Apart from expressing her views on tennis, she often posts about her political views as well. Recently, a Donald Trump supporter named Nick Adams took to social media and posted about Trump’s tennis prowess, which Navratilova did not like, and slammed him for that.

Notably, Adams, who is also an author, compared Trump’s tennis prowess with the likes of Roger Federer, Andy Roddick, and Andre Agassi. Moreover, he did not like that the legendary tennis player Serena Williams is getting all the attention during the US Open.
After noticing this tweet, Martina Navratilova took to Twitter and wrote, “Now we know for sure you are certifiable. And a cult member – congratulations – you pass the sycophant test with flying colors #uttermoron”

It is worth mentioning that this was not the first time Navratilova has destroyed a Trump supporter on Twitter. Additionally, she also never misses an opportunity to mock the former President of the United States.
Earlier, former American tennis player Andy Roddick also mocked Mr. Adams for posting about Trump. He jokingly said, “You forgot that he’s also fitter than Rafa.”
