American tennis legends Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert have been left unimpressed with the poster for a tennis documentary for its bizarre portrayal of the two players. The documentary series titled ‘Gods of Tennis’ was released last year. However, Navratilova came across the promo poster recently as it was aired on Tango TV and was left unimpressed by its wrong portrayal of her and Evert’s playing styles.

The 67-year-old took a sarcastic dig at the creators and pointed out the ambiguity in the poster. The American tennis legend highlighted that it showed the two players playing with the wrong hand.
