I had no idea who I was, or what I could be away from tennis,” says Chris Evert, recalling the final years of her career. “I was depressed and afraid because so much of my life had been defined by my being a tennis champion.

I needed the wins, the applause, in order to have an identity. - Chris Evert, retired tennis star, Good Housekeeping, October 1990, pp. 87-88.
