Chris —, winner of the US Open women's singles tennis championship from 1975-78 (5)

I believe the answer is:

evert

(Other definitions for evert that I've seen before include "Turn aside or outwards" , "Turn inside out (biol.)" , "arrange to have the wrong side out?" , "Hitter of 6 [TENNIS BALL]" , "Tennis champion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
