She was just 16 when she first reached the semi-finals of the US Open and 19 when she won her first grand slam tournament.

She did not expect Norman to try to rekindle his romance with her, his first wife. When you just can’t live for five minutes without the other person," she said. "But being with Chris is what Greg wanted. "Both he and Chris are adults and they were supposed to know what they were doing, but they were in the throes of lust and weren't thinking (when they got married). Norman's ex-wife Laura Andrassy last night said she felt sorry for Evert's three sons, but said Norm,an and Evert had rushed to exchange wedding vows. "But there must've been more to it than that." "My daughter's very warm, they were used to that," Ms Andrassy Sr said. The children had told their grandmother they were having trouble warming to Evert, who has three children, aged 13-17, with former husband, ski champ Andy Mill. She did not want to be part of that family so she moved to California." "He is very close to Morgan - he's very, very sensitive with his children and he loves her very much. Ms Andrassy Sr said Norman was a devoted dad who had always been close to the kids, and good to her.

Mill, 56, said he and Evert, 55, remain in touch for the sake of their children, Alex, 17, Nicky, 15, and Colton, 13. "I just feel really badly for these two families, thinking about the destruction in the wake of what they've done," Mill said.
