Conchita Martinez: The woman who stopped Navratilova
Manage episode 428639260 series 1301469
The 1994 Wimbledon Championships were dominated by one story - whether Martina Navratilova could bow out with a record-breaking tenth title.
The 37-year-old looked on course to do so, making it to the final where she'd face 22-year-old Spanish player, Conchita Martinez.
The scene was set but Conchita hadn't read the script.
Thirty years on, she shares her memories of that day with Matt Pintus.
