Statuesque Czech-born Martina completed an impressive cycle in January 2003 when aged 46, she won the Australian Open Tennis Mixed-Doubles crown, beating Todd Woodbridge and Eleni Daniilidou 6-4, 7-5 with partner India's Leander Paes.
It was the one Grand Slam title to elude her. As a result, she now hold at least one title each in singles, doubles and mixed doubles at all four major tournaments.

I think growing up and seeing a legend unfold makes u remember them in a topic like this, for that reason Martina would get my vote, for all her many titles, but continuing to reach for more well into her 40s in a sport not kind to age as a rule. She is so fit and a legend in her own lifetime.

Yes, it's her ability to return out of de facto retirement (when she'd seemingly been toying with the sport) to win yet another Grand Slam title that underlines her commitment, ability and professionalism.
