Martina Navratilova was at the top of her game in the 70s and 80s. After her retirement from tennis, Navratilova turned commentator for BBC, giving her valuable insights into the game. Additionally, she regularly talks about various other issues prevalent in society. Recently, she reacted to the new venture by golfing superstars.

The 80s was a golden era for American tennis that saw players such as Chris Evert and Navratilova turning into legends of the sport. The two dominated women’s tennis during that period and often found each other on the opposite ends of the court in the finals of big tournaments.
