Martina Navrátilová, the legendary tennis player and admirable woman from Řevnice near Prague, reminisces and takes stock, but at the same time, with unflagging vigour, she is making new plans for her life. Martina Navrátilová, perhaps the best tennis player of all time, will turn 60 this year. She spent her childhood in Czechoslovakia during the communist era. After emigrating to the United States, she became world number one within four years. She worked hard and there were times when her opponents considered her unbeatable. The media called her a pioneer, an activist, an icon. Why is that? Only she can describe it.
