Chris Evert served lawsuit over Boca crash

Surfer dude Miles McKnought-Smith is suing over a broken foot. Boca tennis legend Chris Evert ’s crumbling marriage to golf giant Greg Norman isn’t the only thing that’s occupying her time these days. Evert is being sued in a Palm Beach County civil court by a friend of her children injured in an outing near Evert’s Boca Raton home. According to Miami lawyer John Agnetti , several students from the chi-chi St. Andrews School in Boca, including two of Evert’s boys, were riding a golf cart and a dirt bike when a crash occurred. Agnetti’s client, Pompano youth Miles McKnought-Smith , sustained a broken foot and sued. “It seems that Ms. Evert’s home became a hangout with school children,” Agnetti said. “She has a lot of toys, and there wasn’t much adult supervision.” Agnetti said he believes Evert wasn’t at home when the crash occurred. Well-known area businessman Al Malnik , who made news in the aftermath of singer Michael Jackson ’s death, is also named in the lawsuit. He is the godfather of Jackson’s youngest son , Blanket , and owns a

property near Evert’s 5-acre, $2 million homestead in Horseshoe Acres, Boca Raton. “It’s the craziest thing,” Malnik said. “I have a fence all around my property and nobody had permission to be there.” Yet, said Malnik, his land is where the dirt-biking, 19-year-old McKnought-Smith somehow had an extra-close encounter with a golf cart allegedly operated by a minor, Ryan Logan , according to the paperwork. Evert’s boys were also present, and both vehicles are owned by the multi-Grand Slam champion. “It’s a little awkward for my client since all the kids are friends from school,” Agnetti said. Before the incident, Agnetti said, McKnought-Smith was a rising star on the pro surfing circuit under a sponsorship contract and routinely ranked nationally in the top five. He’s now fallen off the rankings. The defendants’ attorney, West Palm Beach’s David Bradley , said Evert asked him not to comment.
