Los Angeles, CA Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert's rivalry, friendship and cancer journey explored in new Netflix documentary The Final Set. Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova have been the greatest of rivals, but they became the closest of friends. The tennis greats are opening up about their more than 50-year relationship on the court and off and how they've supported one another through the toughest of times in a new documentary, Chris & Martina: The Final Set, which premieres on Netflix on June 26. Directed by two-time Emmy winner Rebecca Gitlitz, the doc closely examines the intertwined lives and careers of the tennis legends, tracing the evolution of their intense rivalry and, decades later, their shared support for each other as they underwent respective cancer treatments. "Sometimes it takes terrible things to happen for you to realize how you really feel about things," Evert, who won 18 Grand Slam singles titles in her Hall of Fame career, says in the trailer. "There’s no competition of whose cancer was worse," Navratilova adds. "We’re in the same boat." Evert and Navratilova battled each other 80 times in the 1970s and '80s, including 60 finals matches, and they transformed the way women were regarded in sports. "They shifted culture together," said director Gitlitz. "They stood at the top of the mountain together, which meant that they pushed each other nonstop." But their toughest foe turned out to be a common one: cancer. Evert, 71, was diagnosed with stage 1 ovarian cancer in 2021, a year after her sister died of the disease. Navratilova, 69, first faced breast cancer in 2010 and underwent a lumpectomy. Then in 2023, she learned her breast cancer had returned - and she also had throat cancer. “They have such a shared history and when they each got cancer, it became almost ironic that it came back to this parallel path," added Gitlitz. They began working on the documentary two and a half years ago, after Navratilova's second diagnosis, but in late 2023, after they'd begun filming, they were faced with stunning news: Evert's cancer was back. The film became even more personal and intimate as Evert allowed cameras to accompany her to doctor appointments and to film her son buzzing the last strands of her hair after chemotherapy. Both women were motivated by their cancer journeys to cooperate with the documentary, in hopes that their experiences would prompt others to get screened early and to know they aren't alone. *BACKGRID DOES NOT CLA BACKGRID UK 3 JUNE 2026,Image: 1107624510, License: Rights-managed, Restrictions: RIGHTS: WORLDWIDE EXCEPT IN UNITED STATES, Model Release: no , Pictured: Chris Evert
