When Chris Evert, who was the world's No. 1 female player at the time, met John Lloyd, a shy Brit with a career-high ranking of 21st, at the All England Club in 1978, opposites attracted. They married a year later and were embraced as the golden couple of tennis by the media. After a few years of marriage, a separation and a short-lived reconciliation, Evert and Lloyd divorced in 1987. Despite being offered lots of money from British tabloids looking for Lloyd to trash his former wife, he never spoke out about difficulties in their marriage.
