Chris Evert has responded to Stephen King's past statement, in which the renowned author claimed that Donald Trump is "worse than any horror story" he has ever written.
Stephen King frequently expressed his concern over former US President Donald Trump having access to nuclear weapons. King made the 'horror story' statement amid Trump's alarming rhetoric on nuclear weapons while he was in office, which caused widespread unease among the public.
King has been a vocal and unwavering critic of the former President, specifically in regards to his lack of financial transparency. He was among a multitude of esteemed authors who signed an open letter denouncing Trump during his election campaign.
On Sunday, April 30, Chris Evert took to social media to express her support for King's statement.
"Now that’s a statement!" Evert tweeted.
"I wish maybe that I could have savored the moment a little bit more" – When Chris Evert confessed to lacking emotions during tennis retirement
Chris Evert was widely recognized for her composed demeanor during matches, which earned her the nickname "The Ice Maiden." Her unflappable personality on the court was a defining feature of her playing style, and it was a key factor in her success.
At the young age of 16, Chris Evert made her Grand Slam debut at the 1971 US Open. She put in a remarkable performance, becoming the youngest semi-finalist in the history of the US Open. Evert's run only came to an end when she faced the eventual winner, Billie Jean King.
The 18-time Grand Slam champion maintained a composed demeanor even during her retirement, which came at the 1989 US Open. However, upon reflecting on the day of her retirement, Evert admitted to regretting her subdued approach.
"I retired at the U.S. Open. It’s like I just waved and walked off the court and that was it. So, I thought it was pretty low-key," she said in an interview some time back. "I wish maybe that I could have savored the moment a little bit more and really looked at the fans and maybe been a little more emotional about it and felt a little bit more."
Evert has previously revealed that her on-court demeanor is not similar to her real-life personality. She has freely admitted that her father and coach, Jimmy Evert, advised her to adopt a more assertive and intimidating approach to gain a psychological advantage over her opponents.
