Having inadvertantly mentioned Martina Navratilova in a thread about the greatest sportsman of all time, I will start this one by extolling her achievements.
59 Grand Slam titles out of about 360 tournament titles spread over more than 20 years, the last Grand Slam mixed doubles title coming at the age of 46. Always articulate, she became a political campaigner, notably for gay rights. When it was suggested that she was ungrateful to campaign in a country that gave her freedom she replied that she was speaking in favour of those very freedoms.
