Navratilova has a Djokovic problem but Fed don't care...

Martina doesn't have Roger's millions, marketabilty, and worldwide appeal...her last grasp on tennis immortality is being eaten away by Novak...winning #8 probably won't bother Roger much but it's just a little too close for comfort for the 9-time champion...Carlos is the only one who can save her now...

For this Djokovic would need 10 titles though (or 9 and 2 more finals), because even with 9 Martina for now would lead 3-2 in additional finals.

She appears semi-regularly with her wife on Real Housewives of Miami and when you’ve dealt with the craziness of Marysol and Alexia, the tennis world seems small in comparison.
Amen to that. I don’t think she cares about the mens tennis record impacting her womens tennis record which everyone knows is different. This thread feels like a random and awful attempt to target Navratilova for no reason?

What the title should read:

”Since this forum can’t fake anymore that Federer cares, we are going to fake that Martina cares because in our minds she doesn’t have a life outside of tennis”

Title too long: SO

Navratilova has been quite bitter about her standing in tennis for decades, often saying negative things about Graf while Martina was playing and well into her retirement years. She's flip-flopped with her praise / harsh criticism of Serena as well, and of course, we know how she tried to bring her propaganda to the Australian Open to eliminate any recognition of Court--another player far superior to Navratilova. With the content of her criticism being so hollow or flat out wrong, it seems she's still defining herself by tennis and is not living some off-court, fulfilling life as some would attempt to spin that.

Women's and men's records are not comparable. The top WTA player would lose to a 1000 ranked ATP player Every. Time. Stop letting the media's desperate attempt to create some low key feats guide you.
It's impressive you manage to support a reasonable position with the most ******** argument possible.

Djokovic hasn't even won a title in 2024 and has no hope of even coming close to beating Alcaraz, so don't worry...
Alcaraz will cruise to victory.
Djokovic's shots lack power and his body looks frail, he's not winning this Wimbledon.

Navratilova has a wonderful wife and beautiful life outside of tennis. Lmao That’s such a ludicrous thing to say.
Much of Martina's life is spent commenting on tennis matches, she never had children and her wife or husband is probably there, primarily for her money. Being on the Housewives of whatever is IMO, pathetic.

Navaratilova deserves to be relegated in tennis history.

To randomly throw in that she never had children and also to say “Or husband” after I just said her “wife” shows where you stand on Navratilova. She’s a lesbian. Us LGBT exist you know?

People also can choose not to have children and live an amazing life.

Apples and oranges to compare women's tennis with men's tennis. For example, in men's tennis the hard thing is to break serve, whereas in women's tennis the hard thing is to hold serve.

I read that Navratilova and McEnroe, were nearly kicked out of the AO for openly campaigning for changing the name of the Margret Court Arena to the Evonne Goolagong Arena. The AO officials said they were breaking established rules which they should have been aware of. Once threatened, Martina and John ended their campaign against M Court. Navratilova was a great player, no doubt, but also a bitter and insecure person

Martina is among those who think today's players are better than yesterday. She said of Steffi Graf, 'Steffi is better than me, but if I were born latter, I'd be better too.'

If that's true good. There should be some scare at the very least

So people who are infertile and try their entire lives to get pregnant but physically can’t despite spending thousands of dollars are what? Disgraces to humanity?
Exception to the general rule.

I hate the community which keeps glorified world travelling and promotes no child as is good thing on Instagram etc.

There’s no comparison between ATP and WTA, as ATP it superior to the point that the women can’t even win a ranking in the absolute bottom of the ATP

I’m not sure they could even compete against the male Jrs

it is so in every other sport that women and men tours and records are separete but nole is not the GOAT and record breaker in other most popular sports but in tennis. so let mix in men, women, amateurs and handicappet players!

From 1967-1969, Beryl Burton the female cyclist held the 12-hour time trial record even above the men's record.

I would not advocate that happening to her; she only deserved what she earned on court, and not have her record elevated at the expense of others who were clearly superior with their achievements, such as Court and Graf.

Oh, she has been bitter for decades (and not just due to her up and down personal relationship dramas), and when she realized she was never a GOAT player, she resorted to attacks against her sport superiors, which everyone (who embraces reality) understood were and are the ranting of a woman feeling she's not a candidate in any true GOAT assessment.

Nine titles on the WTA. Not ATP.

It's apples to oranges.

In Germany there were the rumours in the 90s that this lady Astrid Benöhr held some super marathon records even above the men’s records. Turned out it was BS, as she ran those runs alone without opponents and officials. In official runs she had way worse times and wasn’t even the best woman. Amazing actually that that hoax survived for so long, well then again it were the 90s without internet and ultra marathon was a niche sports.

At a certain point you'd hope Novak's fanbase would stop lashing out at people who're critical of his behaviour, projecting their own insecurities onto his perceived "enemies".

I hate the community that forces people to have a bunch of kids that they then abandon at fire stations or force into adoption or abandon on the side of road or bash or worse. Many, many people shouldn’t be parents but are forced into it.

People should travel the world if they want to, don’t get bullied into having a kid that they never wanted and treat like crap.

Records will be broken. Some stand longer than others, it's always just a matter of time.

As for Navratilova, I doubt she's concerned with men's tennis wiping away her records. They are separate sports with separate champions. Why would we join their record books?
