Martina Navratilova

Amol Rajan sits down with Martina Navratilova to discuss the multiple challenges she overcame to become one of the greatest tennis players in history.

Now 68, Navratilova won a record-breaking nine Wimbledon singles titles, spent 332 weeks as world number one, and was part of one of the most famous rivalries in the history of sport with Chris Evert.

Her aggressive style and athleticism paved the way for the likes of Steffi Graf and later Serena Williams. But as Amol’s conversation reveals, her life off the court is equally remarkable.
