martellante e continue discese a rete che, tenendo la Evert sotto continua pressione, finivano per disorientarla. Quello della Navrátilová era un tipo di gioco mai praticato prima da nessuna donna: in effetti si basava su una preparazione atletica molto intensa, che rese all'ex cecoslovacca un vigore fisico e una potenza senza precedenti nel tennis femminile.

Furono gli anni peggiori della carriera della Evert, che mai aveva subito così a lungo la superiorità di alcuna giocatrice. Nel biennio 1983-84 la Evert riuscì, comunque, a vincere due prove del Grande Slam: gli Open di Francia (nel 1983 in finale su Mima Jaušovec 6-1, 6-2) e gli Australian Open (nel 1984 in finale su Helena Suková 6-7, 6-1, 6-3). Da ricordare, in questo biennio in cui la Evert rimase stabilmente al secondo posto delle classifiche mondiali dietro alla Navrátilová, le finali raggiunte agli US Open nel 1983 (sconfitta dalla Navrátilová 6-1, 6-3), agli Open di Francia nel 1984 (sconfitta dalla Navrátilová 6-3, 6-1) e agli US Open nel 1984 (sconfitta ancora dalla Navrátilová 4-6, 6-4, 6-4). Nel 1984, sempre a Perugia (TC Junior) dove vinse negli anni 1980-1981 e 1982, perse in finale contro la bulgara Manuela Maleeva per 6-3, 6-3, una giovane di appena diciassette anni.

1985
Con l'aiuto del coach Dennis Ralston e del marito (il tennista inglese John Lloyd) la Evert ritrovò la strada per contrastare lo straripante gioco di Martina Navrátilová: per batterla doveva tenerla lontana dalla rete mantenendo costantemente una maggiore profondità di palla che, anche di fronte alle continue discese a rete della scatenata ex cecoslovacca, le desse modo di potere giocare passanti efficaci; inoltre, sempre al fine di tenere la Navrátilová lontana dalla rete, doveva essere lei stessa a scendere più spesso a rete: effettuò, dunque, una preparazione mirata a migliorare le sue volley ("Dennis Ralston mi ha trasformato in una volleatrice migliore, con più tocco, la mano più morbida, e mi ha aiutato con il mio servizio kick").

Evert, forte di questo duro lavoro volto a migliorare diversi aspetti del suo gioco, interruppe finalmente la lunga serie negativa e si impose sulla Navrátilová, dopo oltre due anni, nella finale del torneo di Key Biscayne con il punteggio di 6-2, 6-4. In quell'occasione la Evert disse nel dopo partita:

Ma il 1985 regalò un'altra grande soddisfazione alla Evert: la vittoria nella finale dell'Open di Francia ancora sulla Navrátilová (6-3, 6-7, 7-5 il punteggio finale di uno dei duelli sportivi più appassionanti di sempre) la riportò al primo posto delle classifiche mondiali, interrompendo il dominio assoluto della ex cecoslovacca che durava ormai da oltre due anni: "Non si trattava semplicemente di un'altra vittoria di Chris su Martina o di un'ennesima vittoria di Chris in uno Slam" ricorda Andy Brandi "si trattava di ben altro, di qualcosa di più: la Regina era tornata sul trono. L'emozione di tutti era palpabile".

Nello stesso anno la Women Sports Foundation elegge Chris Evert "La più grande atleta degli ultimi 25 anni". Il 1985 vide la Evert nelle finali di altre due prove dello Slam, sconfitta in entrambe le occasioni da Martina Navrátilová (4-6, 6-3, 6-2 a Wimbledon e 6-2, 4-6, 6-2 agli Australian Open).

Ultimi anni
Il 1986 fu l'ultimo anno in cui la Evert riuscì a vincere una prova del Grande Slam: si impose nuovamente agli Open di Francia in finale sulla Navrátilová con il punteggio di 2-6, 6-3, 6-3.

Nel 1987 raggiunse le semifinali agli Open di Francia e a Wimbledon. Nel 1988 agli Australian Open, dopo aver sconfitto in semifinale la Navrátilová 6-2, 7-5, fu sconfitta in finale dal talento emergente Steffi Graf 6-1, 7-6.

Il 1989 fu l'anno del ritiro; raggiunse le semifinali a Wimbledon e sfiorò un clamoroso successo sulla nuova dominatrice del tennis mondiale: a Boca Raton perse in finale dalla Graf 4-6, 6-2, 6-3.

1989: il ritiro

Era il 1988 quando Chris Evert annunciò che l'anno seguente sarebbe stato l'ultimo della sua carriera. Ritiratasi nel 1989, ha iniziato a collaborare saltuariamente come commentatrice sportiva ed è diventata mamma di tre figli. Dal 1983 al 1990 è stata presidentessa della Women's International Tennis Association. Nel 1996 ha fondato, insieme al padre e al fratello, la "Evert Tennis Academy": tra i suoi tanti allievi ci sono stati Andy Roddick, Madison Keys e la georgiana Anna Tatishvili.

Stile di gioco

Il gioco della Evert era basato sull'intelligenza tattica, la concentrazione, la velocità, la perfetta coordinazione nei movimenti, il controllo di palla: era un gioco solido, lineare, geometrico, caratterizzato da profondità e precisione dei colpi, giocati completamente piatti e a corde tese; si svolgeva essenzialmente da fondo campo, con rare escursioni a rete, effettuate il più delle volte solo per chiudere il punto.

Il suo rovescio a due mani fa parte dei colpi leggendari della storia del tennis. I passanti lungolinea e incrociati, così come le risposte al servizio, i pallonetti e le smorzate, erano i suoi colpi vincenti. Era un gioco meno appariscente rispetto a quello di molte sue rivali e, per questo, spesso meno apprezzato; in realtà il suo gioco rivelava straordinarie doti mentali, che le hanno consentito di prevalere su giocatrici fisicamente imponenti e molto potenti.

Il suo modo di giocare e il suo stile inconfondibile hanno influenzato intere generazioni: in effetti oggi circa il 70% delle giocatrici usa il rovescio a due mani e un tipo di gioco simile al suo. La sua proverbiale freddezza in campo, la femminilità, l'eleganza nel portamento e nei modi, unitamente al suo fascino, le valsero all'inizio della carriera i soprannomi, coniati dalla stampa inglese, di "Ice Princess" (Principessa di ghiaccio) e "The Ice Maiden" ("La signorina di ghiaccio"). Nel corso della sua carriera diversi altri nomi le vennero attribuiti, tra i quali "Queen of the courts" ("Regina dei campi") e "Chrissie the great" ("Chrissie la grande"). Negli anni in cui si impose in vetta alle graduatorie del tennis mondiale, i suoi connazionali iniziarono a chiamarla "Chris America", l'appellativo che l'ha accompagnata fino alla fine della sua carriera.

Rivalità

La storica rivalità con la Navrátilová

Tutti gli appassionati di tennis dell'epoca ricordano le sue sfide con Martina Navrátilová, che hanno dato luogo alla più lunga rivalità sportiva di tutti i tempi, con ottanta incontri disputati e un bilancio finale favorevole alla Navrátilová (43 vittorie contro 37).

La rivalità tra Evert e Navrátilová ha caratterizzato quasi un ventennio del tennis femminile, periodo nel quale molte delle finali dei tornei più importanti le vedevano l'una di fronte all'altra: la Navrátilová prevaleva in genere sulle superfici più veloci ed in particolare sull'erba, mentre la Evert su quelle più lente. In generale, la Evert ha prevalso nel periodo tra il 1973 ed il 1982, la Navrátilová ha invece prevalso negli anni successivi.

La Evert è stata in vantaggio negli scontri diretti fino al 1984 e ha subito tredici sconfitte consecutive dalla sua avversaria nel biennio 1983-84, due anni in cui la Navrátilová ha dominato saldamente le classifiche mondiali. Il punteggio più severo, nella storia delle loro sfide, lo ha inflitto la Evert alla Navrátilová, sconfiggendola in un'occasione per 6-0, 6-0 (1981, Finale del Torneo di Amelia Island).

È stata proprio la Navrátilová l'avversaria che più volte è riuscita a battere la Evert e, d'altro canto, è stata proprio la Evert la giocatrice che in assoluto ha inflitto il maggior numero di sconfitte alla Navrátilová. La storica rivalità tra Evert e Navrátilová ha regalato al tennis alcuni tra i duelli più belli e appassionanti di sempre, con giocate di altissimo livello tecnico; quando le due giocatrici si presentavano in finale entrambe in forma e decise a vincere, gli spettatori avevano la possibilità di vedere tutti i colpi possibili riportati nei manuali di tennis e giocati nel modo migliore: i servizi della Navrátilová e le risposte al servizio di Chris Evert, le discese e i colpi a rete della Navrátilová e i passanti della Evert, le "smorzate" di Martina Navrátilová e i pallonetti di Chris Evert.

Ha detto Chris Evert "La mia felicità era batterla, quando perdevo ero delusa, ma non devastata. Se non vincevo io il torneo, preferivo toccasse a lei".

Rivalità Evert-Goolagong
Tra le altre giocatrici dell'epoca che sono riuscite a battere la Evert in più di un'occasione ricordiamo innanzitutto la campionessa australiana Evonne Goolagong, con la quale ha disputato diverse finali di tornei del Grand Slam (a Wimbledon, agli US Open e agli Australian Open) e che è stata considerata la sua principale rivale negli anni settanta.

Rivalità Evert-Austin
La statunitense Tracy Austin, sua grande rivale sul finire degli anni settanta e nei primissimi anni ottanta, fu la giocatrice che nel 1979 a Roma, nelle semifinali degli Internazionali d'Italia, pose fine alla sua imbattibilità sulla terra rossa, che durava dal 1973 (6-2, 4-6, 7-6 il punteggio finale).

Vita privata
Nei primi anni settanta ebbe un'importante relazione con il grande campione connazionale Jimmy Connors. I due ammisero pubblicamente la loro relazione e occasionalmente giocarono anche dei tornei di doppio insieme, raggiungendo come massimo risultato la finale agli US Open del 1974. La loro relazione durò per alcuni anni e i due fecero anche dei progetti per un matrimonio che doveva essere celebrato l'8 novembre 1974 ma che venne inizialmente rimandato e infine annullato a causa della decisione della tennista di abortire.

Negli anni successivi alla fine del legame con Connors la Evert fu legata sentimentalmente per brevi periodi a molte personalità famose, tra queste Burt Reynolds, Geraldo Rivera, Adam Faith, John Gardner "Jack" Ford (il figlio del presidente Gerald Ford) e il collega Vitas Gerulaitis.

Nel 1979 si sposò con il collega inglese John Lloyd, cambiando il suo nome ufficiale nei tabelloni dei tornei in Chris Evert-Lloyd. La coppia non ebbe figli perché Chris preferì aspettare il termine della propria carriera per averne ma nel 1987 i due divorziarono.

Nel 1988, un anno dopo il divorzio, Chris si sposò con Andy Mill, sciatore statunitense. Terminata la carriera agonistica nel 1989 Chris poté dare alla luce tre figli: Alexander James (12 ottobre 1991), Nicholas Joseph (8 giugno 1994) e Colton Jack (14 giugno 1996). Il 13 novembre 2006 Chris Evert presentò la richiesta di divorzio che fu ufficializzato il 4 dicembre successivo; Chris dovette pagare all'ex marito sette milioni di dollari in contanti e dovette lasciargli la casa di Aspen (Colorado) del valore di quattro milioni di dollari.

Il 28 giugno 2008 si è sposata per la terza volta con il golfista australiano Greg Norman, alle Bahamas, ma già l'anno successivo i due si separarono di comune accordo. Attualmente Chris Evert è impegnata in diverse attività: infatti oltre ad essere ospite fissa di molti programmi televisivi (non solo sportivi) possiede una scuola di tennis a Boca Raton (Florida) ed è allenatrice della squadra di tennis della prestigiosa Saint Andrew's School di Boca Raton.

Anche la sorella minore Jeanne fu una valida tennista; all'esordio da professionista a quindici anni vinse il torneo di Fort Lauderdale battendo Sharon Walsh 6-4 7-5.

Curiosità
 Nel 1987, durante una partita degli US Open, Chris Evert perse improvvisamente il suo prezioso bracciale in diamanti disegnato dal gioielliere egiziano George Bedewi e richiese che fosse fermata momentaneamente la partita affinché potesse recuperare i diamanti che si erano sparsi sul campo: la diretta TV si trasformò in un grandissimo spot pubblicitario per questo tipo di bracciale, che da allora divenne definitivamente chiamato con il nome di "bracciale tennis".

Illness and injuries don't always strike when it's most convenient. Planning in advance before you need quick medical help can save time, money and most of all, frustration. Here are seven common mistakes people make when seeking immediate care for themselves or their loved ones – and how to avoid them.
An immediate care plan should include directions to both an urgent care facility and emergency room location to ensure round-the-clock access to medical help. Visit Ascension to find health care providers near you.
Health care providers will generally ask for a driver's license and your medical insurance card before treatment, so don't forget to bring yours with you before you seek medical care.
It's best not to seek immediate care alone. A trusted coworker, friend or family member can bring unexpected relief along with their company. Loved ones can help with essential tasks like putting quarters in the parking meter and coordinating child care. They can also help explain symptoms to your attending doctor – a real help when you're not feeling your best.
Health insurers typically recommend patients visit in-network providers that accept their particular insurance. You should call your insurance provider, visit their website or consult your plan of benefits in advance of needing immediate care.
Be forthcoming with your doctor when disclosing current medications or supplements. It's also important to acknowledge any previous medical complications, illnesses or surgeries. This helps doctors create the best treatment for you. Pro tip: Write down your medical history and keep it in your wallet or purse– that way, it's available even if you're unable to remember all the details.
Nobody likes waiting in line – especially when you're not feeling well. Many emergency rooms and urgent care clinics are overwhelmed with customers during holidays and weekends, so expect to wait during peak times. Some immediate care locations allow patients to electronically reserve a place in line or a time to visit. This can shorten your waiting time.
Immediate care options now make it possible to see a doctor without an appointment, after business hours or even on a holiday. There's no excuse not to seek medical attention when you need it. Put yourself first and make health a priority in 2018. Visit Ascension for more information on choosing the best immediate care option.

"I believe the Merage School is at another inflection point, and in the next decade or so, it will break into the top 20 among all national universities." says Greg Lai, MBA '88. "Now is the time for us to lead this new wave of giving."
Leading a New Wave of Investing: Gregory Lai, MBA '88, strategically invests to propel the Merage School forward
December 07, 2018 • By Christine Byrd
Greg Lai's legacy investment of $250,000 this year — his largest ever in the UCI Paul Merage of School of Business — grew from decades of gaining from and giving back to the school. Lai and supporters like him have made possible the Merage School's upward climb.
"I believe the Merage School is at another inflection point, and in the next decade or so, it will break into the top 20 among all national universities." Lai explains, "Now is the time for us to lead this new wave of giving."
Though Lai earned his MBA in 1988, his connection to UCI goes back further: his dad joined UCI's research faculty in its early days, and he met his wife Cindy, '92, at UCI when she was an undergraduate and he was earning his MBA and serving as a teaching assistant for the chemistry department.
Lai's career post-graduation was studded with success. He snagged internships in real estate finance and investment management that he parlayed into a full time appointment as a quantitative specialist at PIMCO. He founded his own boutique investment firm, Affinity Investment Advisors, which he sold to Morgan Stanley. Plus, the biggest success of all: he and Cindy raised two collegebound daughters.
"After I graduated, I really felt like I owed all my success to UCI and Merage," says Lai.
So, when Lai turned 50, he began thinking more seriously about his legacy and whether his actions will make the world a better place. For the Lai family, UCI is like home and Anteaters are family, so it is the perfect place to build a legacy.
He and Cindy believe it will require an active group of supporters and alumni to push the Merage School to the next level of excellence. "You have to trust in the long term," says Lai, "you only get to that future by investing today."
Over the years, Lai has given to UCI in myriad ways, from chairing advisory boards to serving as an adjunct lecturer — what he describes as the most rewarding experience.
"UCI is a great place to continue to learn, whether you're a student or working professional," he says. "The innovation, the ideas, and the youthful energy of the students all keep me young. I know my investment will support that into the future."
The face of giving:
Chairman, Dean's Advisory Board
Member, Dean's Leadership Circle
President, Graduate School of Management Alumni Network
Advisory board member, Center for Investment and Wealth Management
Donor, endowed chairs, scholarships and new Merage School building
Adjunct lecturer

14 Colorado Musicians Dominating Red Rocks This Concert Season
Emma Jerry March 29, 2018 Music
Photo by Meg O'Neill
Though some cities have famous bridges, historic statues and iconic architecture, Denver has something that no other city has. We've got the greatest outdoor music venue right in our backyard, with a backdrop of the Rocky Mountains that will take anyone's breath away. It's only natural that along with that, Denver's unprecedented local music scene will have their time to wow the crowds at the iconic venue. Over numerous nights this year, we've got some of Colorado's greatest music talent gracing the Red Rocks stage. Our local bands and the legendary Red Rocks make a beautiful combination and we're especially excited for these shows that will showcase what's so special about our city. In addition to the local sets at Red Rocks earlier this year, here are the Colorado acts gracing the Red Rocks stage in 2018.
READ: All of the 2018 Red Rocks Shows Announced So Far
SunSquabi
Photo by Amanda Piela
When: April 24
Cost: $30; Get tickets here.
The Lowdown: This electro-funk trio got their big break with their debut EP Odyssey, produced by GRiZ's All Good Records just barely two years ago. SunSquabi has collaborated on tracks with GRiZ and Big Gigantic, both of whom are on this list too and the camaraderie that is felt within the local music scene is truly inspiring. The band has performed at some of the nation's biggest music festivals, from Electric Forest to High Sierra to Hulaween and more. 2017 brought their second EP release and a huge headlining tour, so the Red Rocks show will catch SunSquabi running on a high from everything they've got going on lately.

When: May 5
The Lowdown: This jam-grass band is the opener for Phil Lesh and the Terrapin Family Band, which means — with so many well-versed Deadheads in attendance — Leftover Salmon will have to bring the heat. Known for both their pristine bluegrass sound and their incendiary island-style jamming, guitarist Vince Herman will no doubt have you screaming along with him in his musical motto, "festival!" This band knows how to really party and they'll be getting the Red Rocks crowd revved up for the relatively rare appearance of Grateful Dead member Phil Lesh. And we'd bet there will be some sit-ins throughout the evening too.
Elephant Revival
When: May 20
Cost: $45-50; Get tickets here.
The Lowdown: This show will be the most bittersweet event for local music fans, as it is the last time this band will perform together as Elephant Revival. Last month, the band released a statement announcing a hiatus that will begin following the Red Rocks show. The announcement was added with further heartbreak when shortly after that, fiddle player Bridget Law announced her departure from the band. Elephant Revival has been a pioneer band in the local music scene, especially within the folk and bluegrass genres. The future of the band and the careers of its insanely talented members is still unknown, which is why there's no excuse to miss this performance.
The Motet

When: June 2
The Lowdown: The Motet is a staple within the Denver live music scene, and on June 2 they will be playing that funky music alongside electronic duo Boombox for one dance-your-booty-off evening. The band has continued on its upward trajectory since Jans Ingber passed the torch to frontman Lyle Divinsky. From the Ogden's "Hometown Hustle" to playing festivals all over the country, The Motet is a premier funk band that we're proud to call our own. David Watts will provide the beats, Joey Porter will get weird with the synthesizer and the horn section will be the cherry on top of a great night of music.

Cost: $54-75
The Lowdown: Boulder-based and performing for over three decades, Big Head Todd and the Monsters will be roaming the Red Rocks stage this June, promoting their latest album, New World Arisin'. With past albums and singles achieving Billboard chart status, including the popular songs "Bittersweet," "Broken Hearted Savior" and "Boom Boom," fans are eager to see what success will come with this newest album drop. – Kait Starr
String Cheese Incident
When: June 20 – 22
Cost: $50-55 per night; Get tickets here.
The Lowdown: The String Cheese Incident has reserved a three-night run at Red Rocks on a weekend in July every summer. Come sun, a light sprinkle or a torrential downpour, these jam band heroes will give the absolute best they've got to their devoted fans in those six sets of music. What makes this band stand out from their peers is how each member brings an entirely different sound. Kyle Hollingsworth is the funk master, Billy Nershi is a bluegrass man, Jason Hann loves electronic. All in one show you'll hear elements of each — plus reggae, rock, latin and more. Opening the shows will be JJ Grey and Mofro on Friday, The Main Squeeze on Saturday and Rising Appalachia on Sunday.
When: July 13 – 14
The Lowdown: The one-man electronic extravaganza known as GRiZ is back at Red Rocks for a two-night run on the Rocks. On one of those nights, GRiZ is bringing company — his live band. Last year, the DJ re-released his 2016 album, Good Will Prevail, but in re-mixed form. Remixes were once upon a time quite popular, and GRiZ brought a new and improved version of the concept to his fans with the hugely innovative Good Will Continue. These couple of mid-July shows will be a hot and sweaty dance party that, in years past, have exceeded even the highest of expectations.
Yonder Mountain String Band
Courtesy of Yonder Mountain String Band on Facebook
When: August 4
The Lowdown: One of Boulder's favorite bluegrass band Yonder Mountain String Band returns to the Red Rocks stage in early August with a lineup that has been official since 2015. With mandolinist Jake Joliff's incendiary skill and fiddle player Allie Kral's feminine charisma, the two most recent additions have allowed the band to hone their individual talents and become a better band. A witty banter and repertoire will only add to an evening of performances from some of the genre's greatest talents.
Photo by Alden Bonecutter
When: August 22 – 23
The Lowdown: He's easily the biggest name on this list, which is why Colorado Governor Hickenlooper even declared December 17 Nathanial Rateliff & The Night Sweats Day. Rateliff, along with his five-man band, returns to headline Red Rocks for two nights of his hugely popular folk-rock sound in the middle of an expansive world tour. These shows are sure to sell out, so we suggest guaranteeing your spot by purchasing early.
Slim Cessna's Auto Club
Courtesy of Slim Cessna's Auto Club on Facebook
When: August 23
the Lowdown: Fearless leader Slim Cessna is known for sporting his white cowboy hat to accompany his well-grown beard and horn-rimmed glasses, and is the face of this all-male modern rock band. Slim Cessna's Auto Club is a hot commodity, booked solid in the US, U.K. and Europe from now through mid-September. Don't miss your chance to see them live this summer.

Cost: Sold out.
The Lowdown: One of the electronic and dance genres newest rising stars, Illenium provides not just the music but an entirely sensual experience to his audiences. The producer's shows include cutting-edge lighting and visuals to fully stimulate his fans, which has quickly gained him a hot reputation amongst his fellow EDM players. In just two years, Illenium landed the number one spot on iTunes for the electronic album chart and hit 10 million plays in under one month for his remix of The Chainsmokers' "Don't Let Me Down." The moral of this story? Find tickets and go.
Big Gigantic. Photo by Kiddest Metaferia.
When: September 28 – 29
Cost: $115 for a two-day pass; Get tickets here.
The Lowdown: As the event's title boasts, this is the seventh annual "Rowdytown," brought to you by Boulder's own Big Gigantic. The duo —which consists of saxophonist Dominic Lalli and drummer Jeremy Salken — hosts two nights each summer at the legendary venue. This year's supporting lineup has yet to be announced, but RowdyTown VI saw Keys N Krates, Slushii, Pell, Big Wild, Whethan and Maddy O'Neal. Big Gigantic have proven their mastery of the cross-over between instrumental and electronic, which makes them quite a unique pair and this show is one not to miss.
Gregory Alan Isakov
When: September 30
The Lowdown: Though he was born in South Africa, Gregory Alan Isakov now calls Colorado his home. It's only fitting that his latest album was recorded with the Colorado Symphony, in support of what many refer to as his "lyrical genius." The indie-folk musician will be one of the last shows on the docket for Red Rocks' summer concert season, so do not miss out.
The Colorado Symphony Orchestra
Courtesy of the Colorado Symphony on Facebook
When: Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2 on May 31; With Seal on July 15; With Sarah McLachlan on July 26.
Cost: $30-70 on May 31; Get tickets here. $45-90 on July 15; Get tickets here. $50-130 on July 6; Get tickets here.
The Lowdown: These few shows are going to be pretty epic. If classical music is your thing, May 31 is your chance to experience it outside of your typical music hall and to witness it whilst overlooking the Front Range from your perch on the rocks. Both July dates will be in support of music icons, R&B superstar Seal and angelic singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan. Tickets are pricey, but these performances will be worth it.

A new report by Nanigans, an ad platform based on optimization for ROI, states that retail advertisers who have campaigns on Facebook have experienced a 152% ROI in 2013, on average. This is almost a 4-time increase from figures just a year ago. The report findings are based on 200 billion Facebook ads. The highest clickthrough rate platform is from ads served to users on a computer (versus a tablet or phone). 2013 CTR for Facebook ads served on "desktop" format have increased 375% when compared to 2012.
In addition to experiencing a higher CTR, nanigans also reported that retail advertisers experienced an average lower cost per click in 2013 when compared to 2012. In Quarter 3 of 2012, the average CPC was $0.62, compared to $0.45 in Quarter 3 of 2013.
The nanigans report also gave some interesting insight into the CTR and ROI when comparing Facebook advertising on Android and iOS (iPhone). Facebook ads shown on Facebook experience an explosive 162% ROI, but just a 1.25% CTR. Conversely, Android Facebook ads had a -10% ROI, but a 2.73% CTR.
To put these comparison figures into percentages, as VentureBeat did, Facebook advertising ROI is 1,790% more on iOS than Android. The complete report can be downloaded via the Nanigans website.
While these statistics seem almost unbelievable, a sample size of 200 billion provides data that can't be ignored.

Leyla McCalla: A Day for the Hunter, A Day for the Prey
September 5, 2016 By guillaume
Born in New-York, raised in New-Jersey and relocating to New Orleans in 2010, Leyla McCalla is a young Haitian American singer songwriter accompanying herself on the cello, banjo and guitar. Following a remarkable first album (Vari-Colored Songs – 2014) which revisited the words of African American poet Langston Hughes with new original music, the musician returns with a new collection released on Jazz Village in May 2016 last. As illustrated by the cover photographs, A Day for the Hunter, A Day for the Prey is firmly rooted in the bayous of Louisiana. All the songs on the album reveal a constant quest for the musician's own identity and further explore the cultural links between the Southern State and the French Caribbean traditions. Singing in English, French and Creole, the album features covers, new compositions and traditional Haitian songs.
Leyla McCalla – A Day for the Hunter, A Day for the Prey (2016)
In addition to her guitar and banjo playing, Leyla McCalla's unconventional use of the cello transpires even further on the album where she alternates between traditional bowing techniques, plucking the strings like a guitar or using the cello as a purely rhythmic instrument on the title track.
Elsewhere on the album, the musician and her backing band (banjo, triangle, fiddle and viola, bass) navigate effortlessly between the various idioms making up the rich Louisiana musical tapestry with uncluttered arrangements of Cajun songs, Zydeco music, traditional Creole songs of Haitian origins and contemporary folk-style compositions. The use of the sousaphone throughout (the brass instrument commonly played by marching bands) or of the cornet on "Fey-O" and "Minis Azaka" further anchor Leyla McCalla's music in a New Orleans soundscape. Prestigious guests such as Rihannon Giddens or Marc Ribot among others also lend vocals or electric guitar on "Manman" and "Peze Café" respectively.
But more importantly, the choice of covers on the album places a strong emphasis on the significant influence of several Black, Louisiana Creole or French Caribbean musicians on the regional repertoires and styles of the American Deep South and by extension on her own music.
There is a magnificent reprise of American singer songwriter Ella Jenkins's "Little Sparrow", a song that originally appeared on Rhythms of Childhood (1963) or a cover of "Vietnam", a song from folk blues singer songwriter Abner Jay (1921 – 1993). The album also features compositions from two Creole fiddle players – Canray Fontenot (1922 – 1995) and Joseph "Bébé" Carrière (1908 – 2011) – both stalwarts of the rural Zydeco styles. Then harking back to her own roots, Leyla McCalla revisits several traditional Haitian songs such as the superb "Peze Café" or an original composition from Haitian singer songwriter and political activist Manno Charlemagne ("Manman").
As for the title track of the album, A Day for the Hunter, A Day for the Prey borrows its title from both a Haitian proverb and a book by American ethnomusicologist Gage Averill published in 1997. In A Day for the Hunter, A day for the Prey – Popular Music and Power in Haiti, the author explores the complex interplay between popular music, power and politics in Haiti throughout the 20th century.
I wrote the song thinking about Haitian boat people, refugees who travel by boat from Haiti to the United States, and the vulnerability and desperation of that position. Even though that's a specific source of inspiration, we're seeing the same struggle with the Syrians heading to Greece and we've been seeing it all over the world for a long time. I felt that this proverb really captures the essence of the Haitian spirit, which to me is very linked to the struggle for human rights and political sovereignty. Leyla McCalla – NPR interview
More than a selection of folk songs, Leyla McCalla's A Day for the Hunter, A Day for the Prey subtly tracks the legacy of Haiti's post-colonial independence struggles and its cultural echoes in the United States and further afield.
