She has won 59 Grand Slam titles.
Her career spanned over 4 decades.
She defected from Czechoslovakia to the USA to become an American citizen.
Former #1 player in the world.
She was openly gay and was an activist for animals.
She had great rivalries over the years, most notably versus Chris Evert. She just won the mixed doubles title at the US Open last week, at what, 50 years old? Former number 1 player Martina Hingis was NAMED after Martina Navratilova. She's one of the best ever.

Lesbian or not she is probably the greatest tennis player of all time, people knocked her, for her views on sex, didn't like the way she looked, always loved Chris Everett, but Martina showed the world, put her money where her mouth is and became number 1 funny people knocked her because she was gay, but yet they named the Open after Billie Jean King and what was she! And no I am not Gay, just give credit where credit is due!

because she kept winning grand slams. altogether with singles, doubles, and mixed, she has like 159 grand slams. if you have that much slam titles, i think it's only right that you're famous.
