Martina flying solo once again
April 8, 2004 Print this article Email to a friend Single woman: Navratilova. Amelia Island, Florida: She used to be the enemy, all muscled and menacing, too dominant to be embraced by the masses. But at 47, Martina Navratilova is now loved as an age-defying anomaly in a sport so defined by its youth. Navratilova won the Wimbledon and Australian Open mixed doubles titles last year along with seven doubles victories on the WTA Tour. But her singles career was thought to be long over. She had played just one tournament in the past 10 years, in 2002 in Eastbourne, England. The public apparently wanted to know - the tournament set a record for Tuesday ticket sales. But the answer was not yet. Navratilova lost in the opening round, 1-6, 6-3, 6-2 to 23-year-old Milagros Sequera, who is ranked No.83 in the world. Navratilova dominated the first set, but faded as the Venezuelan forced her to run the court. Asked if she would walk away feeling good about her game, Navratilova said: "I walk away; that was good. I don't get taken out on a stretcher. Where I lost it was mentally. It was hard to keep the concentration going."

"Der Ball weiß nicht, wie alt ich bin"
… trotzdem ist 2004 definitiv ihr letztes Jahr auf der Tour. Im tennis magazin-Interview plaudert Martina Navratilova über ihren Traum vom perfekten Abschied, die fehlende professionelle Einstellung vieler Spieler und ein Leben ohne Tennis.
Mrs. Navratilova, 2003 war ein tolles Jahr für Sie. Sie gewannen zwei Grand Slam-Turniere im Mixed. Haben Sie diesen Erfolg erwartet?
Navratilova: Man erwartet gar nichts. Wenn ich zurückschaue, denke ich, die ersten drei Jahre meiner Karriere hätten sportlich besser laufen können. Aber ich hätte nie gedacht, dass ich zur Zeit so gut spiele. Ich will vor allem Spaß haben, genießen. Wenn ich etwas nicht genieße, gibt es keinen Grund, es zu tun.

Martina Navratilova
Born:
October 18, 1956 Prague, Czechoslovakia
Personal:
"I learned my lesson from my mother at an early age: sports are good for young women. It's good to compete, good to run, good to sweat, good to get dirty, good to feel tired and healthy and refreshed. We had no idea of tomboys-there's no word for it in the Czech language. Women played sports and had families and jobs. That simple. My mother was my role model." from Martina "I'm sure playing tennis made me more independent, more self-confident, because I could do some things better than other people-but affect my sexuality? I don't see it." from Martina "I was used in a TIME magazine cover story about the new concept of feminity-the idea being that today's women are in shape, not just shapely, that having muscles is all right. There I was, forearms and all, right next to Olivia Newton John." from Martina "My image definitely hurts me at times. It was no accident that I was never on the cover of Sports Illustrated until I won the 1983 US Open. I had already won everything else in tennis, but the corporate big shots would rather have a model in a bathing suit on the cover than the best woman tennis player in the world because they sell their magazine to men, and they think they know what sells. Or take Sports Illustrated's Sportwoman or Sportsman of the Year honor. In 1983 I won three of four events in the Grand Slam, losing only one match all year, but they gave the top award to Mary Decker, the track star. Nothing against Mary Decker, a fantastic athlete who had a great season, but I thought they could have given it to me just as well.

A Great Teacher This book is wonderful. I already "knew" how to play bridge, but I am taking a beginner course, and this is the book for the course. Now I am REALLY learning how to play. The writing is clear, she really stresses what's important, the exercises are fun not boring and support the material beautifully. She really is a great teacher more than just a writer. Excellent for the Beginner and the Seasoned Player This would be a great textbook in bidding for the bridge beginner. I have played bridge for years, and found it to be an excellent resource. Until reading this book, most of my bridge training was "seat of the pants". This book is very structured and really helped me to put together all of the bidding nuances that I was unclear about.

Kindred's Favorite Athletes: No. 3, Martina Navratilova
MAY 26, 1999
by DAVE KINDRED The Sporting News
Because I'd written about Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert, an editor decided the headline should be "Fire and Ice." The editor counted Martina as the fire, Chris the ice. Truth is, both women fit both descriptions. Small wonder they gave to tennis a rivalry unmatched before or since. For no good reason other than drama, I always thought Navratilova was the better story. How much more drama can you have in a life than to be an 18-year-old homosexual Czech leaving behind your parents to defect to the United States during the 1976 U.S. Open tennis tournament in New York City? The more I saw her play and the more I heard her speak, the more I came to admire her not only as an athlete but as a person. She wore her heart on her sleeve, and what a heart it was, at work inside a fabulous athlete who was as brilliant, honest and bold off the court as on. So on the millennium's-coming list of My Five Favorite Athletes, Navratilova is No. 3. And the least of it is her tennis, though the tennis was inimitable. From 1978 to 1990, she won 18 Grand Slam singles championships nine Wimbledons, four U.S. Opens, three Australian Opens, two French Opens. She met Evert in 13 Grand Slam finals, winning nine times.
