Martina Navratilova is a Czechoslovak-born American former professional tennis player and coach.

When Navratilova was four, she was hitting a tennis ball off a concrete wall and started to play tennis regularly at age seven. In 1972, at the age of 15, Navratilova won the Czechoslovakia national tennis championship. In 1973, aged 16, she made her debut on the United States Lawn Tennis Association professional tour but did not turn professional until 1975. Although perhaps most renowned for her mastery of fast low-bouncing grass, her best early showing at majors was on the red clay at the French Open, where she would go on to reach the final six times.

Navratilova won her first professional singles title in Orlando, Florida in 1974, at the age of 17.

Navratilova won her first major singles title at Wimbledon in 1978, where she defeated Chris Evert in three sets in the final and captured the world No. 1 ranking for the first time on the WTA computer, a position she held until Evert took it back in January 1979. Navratilova successfully defended her Wimbledon title in 1979, again beating Evert in the final in straight sets, and earned the World No. 1 ranking at the end of the year for the first time. In 1981, Navratilova won her third major singles title by defeating Chris Evert in the final of the Australian Open. Navratilova also defeated Evert to reach the final of the US Open, where she lost a third set tiebreak to Tracy Austin. Navratilova won both Wimbledon and the French Open in 1982.

From 1982 through 1990, she reached the Wimbledon final nine consecutive times. She reached the US Open final five consecutive times from 1983 through 1987 and appeared in the French Open final five out of six years from 1982 through 1987.

She was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2000.

[on tennis championships] There&#39;s no racism as far as I know.

[on the Williams sisters] I think that people have been treating them with kid gloves because they are African-Americans, and if they were white they would have been told off before and more. People have been afraid to criticize them because they don&#39;t want to be called racist.

Surrogacy is just wrong. Sometimes you can&#39;t have it all.

[on Richard Williams&#39;s celebration at the US Open] If Richard Williams had danced in front of me after I lost to one of his daughters in a match, I probably would have hit him. What he did at the U.S. Open was absolutely horrible. It has no place in sports or in tennis.
