Chris Evert clarifies "mean" comment on Martina Navratilova's tweet ft. Donald Trump and Joe Biden

A recent interaction on Twitter among tennis greats Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova caught the public eye due to a misunderstanding involving a tweet concerning Donald Trump and President Joe Biden.

The sequence of events kicked off when Martina Navratilova shared a video on Twitter showing Donald Trump engaging in various sports.

In the video, Trump's attempt at tennis and baseball didn't quite hit the mark, prompting Navratilova to comment on Trump's athletic abilities.

The video concludes with a clip of Trump hitting a golf ball, which then transitions to scenes of the ball hitting President Joe Biden in various situations. Navratilova found humor in the clip, tweeting:

"This is funny- neither tennis ball he hit went in, the pitch bounced before it got to the plate and they call him a legend? A pathetic athlete is what he is. Pathetic."

Evert, in turn, retweeted Navratilova's tweet, expressing her thoughts on the video, especially the part involving Biden, writing:

"That last part is just…….mean…."

Navratilova responded, saying:

"Lol. Truth hurts…"

Evert, feeling the need to clarify her stance, tweeted again to explain that her comment was not directed at Navratilova’s take, but rather at the video depicting President Biden. In her tweet, she said:

"I meant the Pres. Biden video, not your comment!!!😂😂😂"

The dialogue didn’t end there. To put any misunderstandings to rest, the 68-year-old tweeted once more, elaborating on her previous statements. She posted:

"I would like to straighten something out! My comment of “ that’s….mean”, was NOT in reference to the @Martina tweet, but the tweet she was replying to, showing President Biden falling …THAT was mean!!! I❤️Martina!"

Chris Evert ensured to clear the air regarding her comments, showing her respect and friendly rapport with Navratilova.
