Navratilova Wins Wimbledon Ninth Singles Title
Martina Navratilova defeats Zina Garrison 6 4 6 1 to claim her ninth Wimbledon singles crown in a near flawless serve and volley display. The 33 year old previously tied for most titles with Helen Wills Moody and now sits three titles from Billie Jean King's Wimbledon career record. Garrison, who upset Graf and Seles to reach the final, faded at net and on volleys as Navratilova dominated with serve. Becker Edberg men’s final set for Sunday marks a rare three straight Wimbledon final meeting by the same two players.
