It’s no secret that Martina Navratilova never hesitates to say what she thinks, even if it means scratching some players, as recently with the world number one, Iga Swiatek.
This time, the former world number one wanted to react to a poll carried out on Twitter to designate the four best tennis players of all time. And obviously, Martina did not appreciate seeing her name behind that of Maria Sharapova. Words once again without filters.
What a joke‐ I mean Maria ? Really ? Don’t even bother voting…

“What a joke, I mean Maria (at this position)? Really ? Don’t even bother to vote…”reacted curtly Navratilova who, on the merits, is far from being wrong if we carefully compare the prize list of the two champions.
As a reminder, Martina Navratilova is 168 career titles (36 for Sharapova), 18 Grand Slam tournaments in singles (against five for Maria), eight Masters (against one) or even four Fed Cups (against zero)…
