    The first time Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova stepped onto a tennis court together, the world scarcely noticed. Only a few hundred spectators saw the pert 18-year-old beat the scrappy 16-year-old Czech in 1973. “I remember that she was fat,” Evert recalled. “She was very emotional on the court, whining if she didn't feel she was playing well. But I remember thinking, if she loses weight, we’re all in trouble.” Said Navratilova, “My goal was for her to remember my name.” Eighty matches later – amid the extraordinary growth of women’s tennis – Evert not only remembered, but became a tried and true friend and confidante, remarkable considering the two appeared to be polar opposites in upbringing, life styles and personal relationships. Through a series of personal conversations, this documentary will tell the story of one of the greatest one-on-one sports rivalries and capture these two extraordinary athletes’ views on tennis and an ever-changing world.

    Alabama head coach Patrick Murphy had never seen a group like those who joined the Crimson Tide in 2009.

The group was so special, Coach Murphy predicted they’d win a national championship – something he had yet to accomplish despite reaching the NCAA Women’s College World Series seven times. Would Alabama become the first school from the Southeastern Conference to win a national title in softball? Would the SEC’s newest sports team find victory in a landscape dominated by the West Coast? “BAMA SB” is a story about the power of friendship, grit, and selflessness.
