Product Description
There's never been an athlete like her. Born and raised in Czechoslovakia, Martina Navratilova knew by the age of ten that she wanted to be a Wimbledon champion -- and a U.S. citizen. She would attain her goals and so much more -- but not before her incredible life unfolded in ways not even she could have dared imagine.
MARTINA is more than the thrilling story of an unparalleled career in the tough, sexy world of women's tennis. It is a startling tale of love (with famed novelist Rita Mae Brown), tragedy (her father "disappeared" when Martina was eight, and only later did she learn the true cause of his death), and personal as well as professional triumph. It includes fascinating, intimate portraits of the greats of women's tennis -- King, Evert, Casals, Austin -- plus revealing glimpses of her working relationship with basketball star Nancy Lieberman.
Emotion. Grit. Intensity. Integrity. Martina's shown them all from Flushing Meadows to Wimbledon, from Dallas to Paris to Sydney to Prague. Here they are again, in an autobiography only a champion could write.
"Fascinating and unexpectedly candid." --The San Francisco Chronicle

A dated, but interesting view of Martina's life
This book is an interesting (but dated) autobiography by Martina. She explains about her childhood in then Communist Czechoslovakia, talking about people who influenced her and shaped her tennis career, starting with her grandmother and first coach. We learn about friends like Chris Evert, Sandra Haynie, Nancy Liebermann, Billie Jean King, Renee Richards, and how they shaped her tennis career. We also read about her relationship with Rita Mae Brown, plus the showdown with her parents once they figured out she was gay. It's interesting to observe Martina's mindset at this time--in her book, she was still making a half-hearted attempt to convince the reader that she was bisexual and interested in men...she mentioned Wayne Gretzky and speculates what an amazing kid they'd produce. At the time this book was published, Martina was in the throes of passion with Judy Nelson, former Maid of Cotton with The Perfect Hair and future Martina nemesis. I'd really like to see Martina update this biography--it would interesting to hearher side of the Martina/Judy Galimony Fracas, as well as how she felt when she finally retired from tennis, plus what she sees herself doingin the years ahead. I'd like to learn more about what she thinks of today's tennis players and comment on past tennis players with successful, but brief careers.

Reads like a very well-read book report
Honestly, I purchased this book because key words "Rita MaeBrown" found it.Rita Mae is one of my very favorite authors, and Ifind that I have accidentally missed a few of her books.So... I wassearching... and found this.

I'm not athletic, and I'm not into spectatorsports.This book, rather than boring me, made tennis soundinteresting!

I found it fascinating to learn that an active woman at thetop of her field could have many of the insecurities that my friends and Ihave -- and some of the bad habits.Martina comes off as being a warm,likeable person.She seems very smart and very accomplished -- and veryproud of herself, without coming off as being haughty.

I don't knowwhether Martina's English-As-A-Second-Language plays a factor in thenarration, or whether it's George Vecsey's writing here, but the book,while clear, seems JUST A TRIFLE stilted.I'm also not quite sure who wasjust a friend and who she dated... not that it mattered, but it confusedme.It reads like an A+ book report written by a senior in high school,not like a story.

Nonetheless, I enjoyed it a great deal.

Who Knew.....
This is a must read. It is a real interesting story. Well written and amazing. I really enjoyed it.

The Greatest Tennis Player Of All Time
Here both the glorious victories and the struggles of Martina Navratilova are told sparing no detail. Author Adrianne Blue rightly praises her subject for all the tough challenges she has had to overcome and lets us see for ourselves how remarkable this true champion is. I have always admired Navratilova as a player and used to try to imitate her style in the return of serve (but I lacked the sheer power to make it work). I once met her and she was every bit as gracious as a teenager could ever want someone she admired to be. With all that in mind, it's easy to see why I was drawn to this book and why I found the stories of the oncourt victories and offcourt challenges met and overcome to be so inspirational. Martina, when weighed strictly in light of her career on the courts should be an A-list athletic celebrity, but as this book tells, she has had to fight against a number of prejudices just to merit a modicum of popular acclaim. Even Martina's very prowess at times seem to work against her and crowds sometimes booed her victories over bubbly Chris Evert, then the most popular female athlete in the US. I found this book to be both a criticism of the unlevel playing field that still exists in America today and also a celebration of tennis' all-time greatest champion, and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to find out more about Martina Navratilova, professional sports, or the undercurrents of exclusion that make it clear winning is not all there is to pop culture acceptance. ...

Product Description
In the annals of sports, no individual rivalry matches the intensity, longevity, and emotional resonance of the one between two extraordinary women: Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova.

Over sixteen years, Evert and Navratilova met on the tennis court a record eighty times—sixty times in finals. At their first match in Akron, Ohio, in 1973, Chris was an eighteen-year-old star and Martina, two years her junior, was an unknown Czech making her first trip to the United States. It would be two years before Martina finally beat Chris, and another year—after Navratilova had dropped twenty pounds and improved her game—before Evert publicly betrayed her first hint of concern. By then, the women were already friends and sometimes doubles partners, and the colorful story that would captivate the world was under way.

The Rivals is the first book to examine the intertwined journey of these legendary champions, based on extensive interviews with each. Taking readers on and off the courts with vivid, never-before-published material, award-winning sportswriter Johnette Howard shows how Evert and Navratilova came of age during the rambunctious golden age of tennis in the 1970s, and how—together—they redefined women’s athletics during a time of volcanic change in sports and society. Their epic careers unfolded against the backdrop of the fight for Title IX, the gay rights movement, the women's movement and the fall of the iron curtain. Howard draws entertaining, intimate, and myth-shattering portraits of Evert and Navratilova, describing the personal migrations each woman made, and showing how enmeshed their lives became.

Navratilova and Evert’s ability to forge and maintain a friendship during sixteen years of often-cutthroat competition has always provoked wonder and admiration. They were a study in contrasts, a collision of politics and style and looks. Chris was the crowd darling while Martina, her greatest foil, was often cast as the villain. Chris was the imperturbable champion who proved toughness and femininity weren’t mutually exclusive; Martina was portrayed as both emotionally fragile and some fearsome Amazon. Chris’s off-court life was presumed to be bedrock solid, the stuff of Main Street America; Martina’s was derided as outrageous and sometimes chaotic, even during her invincible years. Yet, through it all, the two remained friends who lifted each other to heights that each says she couldn’t have reached without the other.

Women’s tennis now is more popular than ever, thanks in large part to the trailblazing of Evert and Navratilova. A rivalry like theirs, filled with so many grace notes, is unique in sports history. ... Read more

Excellent read
A wonderful read. In depth of chris and martina throughout their rivalry of twenty years. I admired both players and hardly ever missed a match. If you want more insight into these two women's lives purchase it. I highly recommend this read for any tennis fan. It is fabulous!

Great....but Now Dated
There's no question that the Evert-Navratilova (or, more properly, the Navratilova-Evert) rivalry was one of the most compelling in sports. Howard's book was/is chock-full of superb details about almost EVERY aspect of this on-court saga, which started in the early '70s and lasted until 1987, with Navratilova edging Evert by an almost freakishly slim margin in terms of matches won/lost, yet both women ended-up equal at a mind-boggling 18 Grand Slams apiece. This was an era of grandeur & greatness that will never be duplicated, in terms of two potent rivals competing at the same time.

It was a constant, exciting drama, and Howard covers all of the "baselines." Evert, the little "Princess" against Navratilova, who was the...um...TOUGH-girl.

These women were extraordinary foils for each other, and sport will never see the like of it again. Evert (despite being utterly confused and uncertain in her early days) had minimal athletic "gifts," but consistency, coordination, strategy, and the inner-aggression of a venegeful demon.

Navratilova was erratic and confused for most of *her* early career, but she also had raw potency that gave her rivals nightmares. When she eventually slimmed her body (and mind) to a razor's edge, she started beating Evert like a bongo drum from 1983-1985 (13 humiliating wins in a row).

Howard explores the mindsets of both champions in their prime, and how they dealt with each other, but she failed to really capture the magnificence with which Evert finally overcame her massive slump against the souped-up, hard-working, powerhouse Martina.

Evert hit the gym a bit, and switched to a graphite racquet in 1984, but she did not essentially change her game against Martina. She didn't start rushing the net or serving aces. What made the difference is that Evert (with a very little extra muscle and a new racquet) was able to suddenly hit powerful, sharply angled cross-court forehands and open-up the court in a way she had not been able to do previously against the Navratilova game, putting more pressure than before upon the lefty backhand of Martina...and then using her best-of-all-time backhand to put-away crosscourt shots more aggressively.

In all truth, it was this combination that made a huge difference for Evert. Too, some spectacular Grand Slam wins (French Open 85, 86) gave her some psychological ammunition.

The trouble with this book, now, is that Howard makes such a point of "contrast" in the "off-court" lives of the two champs. Navratilova comes across as the personal "flake," in many respects, with her controversial lesbian relationships, while emphasis is placed upon Evert as being far more "typical." For Howard, Navratilova is often wrecked by her romantic "choices," while one failed "Evert marriage" is utterly redeemed by an everlasting love (to skier Andy Mill)--a union that Evert (and Howard) celebrates with enthusiasm, replete with the darling children to 'complete' the image.

The problem is that Howard focused too much upon this latter aspect, and Evert has, in very recent times, proved herself stunningly capable of horrific public "choices" via her involvement in a terribly intrusive marital scandal. She jettisoned Mill, her husband of nearly 20 years, to take-up with high-profile golfer Greg Norman, and opted (sadly) to appear intimately with him in public while he was still married, and vice versa. In a grotesque miscalculation, the irony is that Evert tarnished her image (which Howard wrote about so admantly) by public appearances that belittled and humiliated her ex-husband and Norman's wife...most conspicuously and dismayingly on the very day that the latter's divorce was final...by canoodling in the crowd at the US Open.

This aspect would not be mentioned had not Howard spilled so much ink in this book documenting Evert as such an extraordinarily happy wife and family-woman with Mill (after the utter failure of her first union with John Lloyd). Since, Evert has conducted herself with actions that do obliterate Howard's carefully delineated portrayal in the book, and, because such issues are so very important and pertinent to this actualbook, certain aspects of the"rivalry" are now dated and odd.

Now, it is surprising how much easier it has become to adopt Navratilova as the much greater of the two. Again, Howard wrote an excellent account of the actual rivalry, with Evert's "public image" ever at the forefront. That aspect has been radically changed, within the context of Howard's treatment, and I (for one) am now glad that Martina had the upper-hand against Chris...and I never thought I'd say that...in my life.

In any case, get this book for a striking, extraordinary analysis of what was likely the greatest one-on-one rivalry in the history of all sport, between two of the greatest, most unforgiving and ferocious competitors. It's amazing.

ICE PRINCESS VS NAVRAT
THIS IS A VERY INTERESTING AND WELL WRITTEN BOOK ABOUT THE TENNIS RIVALRY CONCERNING CHRIS EVERT AND MARTINA NAVRATILOVA. THERE MATCHES WERE LEGEND DURING THE 1980'S. THE BOOK COVERS ALOT MORE THAN JUST THIS. IT GIVES A LOOK AT THE PRIVATE LIVES OF CHRISSIE AND MARTINA. CHRISSIE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MARRIED LIFE.MARTINA ADMITTED TO BE BEING GAY AND ALSO DEFECTED FROM HER HOME COUNTRY OF CZECHOLSLOVAKIA TO ESCAPE COMMUNISM. THEY BOTH ARE LEGENDS IN THE TENNIS WORLD AND HELPED THE GROWTH OF TENNIS TO THE VERY POPULAR SPORT IT IS TODAY. I REALLY ENJOYED THIS BOOK AND RECOMMEND IT FOR ALL SPORTS FANS. THE AUTHOR DOES A GREAT JOB SHOWING US THE HUMAN SIDE OF BOTH RIVALS

Game, Set and Match
This book offers an insightful look into the lives of Martina and Chris.
If you're a fan of either you'll enjoy their perspectives individually.
If you're a fan of both...all the better for you.You will read how each supported, coaxed, teased, fought, encouraged and ultimately validated each other and each other's career.
I think this book de-mythologizes much of what we've heard before about Chris and Martina's relationship.At the same time, it re-inforces things we already knew, but adds a little more depth:incredible friends, incredible rivals...A friendship that transcends their rivalry and a rivalry that transcended sport.

A Literary Second Serve
In The Rivals, a middling addition to the tennis book industry, Johnette Howard argues that the Evert-Navratilova rivalry both reflected and changed women's tennis and women's role in professional sports.Fair enough.She also portrays the rivals as two intelligent, highly skilled and articulate women whose friendship was tested and strengthened by their on-court competition.Fair enough again.Also, the book is a quick, good read, albeit in the style of a 270 page sports column, where everybody always talks in the present tense.When all that is conceded though, what new perspective or insight does The Rivals bring to the party?In my view, not much, if anything, that couldn't be found by reading the autobiographies of the two champions, which Howard generously cites frequently.As for the writing on tennis here, there is nothing that can come close to John McPhee's classic Levels of the Game in recreating the context, tension, and skill of tennis at the highest levels. ...

A Disappointing Sequel to Total Zone
Ex-Tennis Pro Jordan Myles is back and she's using her detective skills to investigate the death of young girl who worked for a sleazy sports agent. The action gets muddled with far too many characters (and not enough suspects) to keep track of. Then more people start turning up dead, and Jordan's life is threatened. When she finally figures out whodunit and why, there's no real surprise and the story ends very weakly.

Not even the return appearance of detective Noel Fishburn (aka "The Fish") and Martina's extensive knowledge of the pro tennis could help pull this story off!

Breaking Point
This was the first book, by Martina Navratilova and Elizabeth Nickles that I had read and I have to say that it was hard going getting into the book but once past those first 50 pages it was an enjoyable read.Easy read,fast paced mystery with lots of action and for those of us who love tennisquite an insight into some of the behind the scene wranglings that we maynever have thought of.I enjoyed it and would say that most tennis fanswould.

Good enough to keep me awake after midnight

Excerpt: Petr Korda (born 23 January 1968) is a former professional tennis player from the Czech Republic. He is best known for winning the Australian Open in 1998 and for becoming the first well-known player to be suspended for ingesting a banned substance shortly thereafter. Korda was born in Prague, Czechoslovakia. He first came to the tennis world's attention as a promising junior player. In 1985, he partnered with fellow Czech Cyril Suk to win the boy's doubles title at the French Open. Korda and Suk ranked the joint-World No. 1 junior doubles players that year. Korda turned professional in 1987. He won his first career doubles title in 1988, and his first top-level singles title in 1991. Korda was involved in four Grand Slam finals during his career two in singles and two in doubles. In 1990, Korda and Goran Ivanievi finished runners-up in the men's doubles at the French Open. In 1992, he rose to the men's singles final at the French Open, where he was defeated in straight sets by defending champion Jim Courier 75, 62, 61. In 1996, he teamed-up with Stefan Edberg to win the men's doubles title at the Australian Open. The crowning moment of Korda's career came in 1998, when he faced Marcelo Ríos in the men's singles final at the Australian Open. Korda dominated the match from start to finish by winning in straight sets 62, 62, 62 and claimed his first (and only) Grand Slam singles title. The wi... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1439769 ...
