...went by a rich variety of aliases: Salim. Andres Martinez. Taurus. Glen Gebhard. Hector Hevodidbon. Michel Assaf. During an infamous career that spanned two decades, Ilyich Ramirez Sanchez used all those names.

Over these 22 years she has played in 12 finals, losing only to Graf twice and now to Martinez. She has teamed up with various partners to win the women's doubles seven times. She fooled around in the mixed doubles too, winning that title twice. Navratilova seems to have been a fixture at Wimbledon almost as long as radio commentator and former champ Fred Perry, whose last title came...
