THE GREATEST TO EVER PLAY!! 167 SINGLES TITLES! 177 DOUBLES TITLES!! 15 MIXED DOUBLES TITLES!!! THAT IS 359 TITLESSSSSSS!
Speechless. I am without speech. I love Martina and Chris!
Proud of Martina
Probably the greatest all round player ever.
Ill never forget Martina winning nearly every year in the 80,s she was WONDERWOMAN
Then steffi came along & starting defeated martina 🤔😂
She made semifinals or better 17 times , and 20 consecutive quarterfinals or better from 1975 to 1994 😳
The Queen of Wimbledon, period....
Forever
She won 9 of 23 Wimbledons.
Steffi 7 of 14.
The Greatest Rivalry...Evert, as usual, gracious and humble in describing Navratilova's greatness
Great memories for me! I was a huge fan of Martina's!
I’m so bummed that there’s no Wimbledon this year. But I’m enjoying these flashback videos. I miss that era of tennis with Bjorn Borg and Martina Navratilova!
The greatest female tennis player of all time and one of the greatest tennis players EVER!!!.
I love that this is narrated Martina's greatest rival and very good friend Chris!
Its funny how time works. When Martina was at the top there was no question about who was the greatest womens tennis champion ever. Now she hardly gets mentioned in the goat conversation. IMO she alone was more responsible for revolutionizing and the evolution of womens tennis than any other. She was the most competetive dug in player for a very long time that Ive ever seen. She would do anything to win. And the times that she overcame in a match should be celebrated. Im a huge Graff fan but Id even put Martina a tic above her.
Real tennis fans always considered Margaret Court greater than Evert or Navratilova.
And they still do today.
Marge only admitted that Graf was even greater than her.
@@carrerau7138 Oh I absolutely do not think that is true. "Real tennis fans". Oh boy. I dont even think its really fair to compare the era from that far back. Totally different style of game, speed etc. Its like those that say "Babe Ruth was the greatest of all time" I use to be one of those folks.
@@carrerau7138 No they don’t. Court won many victories in Australia in an era when many players didn’t travel to Australia. A completely different era.
@@patkennedy2620 Court won 11 AO titles.
Even if we were to count only 6 of them she still would have 19 slams. Plus the 1970 Grand Slam.
She won slams until 1973 which was 51 years ago. Evert won her last slam 38 years ago, Navratilova 34 years ago, Steffi 25 years ago. There no reason to praise the two old Americans and forget the superior Australian.
This is finally a great tribute for a legend who was also the GOAT of Fair-Play I have ever seen!
Well said!
The GOAT period love martina
My rival, my friend...
I know. I'm in tears, cant see the screen as I'm typing :)
Esp thinking back to the roller coaster their friendship went through... the bravery on both their parts. No disrespect to Steffi, but my fave 3, her & Chris, & Monica. Bloody stabber...
@@dandecastro51 Definitely my top 3 too. There was just something about Steffi's personality I just never got.
I love that this was narrated by Chris!
She is the fittest and her longevity is astonishing. No one can be like her.
Brava! Martina Navratilova. Legend.
Wimbledon is undoubtedly the greatest stage in tennis and here is a player who has won it 9 times. Wow!!!
From 1982-87, it was like all the other players were fighting for second place.
US open ,aus open,uso, Wimbledon all are equal
@@rishbahpandey8697 No Wimbledon is the most prestigious and the greatest stage in Tennis. Ask any Tennis player they will also say the same.
No they don’t . To many Europeans it’s the French. To many Americans it’s the US open.
@@yussepig6629 It's Wimbledon. Does not mean the others are insignificant. But Wimbledon is Wimbledon.
she'll always be my favourite female tennis player
Mega ditto.
No diss to Steffi, but for mine, Martinas 18 mean more than her 22. Monica was starting to stunt that tally, when human flotsam got in the way with a knife.
female...?
@@skatershoesfun go test your mom
@@skatershoesfun troll
Mine too, I miss the days watching her playing.
She is best ! She is greatest! Singles, doubles and mixed doubles!💐💐💐
Well said. Spot on. :)
second only to Court
I loved how, in 2003, on the same day that Roger Federer won his first singles title, John McEnroe later became so upset during the women's doubles final that it might go on too long and push the mixed final to the next day or another court and deny him the chance to call the match that tied Ms Navratilova with Mrs King's record of twenty combined Wimbledon titles. He even ranted during points when all four players were in the backcourt that doubles is played at the net, and Martina would be turning in her grave if she were dead instead of waiting to get on the court. Mr McEnroe (who had not yet recovered from Steffi Graf's withdrawal in 1999 after they had reached the semifinals) became a little emotional during the mixed final, and then Ms Carillo told him, "It's not too late," which sadly did not have the same success as the prediction in 1993 of the Duchess of Kent to Jana Novotna that Jana would win it one day. And, happily, after that 2003 final, Ms Navratilova did not annoy any of the officials by taking a few blades of Centre Court grass.
@@johnholmes912 but without the toxic personality
@@johnholmes912 Miles ahead of Court- both on & off court
Probley the greatest woman tennis champion of all time
Greatest of all women's sport, perhaps.
One of my favorite tennis players. A Champion 🏆🏆🏆
As much as I love Martina and her game, I have to hand it to Chris for her graciousness and also for the kind words from Steffi Graf about Martina’s play.
This is what made me want to play tennis. I enjoyed watching Martina and Chrissie play each other. The competition was always good and fair. Miss those days.
To me the 87,88 & 89 finals Navratilova-Graf was the best trilogy ever!
Not really. The first was a mismatch. The real final that year was the semis Evert vs Navratilova
Yes, indeed!
I always love Martina's personality n' her unique talented style as well. She was capable 4 decades, 2 play and dominate both single n' doubles competition in every GS tournament No doubt d REAL woman athlete GOAT
Martina is theGOAT!! I don't see how anyone can rank Serena higher just because she has more slams? I MEAN who can win Wimbledon 6 straight and hold the most wins there 9 and be ranked lower? Chrissie should even be ranked higher than Serena because of her unimaginable record on clay and the most French titles! Love both Martina and Chrissie!!!
and her 167 titles!!
Mrs Navratilova and Mr Lendl are Great Tennis Player from Czech, they both Modern Tennis
Beautifully narrated by Ms Evert. The only thing that would seem comparable would be Hr Federer's narrating a French tribute to Sr Nadal.
Yyyyyeeeesssss!
I started watching women's tennis in 1981. Not only exciting as it turned out, but Chris and Martina ruled. I became hooked on women's tennis in the 80's. Watched every match I could on TV and at the Canadian Opens in person. So much fun. I have the photos! They were stars. Jaeger, Manlikova, the Maleeva sisters, Zina Garrison. It wasn't the wide draw it is today, but the talent stands true and firm. Steffi changed everything. It was exhilarating.
Greatest player ever!
Martina used to be my hero in my school days.
The Evert/ Navratilova rivalry is the greatest ever for any of the Four Major Sports.
I agree, it's simply the greatest rivalry in the history of sports, man or woman, individual or team, any sport!
@Ilya Kuryakin - That is a team rivalry. Not the same thing as individual rivalries.
Soccer/Football is the most watched sport in the world - is that in your four?
@@ElectoneGuy - The USTA is not one of the 4 Major Sports ( NBA/NFL/NHL or MLB) but I was referring to
individual rivalries. The only one that came close to Evert/Navratilova was Bill Russell/Wilt Chamberlain
What are the four major sports?
I love the way Martina played tennis ❤❤her aggressive style serve and volley on every point was a fore runner to Serena Williams. Serena took tennis to the next level Power Tennis.❤
The Greatest
What a beautiful narration... Martina... The greatest tennis player...
Beautiful and moving tribute. I miss the marvellous serve/volley tennis from the 70s and 80s at Wimbledon. Navratilova, Novotna, Edberg, Becker, McEnroe - absolutely stunning play, a lot less boring than endless baseline rallies now!
These are wonderful tribute videos from Wimbledon. Classy, as always.
So inspiring Martina! Love lots! 😘
Awww🥺🤍 a legend
These are great videos @wimbledon!🎾
My rival, my friend. So humble
My all-time favourite still she is
Greatest
Of all Time ....
Women & Men ...
best volleyer of all time
I just love, love this
She is greatest , that's it no debate
One of the greatest*.
Along with Williams and Graf.
@@dandecastro51 where do these Selesians grow?? They always conveniently forget that Graf was in a very long slump because of the blackmail scandal
Steffi is the GOAT. She dominate on all surfaces like nobody.
WHAT A GREAT CHAMP!!!!! AMAZING
Wonderful documentary......👩❤️💋👩
A true legend. Her tennis records will be eternal.
I wish we had this strength in the WTA now! Now the top players are not as good and are also unreliable losing to nobodies in early rounds
Grande Martina, toda una reina en el tenis!
Hi Wimbledon this is a good short video well done
Martina & CEL for President 2020 x
I really like Graf and Navratilova rivalry.
Id like to see highlights of Wimbledon finals over the past 100 plus years
Great video
Respect
Beautiful.
Wow, amazing
The great Martina will 9 of 12 finals. The great Serena's got 7 of 11. Still pretty impressive.
Steffi Graf got 7 of 9.
@@stevyyjay85 ..Graf didn’t have her toughest competition for a while.
Legend !!
The greatest at serve and volley
Please upload Nadal vs Murray Wimbledon 2008. It was great match.
The GOAT
Beautiful :)
Hi,
Any chance of this great channel uploading the 1976 Wimbledon Quarter-Final, between Martina and Sue Barker?
Many thanks.
Not a huge tennis fan,
But I was there back in the day only once, when it was possible to wait over night. Saw Martina win her first at Wimbledon, and Borg beat Jimmy Conners in a semi final
I may have been a year out here. The year Borg beat Tanner in the final
very good
This is so classy.
Gigante jugadora
chris and martina rivalry and best friend
her losing to Conchita in 94 was so sad.... she should have won that
I agree. I remember watching it thinking the exact same. It would have been her 10th Wimbledon singles title. But look how remarkable her career has been since, in doubles and winning her last major title in 2006 in the US Open. Still plays at invitation mixed doubles up to this year 2023 and hopefully next year too!!
If u didnt crie, u are not a true tennis fan
Tears are falling on my screen. Seriously. Love them both to this day.
So true
Martina Navratilova "nevertoloveanother"😂
After she broke up from her long time partner, will forever be G. O. A. T. to me.
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Special
That was superb 9 th time wimbledon champion, Roger federer only has 8 th.
Flip a coin between Martina and Steffi as the greatest. Both amazing and also gracious in both victory and in defeat.
Steffi was fine but still nowhere close to Martina! this is my GOAT women Martina No.1 Steffi 2 Chrissie 3 then a long down the line Serena at 4
Steffi is the GOAT then it's Martina then Serena.
That 1985 match point was mighty close.
I know and I wanted Chrissie to win so badly but with Martina across the net nearly impossible. That is why she is the GOAT!!
Still can’t believe the obnoxious Graf cheered like a lion at 6:22 after a mishit ball and a NETCORD WINNER gave her the championship. Disgusting sportsmanship. She also was the most fortunate player of all time to receive a walkover into the USO Final of 1988. She never won a “true” calendar year Slam because she didn’t have to play and win 28 matches; only 27.
Still Steffi is the GOAT. Her forehead crush Chrissy/Martina rivalry. They had no chance against peak Steffi, even they know that.
Chris would get bageled if she had played that SF against Graf in 1988 us open.lol🤣🤣🤣 She got fever in the night before playing that SF because of fear of Graf.😉😉😉
@@rajusaha855 that’s all theory. The fact is, she never won a true CYGS bc she only had to play 27, not 28, GS matches and they weren’t consecutive
RUclips recommended doing its work 😢 get well fast Martina
They should have showed the incidents in the 1978 final, when 1. Martina completely air-shot a ball and, 2. Evert hit her in the head with a ball.
Martina navratilova was and still is the best woman players in tennis history. No other player get even close to her skills. GS titles don't tell the whole truth. Steffi and serena may have more titles but martina is far more better player. That's all.
Steffi is 9-9 H2H against Navratilova.
Even though Martina played most matches against a 16/18-year-old baby Steffi.
And even though 89 % of their matches were played on fast surfaces favoring Martina (who avoided Steffi on clay and slow hard courts after her loss to 17-year-old Steffi at the FO 87).
👍👍😀😀
I liked Navratilova, BUT i LOVED Graf
And I adored Monica Seles. If no stabbing, she would have continued to beat Stef
@@dandecastro51 Steffi was ahead in their meetings up until the stabbing.
Why do some of Martina’s screams sound like they’ve been dubbed over by Angelique Kerber?
Pause it at 2:54.
I know right LOL
@@sumnahlennon4516 ?
A little boy ?
Excellent short ℹ️📹., Both awesome 🎾 *players.,
Chris, was present during Martina's 🎤 *speech, upon 'Save The Rose Theatre', stage, as they highLighted both her career (70's to 1989), and contributed to a 'Tribute', to honoured fellow guest, 'Billie Jean King' 🏆.,
Stephanie Graff, would attend later the same 🌄, amidst a parade of supporting sport's 🌟✨, from around 🌐.
Shame 'Everett', was v. *PDA💑, to partner., I'd try for *intro.. Ahh-Well 🤷🏻♂️!!
Martina's weakness was clay.
Steffi had no weakness.
Martina is better player than Graf, Graf was so lucky, Seles should take that place of Graf. So Seles>Martina>Evert>Graf.
at the time many people found it suspicious how she went from being pudgy to then all of a sudden being shredded with veins popping out all over the place.
many suspected some chemical help...its just one of the reasons why Chrissie was always a way more popular figure
In 1978 Navratilova improved her serve... EVERT NEVER EVER HAD A SERVE... NO POWER SERVE... GRAF THE WILLIAMS' SISTERS COULD SERVE..
Martina, play tennis not politics.
Any truth to the rumor that the USTA is gonna outlaw left handers after Nadal retires?? Hope so. Can't handle their weird spin.
first
One of the best ever. I personally prefer Williams sisters over her, especially on grass. But what a legend, man!
Margaret Court should have said a couple of sweet words about Martina in this hommage video too, she´s the absolut slam record holder and she had a short rivalry with Martina too, I don´t know why Chrisy and Steffi got to speak here but Maggy Court wasn´t invited
NOT HATE!! JUST TRUTH!! GOD BLESS!!
Margaret Court is a homophobe and believes in conversion therapy to cure homosexuality... of course she wouldn't speak nicely of Navratilova and thence wasn't invited.
sec
Anna Kournikova join Navaratilova....
