Listening to her with Ted Robinson, it seems as if he is constantly trying to deflect her comments and after she makes a statement, it's like he has to clean it up for her. It's also obvious that she is not too fond of Serena Williams. What do you think?

I like her candidness - too many commentators in sports are afraid to say anything even mildly critical - but she seems to have some real issues with Serena....and what's up with that.....she is in the best shape she has been in a few years & is playing well.

Martina is a critical commentator, but she was also an extremely self-critical player. Martina has the experience of being such an innovative female tennis champion, and I think she subjects other champions- like Serena- to the same scrutiny she subjects herself to. I don't get the impression she dislikes Serena- yet I can't imagine Martina would ever kiss Serena's *** either.I have noticed Martina commenting on Serena's grunt volume increasing during the most important points of the match- which seems true. Martina has also questioned the fairness/good-sportsmanship of such grunting- probably a good question to ask, because vocal hindrance is against tennis rules.

She hasnt commentated any of the matches Ive watched. Im not sure if its b/c of a difference in networks? Its been Pam Shriver here...Im not sure who the guy is. I would think that Martinas being a perfectionist plays a part in her being so tough & so real about other players. Not to mention how incredible she was/is. Her standards are way up there, but I agree she should try to be more positive & objective.

I have not heard that, she has always been a Serena supporter so id be surprised, I think maybe you are referring more to the style of play. Martina is a net player and sometimes -just like McEnroe, she describes a play with what she would have done..

It's you. Navratilova is a smart, witty commentator who knows as much about this sport as anyone alive.

touchy subject, but feel it not the time or place to view personal thoughts and idea's, used to like tom cruise, but he stepped over the line, they are paid professionals, whether it be sporting, acting or what ever, we are influenced enough by media and so called celebrity's
