How did Navratilova change the face of tennis?

The tennis legend helped change the course of women’s tennis. There was a rise in popularity with Navratilova’s presence in the sport. Moreover, her legendary rivalry with one of her best friends, Chris Evert, put women’s tennis on an equal footing with that of the men’s circuit, especially when it came to garnering worldwide attention.

Consequently, this brought more investment from the corporate world. Later on, Serena Williams contributed to the same trend and changed the sport in her own way. Along with breaking the astounding singles record of legends such as Navratilova, Evert and Steffi Graf, Serena also went on to become an inspiration for the new generation of players.
