Yes, Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova Do Have a Netflix Documentary Together — Here's What It Covers

The claim is true. Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova do have a documentary together on Netflix, released in 2023 and titled 'Chris Evert & Martina Navratilova: Our Rivalry, Our Friendship.' This is not rumor or fan speculation — it is a real, streamable film available directly on Netflix.

The documentary covers the two tennis icons' 80 competitive matches against each other, a rivalry that defined women's tennis across the 1970s and 80s. But it goes well beyond the scorecards. According to The Guardian, the film digs into the deep personal friendship the two built off the court — a relationship that outlasted their competitive years by decades.

Variety described the documentary as an intimate portrait, and that word 'intimate' is earned. The film also addresses both women's recent cancer diagnoses — Evert's battle with ovarian cancer and Navratilova's throat and breast cancer — giving it weight beyond sports nostalgia. It becomes a story about resilience, mortality, and what it means to have a true rival who is also a true friend.

There is no meaningful counter-evidence here. Netflix lists the title directly, and multiple major outlets covered its release. This is one of those cases where the 'claim' is simply a true fact circulating online.

Why does confusion arise at all? Partly because the pairing sounds almost too good to be true — two legends, a famous rivalry, a heartfelt friendship, and a cancer storyline all in one film. When something feels like a perfect story, people sometimes assume it must be exaggerated or fabricated. It isn't. If you see this claim, you can share it with confidence.
