Multiple USSR tennis champion Olga Morozova said in an interview with that American Chris Evert was the most difficult opponent in her career.
Morozova lost to Evert in the French Open and Wimbledon singles finals in 1974. In the same season, the athletes won Roland Garros in doubles. The following year, the Soviet tennis player, associated with the American Julie Anthony, lost against Evert and Martina Navratilova in the final of Roland Garros.
— Do you often feel nostalgic about your professional career? What is your most memorable memory?
— All players dreamed of playing at Wimbledon. I remember very well the moment I beat Billie Jean King in London. It was one of my best matches, and most importantly, I won it.
— Is King the strongest opponent you have played against?
— There are players you want to play with, and there are those you are disgusted with. I hated playing with Evert. She’s a great player, she was constantly beating me, it was always difficult with her on the court. And so, we even won together in France in doubles,” Morozova told .
