Sue Barker presents a documentary looking at the life and career of tennis star Martina Navratilova. They first met on the tennis tour in 1974, so Sue was there throughout the landmarks of Martina's life: defection, coming out and breaking records. In this programme, Martina takes Sue back to Revnice, her home in the Czech Republic, and allows the cameras to film her wedding in New York and their glamorous celebrations in Miami. As Martina approaches her 60th birthday, there are also insights from her sister Jana and greatest rival Chris Evert. We also hear from some of her greatest fans - Sir Elton John, Stephen Fry and other legendary tennis stars including Billie Jean King, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Pam Shriver and Rod Laver. (BBC)
