Martina Navratilova points out a huge mess up by The Guardian

The Guardian has a tv and radio section in which it posts about upcoming shows. One such show that has caught the attention of people is Gods of Tennis which will soon be live on BBC Two. The episodes focus on how tennis players rose to victory and it also discusses various tournaments and the experience various players had during the time.

To promote the show, The Guardian posted a feature photo in which many players can be seen posing. It is clearly an edited image, but the worst part is that it is a wrongly edited image. Martina Navratilova is left-handed, and in the image, is shown as right-handed. Similarly, Chris Evert is right-handed and is shown as left-handed by them. A mistake like this is not an appropriate way to catch the limelight for the show.
