For over an hour I got to hang out with my favorite tennis player, whom I grew up watching play my favorite sport at the most elite level imaginable against my other most favorite tennis player, Chris Evert.
Martina and I cover everything from her immense influence on women’s tennis, to the greatest rivalry in the history of sport (those glorious 80 matches between her and Evert!), the disturbing situation with doubles-player and three-time Olympian Peng Shuai, the role of politics in tennis, politics in general, Martina’s life-long activism, her take on the current state of affairs, and the fact that her wife, Julia, just landed a role on Real Housewives of Miami.
If you enjoy this one-tenth as much as I did you will enjoy it a lot. And don’t forget to follow the podcast on Apple or wherever you listen.
Thanks!
Martina Navratilova
