Charities
After having founded, many years ago, an own institution which took
care of unprivileged children (named "Martina Navratilova Youth
Foundation"), Martina gives now her support to several charities
and people she happens to meet. Martina explains it deeply in her
official website:

Animals
Martina loves animals very much... During her career she used to
travel all around the world with her dogs; do you remember little
Killer Dog, silent spectator of her trainings and press conferences?
Martina has always fought for animal rights, against no-use cruelty
of humans, and for environment protection. She supports several
important world organisations, giving voice to many of their campaigns,
and is vegetarian since 1993.
Women & Sport
As a sport lover, Martina usually helps promoting activities which
aim at giving women more familiarity with a constant sports practice.
Martina is also a member of the Women's Sports Foundation, created
by Billie Jean King in 1974.

Gay rights
Martina found a way to raise money for many important gay organisations,
which fight for reaching equal rights and respect in our society
and provide services as well as health programms for the entire
LGBT community: she launched a credit card called "Rainbow
Card"... Details in the official website linked below.

Television
From 1995 to 1999 Martina worked as tennis analyst for HBO, and
commentated on Wimbledon with her former colleagues Billie Jean
King and Mary Carillo. In 2000 she collaborated with Turner Network
Television (TNT) and CNN/Sports Illustrated, while in 2001 she worked
again as tennis analyst for TNT, and for the BBC during the women's
singles final.

Ice Hockey
In winter Martina used to play for the Women Association of Colorado
Hockey's league. Her team, called "Aspen Mother Puckers",
won the 1999-2000 league. In 2001 they ended the season as #2 in
the WACH standings, behind the "Rocky Mountain Rockets".

Out of Africa
On June 12, 1999 Martina inaugurated an exhibition of photos she
had taken during her safaris in Kenya. The "Out of Africa"
exhibition was held inside the Adria Palace, a Prague's old building
which had recently been renewed... In those days, Martina gave her
support to the 3duby project, which aimed at mantaining and preserving
the beauty of an ancient historical park, called "Stromovka
Park". In that occasion she also played a mixed doubles exhibition
match with Jan Kodes and Helena Sukova to raise money for the initiative.

SI Awards
Friday, December 2, 1999 Martina took part in the Sports Illustrated's
20th Century Sports Awards. The gala was held in New York City at
Madison Square Garden, where the world of sport met to celebrate
the 15 century's greatest athletes. A touching moment occured when
Muhammad Ali was elected Sportsman of the Century. Martina figured
among the six Individual Sports Women nominees, with Chris Evert
and Steffi Graf; the winner in their category was Babe Didrikson
Zaharias. Otherwise, Billie Jean King was chosen as one of the seven
athletes who "changed the game".

Induction news
Now it's official: Martina has entered the International Tennis
Hall of Fame, in the "Recent Player" category. The news
was announced on Tuesday, January 25, 2000, in Newport - Rhode Island.
The International Tennis Hall of Fame has named 175 people since
1955 among those who gave tennis significant contributions, at any
level. An essential condition to be elected is to have stopped playing
on the professional tour from five years at least. Other Hall of
Famers named on Tuesday are Australian Davis Cup star Malcolm Anderson
and Robert Kelleher, now a U.S. District Court judge in California;
he was president of the U.S. Lawn Tennis Association during the
first Open era times. The induction ceremony is scheduled for July,
15 next in Newport.

Testimonial
Martina is featured in a TV commercial. The new Subaru of America
advertising began at the end of March on the cable networks ESPN,
The Golf Channel and the Outdoor Life Network, and some ads were
also shown in some sports magazines and USA Today. Besides Martina,
the new 2001MY Subaru Forester was advertised also by two LPGA golfers,
Juli Inkster and Meg Mallon, and skier Diann Roffe-Steinrotter.
This was called the "What do we know?" campaign; after
having extolled the car performance, compared with the athletic
one, Martina ended smiling: "But what do we know? We're just
girls.'' Martina's only regret is that sponsors never featured her
for similar ads when she was a professional player, while she was
playing at her highest levels, because of her private life; now,
it means that times maybe are changing. In the September issue "Tennis
Magazine" talked about Martina's engagement and its significance
for women's sports.

Millennium March
On Sunday April, 30 Martina took part in the Millennium March for
Equality, the march on the Mall in Washington D.C. where the American

rights. Like at the previous march, which was in 1993, Martina made
a speech.

Honoring Lee Jackson
Prior to the 2001 Us Open, Martina and the Legends met in New York
City to honor Tour's on-site Tournament-Player Liaison Lee
Jackson at a cocktail reception. As some of you should remember,
Martina mentioned "Mama Lee" in her autobiography, telling
anecdotes going back to the Seventies and early Eighties, when Mrs.
Jackson was umpire and went sightseeing with the players.

Pam Shriver's election
Last week Pam Shriver and Mats
Wilander were elected
to the International Tennis Hall of Fame. It's sure a satisfaction
for Pam to receive this tribute in right and proper recognition
of her great career results, many of them achieved together with
Martina in women's doubles... The International Tennis Hall of Fame's
official website reported a Q&A with Mats and Pam during the
announcement; Pam mentioned Martina in several points, talking also
about Martina's actual competitiveness in the WTA Tour: "I
think my induction is more unique than most people who get into
the Hall of Fame. It's obviously very heavily weighted towards doubles
and one particular partnership. In fact, I tried to call Martina
in the last couple days. She's traveling. I wanted to leave a message
and just tell her, "Thanks, because without you I don't think
I'd be on this conference call." "What do you think about
her [Martina] being able to still compete on the pro level at her
age?" "Well, look,
people like Martina Navratilova and her talent come along once
or twice every century, I'm convinced. She is exceptional. I mean,
obviously I saw it up close playing the deuce side, looking over
the ad side, some magic coming from her racquet. Even though she's
in her mid 40s and I'm not yet 40, but I will be the week before
the induction, so it will be a big month for me in July, Martina
can still play doubles at the highest level. I think if she allowed
herself to play singles, we'd all be pretty amazed how high she
could get to in singles, still. It's too tough on the body. She
doesn't want to have that kind of pressure. Mats spoke about the
passion for the game. I think a lot of the great champions and a
lot of the people, virtually everybody who has ever been inducted
in the International Tennis Hall of Fame, has that passion for the
game."
Physical Activity Day
On Wednesday, May 1 Martina was in Washington D.C. to help the government
publicize the release of the "Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention" study on child obesity. According to the study,
"...overweight children are being hospitalized at dramatically
rising rates for diabetes, sleep apnea and other diseases that obesity
causes or worsens...". Also, "...about 13 percent of children
and adolescents are overweight or obese, more than double the number
two decades ago. Experts blame... factors that encourage kids to
be sedentary". Martina played her part racing through an obstacle
course with youngsters to show them that staying fit is fun, and
warning them about video games: "You're not going to become
Michael Jordan by playing Space Invaders."

On July 13, Martina was present at Pam Shriver's induction into

Martina & the U.S.A.
On July, 17 Martina was interviewed by CNN anchor Connie Chung during
the show "Connie Chung Tonight". The topic were Martina's
recent comments on the actual political situation in her adoptive
homeland, quoted by German newspaper "Die Zeit". Martina's
thoughts, which she expressed with her usual frankness, gave rise
to various reactions, some according to her point of view, some
not at all. As far as I'm concerned, in those weeks I received a
lot of e-mails which proofed the "hornets' nest" Martina
stirred up... you can read both Martina's article on "Die Zeit"
and the CNN transcript of "Connie Chung Tonight" (Martina's
interview is at the middle of the page).
