Excerpts:


Sports2Day: Let's talk a little tennis. In women's tennis right now, there doesn't seem to be a rivalry like you and Chris Evert had. What are some of the rivalries that you like?

Navratilova: You know, the talent is sort of spread around and that means the rivalries are spread around. The Williams sisters aren't really playing now, but there could have been (a hot rivalry) in Serena and (Maria) Sharapova. But the Williamses are out of the picture for the most part right now. Of the crop that we have now, there are players that are injured so much and that makes it hard to get them all in the same tournament at the same time. There's also the depth of women's tennis, so you don't get to play each other as much. (Kim) Clijsters lost early (at the Nasdaq-100 Open), (Lindsay) Davenport didn't play. Because of all that, you don't have a solid rivalry. The potential is there for all kinds of rivalries - there's (Amelie) Mauresmo, Clijsters, (Martina) Hingis and Sharapova. There are some real contrasting styles out there, too. There are so many great matchups, but no rivalries at the moment. That doesn't mean there aren't fantastic matchups, though.

Sports2Day: Speaking of Hingis, what do you think of her comeback?

Navratilova: I think it's phenomenal. Once she gets a little more on her second serve, she'll be back. Maybe if she gets a little thicker, a little stronger. ... I think she can be phenomenal. I think she can win Grand Slams again."
