On her 70th birthday, Martina Navratilova’s 3 best tennis accomplishments remembered

As Martina Navratilova celebrates her 70th birthday, her unmatched dominance in tennis remains a defining legacy. The Czech-American icon achieved the rare Career Boxed Set—a feat matched only by Margaret Court in the Open Era—by winning all four Grand Slam singles, doubles, and mixed doubles titles.

Her versatility was on full display at the 1987 US Open, where she captured all three disciplines in a single tournament, a testament to her relentless work ethic and adaptability. Beyond her singles prowess, Navratilova’s doubles career was equally extraordinary, including a perfect 13-0 record in WTA Finals doubles matches, a record that stands untouched.

She also claimed 10 Grand Slam mixed doubles titles, a discipline where opportunities were limited but her success was unparalleled. Her career spanned an astonishing three decades, from 1974 to 2006, during which she amassed 167 WTA singles titles and 177 doubles titles, both Open Era records that underscore her longevity and skill.
