After hearing this news, the greatest all-format tennis player ever, Navratilova, posted a tweet and in the caption, she wrote, Wow… will never buy anything that has Musk associated with it… what an a**.

Notably, this was not the first time Navratilova criticized Musk. She recently bashed him for firing some of his employees as they spoke up about some of his tweets. When Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion, Navratilova was one of the top athletes who lost the most followers. She made a joke about it as well. Nevertheless, she never misses an opportunity to take a dig at Musk.

Also, she had a great rivalry with another legend, Chris Evert. Interestingly, Evert was more of a baseline player, but could not stand against Navratilova’s serve and volley game on most occasions. In terms of the head-to-head record, Navratilova won the battle by 43-37.

Certainly, she was one of the best serve and volley players on the tour. However, many argue that she was the greatest player of all time, irrespective of the men’s and women’s circuits. Do you agree with this take or do you have someone else in mind?
