Navrátilová cured of cancer

Retired Czech tennis legend Martina Navrátilová has been cured of cancer, the Czech News Agency announced on Tuesday. Navrátilová, who lives in the US, was diagnosed with stage 1 cancer of the larynx last November as well as breast cancer, which had returned after 13 years in remission.

During a long and successful career, Navrátilová won a total of 59 Grand Slam titles and was one of only three players in history to win in all three categories: singles, doubles and mixed doubles. She spent a total of 332 weeks at the top of the world rankings and in 2006, she became the oldest Grand Slam winner in history when she won her last major title, the mixed doubles crown at the US Open, shortly before her 50th birthday.
