Tennis legend Chris Evert recently reacted to a child writing to President Joe Biden urging him to ensure there is equal pay for women.
Equal Pay Day was observed on March 14 and a child named Charlotte sent Joe Biden a letter in which they wrote that the concept of men getting more money than women was bizarre and that Biden should fix the issue since he is the president.
"Dear president Biden, I just wanted to tell something not fair to ladies. Men are getting more money than girls. I think you should fix this since you are the president. Even I am a child and I think we should do something," the letter read.
Joe Biden posted the letter on Twitter, writing that he is aware of the gender and racial wage gaps and is committed to building an economy in which daughters have the same opportunities as sons.
"Charlotte, I couldn’t agree more. Women lose thousands of dollars each year, and hundreds of thousands over a lifetime, because of gender and racial wage gaps," he said.
"I’m committed to building an economy where my daughters have the same rights and opportunities as my sons," he added.
In light of this, Chris Evert took to Twitter to praise Charlotte for the sensitive remarks, writing:
"Love this; well done, Charlotte!"
Chris Evert recalls a valuable piece of advice her father gave her when she was a child
Chris Evert recently recalled a valuable piece of advice her late father and coach Jimmy Evert gave her when she was a child.
In a video from 2021, the American can be seen discussing her father's advice, which came when she was 12 years old and started "cussing" and breaking rackets.
Seeing this, her father advised her not to show any emotion to her opponent, as doing so would give them the impression that they had the upper hand.
"I was practicing about 12 years old and I started cussing and broke a couple of rackets and my dad, who was my coach was on the court and he said 'If you show your opponent that you are upset, they are gonna be really happy about that and they are gonna go uh-huh, I have her'. He goes, 'Don't show your opponent any emotion and I promise you that will give you like two games a set'," she said.
She also revealed the origin of her nickname, 'The Ice Maiden', saying it came after she followed her father's advice and built a reputation for being composed on the court.
"Once I was that way, it came easy to me. Everybody expected me to be that way, so then I had an image and I was dubbed 'The Ice Maiden'. So then, of course, I couldn't come out of my bubble and all of a sudden be flamboyant and expressive and throw my racket," Evert said.
Chris Evert recently shared the video on Twitter, stating that she still believes it was good advice.
"I still think this was good advice!!!" she wrote.
