Another Tennis Great

Martina Navratilova of the USA holds the distinction of being the oldest tennis player, male or female, to win a Wimbledon Championship. In 2003, at the ripe old age of 46 years, 261 days, she won the mixed doubles championship with partner, Leander Paes of India.

While I was not fortunate enough to return to Wimbledon in 2003, I have included some of my favorite pictures from the 1993 Championships where Ms. Navratilova also won the mixed doubles championship but with then partner Mark Woodforde. Ms. Navratilova would likely have won both events regardless of partner. It is always fun to watch her hit winner after winner with such ease.

Stay tuned for soccer tomorrow!
