Evert breaks her silence over break up with Greg Norman
November 6th, 2009 - 2:48 pm ICT by ANIFlorida (US), Nov.6 (ANI): Former US tennis champion Chris Evert has revealed that she separated from golfing great Greg Norman because she wanted to be “at home being a mum’.
Evert stepped into the public spotlight to promote her annual two-day Chris Evert/Raymond James Pro-Celebrity Tennis Classic in Florida.
Norman and Evert announced on October 2 they were separating just 15 months into their marriage.
“I’ve been through good times and bad times and have had … the press follow me around and that’s again, the price you pay and it’s fine,’ Evert told WPTV.
“I have great kids and I’m where I want to be right now. I want to be at home being a mum … not travelling, and I’m where I should be in my life right now,’ The Daily Telegraph quoted 54-year-old Evert, who has been married thrice, as saying.
Evert said during her stellar tennis career, which included 18 Grand Slam singles titles, she was “self-absorbed’, but that changed after she retired and started a family.
“I think that I realised that my life as a tennis pro was very self-absorbed, and it was all about me and it was all about what do I need to do to be number one in the world and what do I need with my training?’ she told WPTV. (ANI)
