 Navratilova won nine Wimbledon singles titles |
Martina Navratilova's hopes of playing at Eastbourne were ended in the second round of the qualifying tournament. The 47-year-old American lost 6-4 6-2 to Russia's Elena Likhovtseva and then admitted she may not take up the offer of a wild card at Wimbledon.
"Likhovtseva is very good on grass and she passed me as good as anybody," said the American.
"The body is not working as well as it used to but overall I'm still doing pretty well."
Britain's Elena Baltacha made it through with an impressive 6-4 7-5 win over Tamarine Tanasugarn of Thailand, while China's Jie Zheng beat Emily Webley-Smith 7-6 6-3.
