- coopaloop, on 07/05/2008, -3/+56I'm not buying it. She probably came out trying, but when Navratilova beat her 6-0 in the first she probably wasn't mentally tough enough to hang in there and gave up. She's probably convinced herself it was that phony i screwed up routine crap, but I bet she just got her ass handed to her.
- tjdegroat, on 07/06/2008, -2/+49The only thing dumber than throwing a Wimbledon final is talking about throwing a Wimbledon final 25 years later. Gimme a break...
- CarStan, on 07/06/2008, -1/+42So what, i could've won the last 5 Wimbledons. but Federer once gave me change when we met at the supermarket, so i decided not to play tennis anymore at all, to not upset him.
- inactive, on 07/06/2008, -2/+25Yeah right. If a desperate 18 year old female runaway went looking to Navratilova for a shoulder to cry on we all know what would really have happened. Buried as inaccurate.
- SirReally, on 07/05/2008, -3/+26In a word: ridiculous.
- inactive, on 07/06/2008, -0/+10Doesn't Jaeger surface every year or so around this time with some wacky claim? She might do good charity work but she's also a total attention whore who didn't seem to realize retiring from tennis meant people would stop paying attention to her unless she pulled stunts like this.
- averagejoesgym, on 07/06/2008, -0/+9It may be totally true. However, it is inaccurate to say she "let her win". If Jaeger had given 100%, there is nothing to say Martina would have not still won.
- explnx, on 04/27/2009, -0/+8I don't know, the daily mail via fox news? Can't get much more credible than that.
- aflaks, on 07/06/2008, -0/+6never trust a nun who goes to the press
- flyzipper, on 07/06/2008, -0/+6Some context to put Jaeger's claim into perspective ...
Following adoption of Lieberman's exercise plan and using graphite racquets, Navratilova became the most dominant player in women's tennis. After losing in the fourth round of the first Grand Slam event of 1983 - the French Open - she captured the year's three remaining Grand Slam titles (the Australian Open was held in December at that time). Navratilova’s loss at the French Open was her only singles defeat during that year, during which she established an 86–1 record. Her winning percentage was the best ever for a professional tennis player. During 1982, 1983, and 1984, Navratilova lost a total of only six singles matches.

- inactive, on 07/06/2008, -1/+5Agreed, Complete *****.
- sUGArDawg, on 07/06/2008, -10/+12Navratilova is a man
- flashback99, on 07/06/2008, -1/+3Also, the Daily Mail is typically full of *****.
- Hosalabad, on 07/06/2008, -0/+2Yep, gonna have to call her out as a liar, she never even won a Grand Slam singles event.
- vroom101, on 07/06/2008, -0/+2"Why I became a nun, by former tennis star Andrea Jaeger": http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-560743/W ... (www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-560743/Why-I-nun-tennis-star-Andrea-Jaeger.html)
- seventhc, on 07/06/2008, -1/+3In the end, the results are the same. She lost fair and square.
- coopaloop, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1HAHA
- nydwarf, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1So does that mean she has to put an asterisk next to one of the NINE ***** TITLES she won? I mean come on who is this broad trying to convince, us or herself?
- bashar129, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1There was an ESPN special about this a couple of years ago. She said that tennis was never her love, it's just that she was phenomenally good at it. she didn't want to make her life entirely about tennis. She did say she threw the match in that interview, but never said anything about going into Martina's home.
- m1a2c2kali, on 07/06/2008, -1/+2did she at least put money on the game?
- RMSzero, on 07/06/2008, -3/+4Sex?
- hollywoodphony, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1I'm totally confused about one thing: why is Fox Sports on MSN?
- Setari, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1How do you quote The Daily Mail without sarcasm like that?
- ManicMyna, on 07/06/2008, -6/+6 a penguin talking horse ***** in the daily fail - they must've not had a princess diana related story or another crusade against video games to run that day
- inactive, on 07/06/2008, -1/+1a lying nun LOL, I love nun porn, it's so hot
- inactive, on 07/06/2008, -0/+0its on msn.foxsports.cnn.bbc.walmart.com it must be true.
- Splicernyc, on 07/06/2008, -4/+3Utterly poor sportsmanship to make these sorts of claims this many years later for what? Publicity? Navratilova would have had to have been sedated with animal tranquilizers to lose to Jaeger.
- bblande, on 07/06/2008, -3/+1....who happened to be a very good tennis player.
- chihsuanmen, on 07/06/2008, -3/+1Nuns...no sense of humor.
