Matt Roush says...
Tennis fans love a good rivalry. (Latest example: the thrilling gold-medal Olympics match between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz.) Few were as juicy or as enduring as the 80-match back-and-forth between America’s sweetheart Chris Evert and brash Czech-born refugee Martina Navratilova in the late 1970s and 1980s. The final episode of this terrific sports docuseries charts the top-ranked players’ battle for supremacy, colored by Navratilova’s painful personal history as a political refugee who was outed as gay soon after earning her U.S. citizenship. Navratilova’s yearning for acceptance on the world stage fueled her desire to keep playing, with her eye on a historic ninth Wimbledon win in 1990. The record still holds.
