Martina Navratilova walked into the men's locker room at US Open
Excerpt
Leander Paes and Martina Navratilova shared a long and successful on-court partnership, reaching as many as four Grand Slam mixed doubles finals and triumphing in two.
However, if Leander Paes' words are anything to go by, the beginning of their association was hardly a thought-out strategic decision.
The Indian doubles legend recalled the first instance of Navratilova approaching him to play mixed doubles with her in a recent interview with The Week. Describing the Czech player as a "born leader," Paes revealed that Navratilova once just walked into the men's locker room and casually told him that he'll be her doubles partner.
