Washington, November 3: Ace golfer Greg Norman has revealed that his marriage to ex-tennis champion Chris Evert has been much “better than expected”.

The Aussie pro said, during his wife''s 19th annual Chris Evert/Raymond James Pro-Celebrity Tennis Classic in Delray Beach, that it has been a little over four months since he tied the knot, and the marriage had given him much more than he hoped for.

“The marriage is better than I expected. We have a mutual respect for each other, and I love taking her a cup of coffee each morning,” People magazine quoted him as saying.

"We are compatible and like many of the same things,” says Norman, 53. "It is easy to be happy," he added.

Ex-wife of the 53-year-old, who held the title of world’s number one ranked golfer in the 1980’s and 1990’s, had recently blamed his friendship with Evert as the root cause of the break up of their marriage. (ANI)
