“Not at all,” said Lemigova, answering Cohen’s question. Going ahead in the conversation, she further revealed the conversation she and Martina had with the two during the finals. “We talked about my nine puppies, which were born while having lunch, watching the Wimbledon finals,” Lemigova said. “That was our conversation. About the little puppies,” she further added.
While Lemigova gave a sign of no tension between the two princesses, it was the words of Navratilova that put the seal on it. Adding on to Lemigova’s words, she said, “They were fun. They were just enjoying the game.”
