Martina Navratilova was one of the top performers of her time. The intensity and muscle power of her was intense. In the clip, we can see Navratilova in the middle of a match.

The racket landed side on and didn’t fall back to the ground. Astonished with the landing herself, Navratilova raised both her arms to soak in the applause from the crowd.

Martina Navratilova has never been a fan of comparing tennis players of different generations. Recently when Serena Williams retired, she echoed similar emotions about the GOAT debate. While many understood that Navratilova refrained from calling Serena the GOAT because she considers it to be herself. However, Navratilova’s recent interaction with one of her own fans makes it clear that she is not a biased person.
