THE AMAZING NAVRATILOVA


Okay, so Andy Roddick didn’t win the Championships. He has plenty more years ahead of him: 25 years or so, if he has the staying power of Martina Navratilova.


But that’s doubtful. I mean, who does?


In case you missed it, Navratilova, now 46, won her 20th Wimbledon title -- tying Billie Jean King’s record there -- nabbing another mixed doubles trophy, playing with Leander Paes against competitors half her age.


Actually, the runners-up, Andy Ram and Anastassia Rodionova, were not yet born when Navratilova won her first women’s singles title at Wimbledon in 1978.


Amazing.
