When did Martina Navratilova stop playing tennis? What ever happened to her?
453799
Since 2000, Navrátilová has returned to the tour to play doubles events, while occasionally also playing singles. In 2003, she won the mixed doubles titles at both the Australian Open and Wimbledon partnering Leander Paes. This makes her the oldest ever Grand Slam champion (aged 46 years, 8 months). The Australian Open victory made her only the third player in history to complete a “boxed set” of Grand Slam titles by winning the women’s singles, women’s doubles, and mixed doubles at all four Slams. The Wimbledon win allowed her to equal Billie Jean King’s record of 20 Wimbledon titles (in singles and double combined) and extended her overall number of Grand Slam titles to 58 (second only to Margaret Court, who won 62). Navratilova won a singles match at the first round of Wimbledon in 2004, aged 47 years and 8 months, to make her the oldest player to win a professional singles match in the Open Era.\n\nOver the course of her career, Navrátilová won 167 top-level singles titles (more than any other player in the Open Era) and 175 doubles titles. Her most recent title came on August 21, 2005, at the Rogers Cup in Toronto, where she won the women's doubles event partnering Anna-Lena Groenefeld. Navrátilová won 18 Grand Slam singles titles during her career: 9 at Wimbledon, 4 at the U.S. Open, 3 at the Australian Open, and 2 at the French Open. Her overall record in 67 Grand Slam events was 306-49 .862 (120-14 at Wimbledon, 89-17 at the U.S. Open, 51-11 at the French Open, and 46-7 at the Australian Open).

I think she will.  She has talked about retiring , but she may want to do some kind of farewell season.  At least playing the majors if her health holds up.  Lindsey playing hurt and banged up has been going on her whole career. So I predict she will announce that the 2007 US OPEN will be her last event prior to the AUSTRALIAN OPEN.

IF she is injured and played.  It could screw up her whole year.  She has to do what is best for her overall health.  It is a drag and drain on your body the tennis season.  She may want to just shut it down and start up at the Australian.  She will be number one in the world someday soon.  Just to much talent.

I liked John McEnroe and Martina Navratilova.  Hope I spelt it right.

Poorly\nShe will find todays top players too tough & too strong for her\nAs it is she retired to avoid the Williams sisters

I don't think so.  The top women tennis players have shifted from a finesse-type game to a more power-oriented type since the emergence of the Williams sisters.  Hingis was dominant in her time during the 90's because her consistency was good enough to win tournaments.  When the power game came into effect, these players have been able to figure out how to handle finesse-type players like Hingis.\n\nIn my honest opinion, the reason why she initially "retired" was because she couldn't handle the power-game of the Williams sisters.  She still hasn't found ways to be these types of players and she won't reach #1 unless she figures out a way to beat them.\n\nI definitely think she is capable of being a Top 10 player, but with the power games of the Williams and the Sharapovas of women's tennis, Hingis will never make it back to #1.\n\nThe same analogy can be made for Lleyton Hewitt on the men's side.

My first racket was a $3 Spaulding beauty (1974). \n\nHaving developed tendinitis at the age of 19 so severely my arm would not swing when I walked,  an orthopedic surgeon gave me a series of 6-7 cortisone shots.  \n\nIn addition he asked me to take up the game(s) of tennis and/or racquetball with the instruction of  - the more I use my shoulder the greater chance I have my tendinitis would not return.\n\nThe severely excruciating pain of the tendinitis was certainly a motivator.  Never having any interest in tennis previously, I watched players on TV and copied their strokes as hit up against a school building in a small Nevada town.  \n\nWith only 400 people in the town, there were no tennis courts so the wall was my only competition.  During many, many hundreds of hours, I would improve my skills playing make believe matches against Borg, Connors, Stan Smith, Nasty,  and the other icons of the era.  I did this every day in the desert heat and cold for over 2 years before ever stepping on a tennis court of any kind.\n\nToday, after just over 30 years, and without wanting to bore you any further, I have that doctor to thank for a free college education, a case full of dusty yet still meaningful trophies, great health, and a lot of wonderful friends.\n\n - Thanks again Doc, you changed my life.

Monica  Seles\n\n30 avril 1993\n\nLors des quarts de finale du tournoi de tennis de Hambourg (Allemagne), un illuminé saute sur le court et poignarde dans le dos la joueuse yougoslave de 20 ans, Monica Seles. L'agresseur, fervent supporter de l'allemande Steffi Graf, se dit agacé par les victoires à répétitions de Monica Seles. La numéro 1 mondiale au classement ATP (Association des tennismen professionnels) est gravement blessée. Elle reprendra la compétition à Toronto en 1995 et remportera l'Open d'Australie l'année suivante.

No, she is not playing anymore, she retired, and it is normal after all that...

I think Sesil Karatantcheva took the steriods to improve her athletic performance quicker, and/or was influenced by her coaches.  Womens Tennis is so competitive this day and age.  The top players are strong, and quick.  The sad thing is that she is only 16.  I guess that she wanted to strive to be one of the top players, in a fairly quick manner.

Maria is not as focused in tennis as before now. But Nicole put her mind in the game. That's the difference. Do you guys still remember when Maria takes over Anna who has won 0 title in her 'famous' career? Nicole certainly is the next force. Watch out, Maria!\n\nOh, by the way, she is a pretty tennis babe for sure. See one of her normal pix here.\nhttp://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://mikuna.image.pbase.com/v3/50/294250/4/50809200._X9Z5961.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.pbase.com/colind/nicole&h=160&w=146&sz=5&tbnid=dQ1OAWUAiwrWBM:&tbnh=92&tbnw=83&hl=en&start=78&prev=/images%3Fq%3D%2BNicole%2BVaidisova%26start%3D60%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official_s%26sa%3DN
