Martina Navratilova dominated the women’s circuit right from the moment she turned pro and went on to become one of the most decorated players in the sport. Born and brought up in Czechoslovakia, Navratilova moved to the United States owing to the deteriorating political situation in her native country.

It proved to be a turning point in her career, with a major chunk of her Grand Slam titles coming while playing for the United States. After her retirement from all formats in 2006, she has continued her journey in tennis as a commentator and pundit while also giving her expert opinions in talk shows and interviews. During one such interview, she once reminisced about a bizarre incident that forced her to miss a Lady Gaga concert.

But I missed the Lady Gaga concert.”
