The Extraordinary Martina Navratilova
Martina Navratilova is often hailed as the greatest female tennis player ever. Her remarkable career boasts 18 Grand Slam singles titles and an impressive 40 Grand Slam doubles titles.
Born on October 18, 1956, in Czechoslovakia, Navratilova made a life-changing decision at the age of 18 by defecting to the United States in 1975, ultimately gaining US citizenship in 1981. Originally named Martina Subertova, her parents' divorce at her age of three led her to adopt the surname of her stepfather, Miroslav Navratil, who became her first tennis coach. She later added the feminine suffix "ova."
By 15, Navratilova had already made a name for herself in tennis, winning the Czechoslovakian national championship in 1972. She turned professional at 16 and secured her first singles victory in Orlando, Florida, in 1974.
Renowned for her powerful left-handed serve-and-volley style, Navratilova's exceptional skills elevated women's tennis to new heights. Early in her career, she faced criticism for being overweight but, showing immense determination, she transformed her fitness regimen. This high-level conditioning became a defining feature of her game.
In 1978, Navratilova claimed her first Grand Slam singles title at Wimbledon, defeating Chris Evert in a thrilling three-set match. This victory propelled her to the top of the women's rankings as the world's number one player. The following year, she defeated Evert again in the Wimbledon finals.
In 1981, Navratilova secured her third Grand Slam singles title at the Australian Open, once more triumphing over Evert. Her successes continued in 1982 with wins at both Wimbledon and the French Open.
By the mid-1980s, Navratilova was dominating the women's tennis scene. After a loss at the 1983 French Open, she went on to win Wimbledon, the US Open, and the Australian Open that year. Her extraordinary season ended with an astonishing 86-1 win-loss record, marking the best winning percentage in a single season for any professional tennis player.
Martina Navratilova's legacy in tennis is unparalleled, characterized by extraordinary skill, incredible drive, and a transformative impact on the sport.
