One of the greatest female athletes of all time, Martina Navratilova took women’s tennis to an entirely new level with her speed, aggression, and flexibility. A left-hander with a marvelously sculpted serve-and-volley style featuring a magnificent backhand volley and a superb overhead, she amassed a record nine Wimbledon singles titles in her prime years and secured 59 majors in total. In doubles, she was majestic, winning a record 177 titles across her career and recording her last major in mixed alongside Mike Bryan in 2006 at the US Open. She was 49.
