Navratilova Proposes On Big Screen At US Open September 6 2014 NEW YORK Tennis great Martina Navratilova proposed to her girlfriend on the big screen of Arthur Ashe Stadium between the U.S. Open men's semifinals.
Navratilova popped the question to Julia Lemigova in the Tennis Channel suite Saturday, drawing a loud cheer from the crowd.
"I was very nervous," Navratilova said later. "It came off. She said yes. It was kind of an out-of-body experience. You've seen people propose at sporting events before, in movies, in real life. Here it was happening to me. It was like I was watching myself do it."
The 57-year-old Navratilova won 18 Grand Slam singles titles, a mark she shares with Chris Evert. Serena Williams will try to match it in Sunday's women's final.
Navratilova said somebody suggested she propose during a changeover in the first match between Kei Nishikori and Novak Djokovic, but she didn't want to disturb the players in any way. The only problem was that Navratilova was later scheduled to play a "Champions" doubles match with Jana Novotna against Tracy Austin and Gigi Fernandez. She tried unsuccessfully to get the start postponed without telling anybody why, so she was fretting that the Nishikori-Djokovic match would go five sets. Fortunately, it ended in four.

OK, the butch lesbian and the lipstick lesbian. Thanks for the photo.
I saw the one you probably mean. It was taken with both in bikinis in San Tropez and Martina’s squeeze was topless. There are some people in this world that just ought not to wear bikinis.
I have always appreciated Navratilova’s professional and excellent critique of players, matches, and form. IMO, she is one of the best commentators in the business. Why would she diminish her profession with this personal tripe?
Always thought she looked more like Tom Petty...
...and that’s odd, because I could never tell Tom Petty and John Denver apart...
There are more revealing pics, but I don’t want to nauseate the folks here, so here goes...
...Good lord, what a waste of voluptuous femininity...excluding Marty, of course...
