"I have great kids and I'm where I want to be right now. I want to be at home being a mum ... not travelling, and I'm where I should be in my life right now," The Daily Telegraph quoted 54-year-old Evert, who has been married thrice, as saying.

Evert said during her stellar tennis career, which included 18 Grand Slam singles titles, she was "self-absorbed", but that changed after she retired and started a family.
"I think that I realised that my life as a tennis pro was very self-absorbed, and it was all about me and it was all about what do I need to do to be number one in the world and what do I need with my training?" she told WPTV.
