Publisher's Synopsis
This book collects 250 stories about good deeds, including this one: Professional tennis player Chris Evert was gracious both in victory and in defeat. In 1977, before defeating young Tracy Austin 6-1, 6-1, in the 14-year-old's first appearance at Wimbledon, Ms. Evert taught her how to curtsy before the Royal Box. In 1979, the then 16-year-old Tracy defeated Ms. Evert to win the United States Open, thus ending Ms. Evert's streak of four straight U.S. Open championships. Of course, Tracy was excited and jumped with excitement. Ms. Evert responded to her loss not with attitude but by patting Tracy on the head.
