Earlier in the year she become the first player in Open era to win every Slam event available when she won the 2003 Australian Open Mixed Doubles title also with Leander Paes (ie. Ladies' Singles, Ladies' Doubles and Mixed Doubles in all four Grand Slam events). In total she has won 58 Grand Slam titles in all. Navratilova's victory at the 2003 Championships alongside Paes also meant that she equalled Billie Jean King's record number of 20 Wimbledon titles. Navratilova has had to come through personal trauma. The Czech defected from her native land to settle in the United States as a sensitive teenager, a little heartbroken, a little lonely. A junk food diet and the effect it had on her body reflected her inner turmoil. Later, she came under pressure concerning her sexuality. But she has been able to hold the negatives at bay and combined her pragmatic side with her passion as a player. Her fitness regimes alone revolutionised women's tennis as she developed a powerful attacking game, full of variety and just about perfect for Wimbledon. It was certainly enough to overtake American rival Chris Evert.

MARTINA NAVRATILOVA Tennis Player The dominant women's tennis player of her time, Martina Navratilova won every grand slam singles title at least twice: Wimbledon (a record nine times), the Australian Open (three), the French Open (two) and the U.S. Open (four). Left-handed, sinewy and athletic, she helped bring a new era of power into the traditionally more finesse-minded women's game. Her many matches with former world #1 Chris Evert were particularly famous. Navratilova retired from professional tennis in 1994, but in 2000 returned to occasional action in mixed doubles. By winning the mixed doubles title at the 2003 Australian Open (with Leander Paes of India) she became the first player since Margaret Court to win the singles, doubles and mixed doubles at all four grand slam tournaments. Extra credit : Navratilova and Paes won mixed doubles at Wimbledon in 2003, giving her a total of 20 Wimbledon titles...

Subscribe Shop Advertise Commerce ... sports : Martina Navratilova: Hitting 40 Love Martina Navratilova: Hitting 40 Love Written by: Diane Anderson-Minshall Order this Issue of Curve: Martina Navratilova passes 40, finds “’till death do us part” love, and makes a million bucks for dyke charities. Sports fans know Martina Navratilova for her 25 years of grinding tennis play. She holds the women’s all-time record for singles championships. In the mid-1980s, she was the top ranking female tennis player for all but a few weeks. She dominated Wimbledon, winning six consecutive singles titles, four U.S. Open singles championships, and scores of doubles titles. In 1992, Navratilova won her 158th professional tennis title at the Virginia Slims and set a record for career singles championships. The next year, she toppled Monica Seles in the Paris Open and established yet another record, becoming the oldest person to beat a No. 1 player in professional tennis. Now, almost a decade later, Navratilova’s championship numbers have continued to rise on the courts — even in her semiretirement — but times have changed and people are flocking more often to see upstarts like Venus Williams rule the court. Navratilova’s fan base, however, has continued to grow — broadened from the sports aficionados to a whole new generation of young women, progressive men, and queer activists who are energized by her pro-female advertising, dyke visibility, and earnest fund-raising for gay and lesbian causes. Spread across America are also the newest fans — the little old ladies who know her only as “the woman from the Subaru commercial.” That’s OK with the muscle-bound, Czech-born legend. She too has changed. Gone are the heady days and turbulent relationships that made tabloid headlines (Judy Nelson, Rita Mae Brown). She’s just an average over-40 lesbian with a lifetime companion and a couple of dogs who keep her on her toes. (“The dog is not quite capable of listening to commands,” she groans, stopping the interview to scold.) Nowadays, she’s as likely to talk about Golda Meir (the Russian-born former prime minister of Israel) or Shannen Doherty’s role on “Charmed” as she is to discuss the intricacies of the U.S. Open. (Just don’t get her started on “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.”)
