Los Angeles (dpa) - Tennis legend Chris Evert, 51, is to divorce her husband of 18 years, Andy Mill, People Magazine reported Friday.

The report said that Evert filed for divorce from the former Olympic skier and award-winning sport fisherman in Broward County, Florida.

The couple have three sons, ages 15, 12 and 10 and announced their split last month, calling the decision "mutual."

"Our main concern is for our three sons. We know we have some difficult times ahead, together and apart, and hope that our family's privacy will be respected," the couple said in a statement.

The marriage was the second for both - Evert was divorced from English tennis star John Lloyd in 1987 after an eight-year marriage.
