Martina Navratilova is one of the biggest names in women’s tennis. The 65-year-old has won almost all the biggest prizes in the game while dominating most of her opponents. She has also reigned supreme at Wimbledon, winning a stunning 9 Championships in her career.

Nowadays, as a tennis analyst and human rights activist, she continues to contribute even after her retirement from the sport.

Martina Navratilova hits out at a fan on Twitter

Navratilova is an active user of social media, keeping her fans updated from time to time. Replying to a graphic by Sportskeeda Tennis, the 18-time Grand Slam winner said, “And Billie Jean has 6- you would think they would get these pretty basic numbers down correctly.”

This was after she hit back at a fan who wrote that legend Billie-Jean King was a 6-time Wimbledon champion, but not in the Open Era. “So this guy posts tennis stuff and doesn’t let me answer? Ok then.” Former rival Chris Evert also replied to the discrepancy in the graphic. It stated that Evert had only won at the All-England Club on two occasions. “Well, my memory might not be laser sharp, but I think I won 3; pls don’t take one away from me!!!,” she said.
