Evert’s 18 major singles titles include seven at Roland Garros. She won at least one major in every year from 1974 through 1986, giving her case an unusually clear measure of repeated success. Her place asks readers to consider how often excellence returns, rather than only the height of one winning run.
She beats Court on the larger Open Era major record and that sustained sequence. Navratilova gets our narrow edge between the two 18-title rivals for No.1 longevity and Wimbledon supremacy. Clay-focused readers have a credible reason to swap them: Evert’s Paris record is central evidence, not a footnote.
