Navratilova Career Highlights
After leaving Czechoslovakia for the U.S., Navratilova's tennis career took off by the end of the 1970s. In 1981 she was considered one of the most dominant female tennis players, winning the Australian Open and taking both singles and doubles championships at Wimbledon and the French Open. By 1984 she had reached six Grand Slam singles titles and by 1990 hit a record of nine Wimbledon singles titles. Martina Navratilova: BiographyQuotes

With all due respect to my homeland, things never really felt right until the day I got off the plane in Florida." -Martina NavratilovaESPN: Martina was Alone on Top-
