Martina the Magnificent

Tuesday September 12, 2006
Martina Navratilova has done it again. This time she won a mixed doubles championship at the U.S. Open. Martina Navratilova, who is probably the best tennis player male or female to play the game, announced her retirement this weekend. Some skeptics say it won’t last. The buff and beautiful Martina is one month shy of turning 50 and it seems is finally getting the recognition she deserves. When she came out of the closet in 1980, she lost many major endorsements. Now she says, she’s being treated like a rock star by the fans. Here's more about Martina and some great new photos by Annie Leibovitz.
