What part did legendary player Chris Evert play in the naming of the iconic wrist jewelry, the "tennis bracelet"?

While playing a match a $40,000 diamond bracelet fell off of her wrist and time had to be called while she looked for it. Most articles on the history of the tennis bracelet say the event took place at the 1987 US Open. However, as the article I have posted points out, the term "tennis bracelet" had been used in news articles before the 1987 US Open. The article theorizes that maybe the event actually took place in 1978 instead. The jewelry itself had been around since the 1920s and Christ Evert had been wearing a fancy one since the 1970s. So the exact date and time might be lost to history, though the event that popularized the name most likely did indeed happen.

The style of bracelet has been around since at least the 1920s, however the name "tennis bracelet" appears to have arrived in the 1970s. The exact origins are not clear, though Chris Evert and other players were wearing them on the court at that time, and the term stuck. She likely played a significant role in this as a high-profile player.

There is a rumour that the term arose during a famous incident when play was stopped in a 1987 US Open match so Evert could find her tennis bracelet that had flown off her hand, however this is clearly debunked by earlier references to the term. Perhaps this also played a role in highlighting the style of jewelery and further cemented the term.
