Martina Navratilova's biography

At a glance

  • Legendary tennis player with numerous Grand Slam titles
  • Advocate for LGBTQ rights and mental health awareness
  • Author of autobiographies and mystery thrillers
Martina Navratilova is a legendary tennis player, often described as the greatest in singles, doubles, and mixed doubles. With her fitness and determination, she revolutionised women’s tennis. At 18, after losing the US Open semi-final in 1975, she defected from Czechoslovakia to the United States. Martina is the only player to have spent over 200 weeks as world number one in both singles and doubles. She won nine Wimbledon singles titles, part of her total of 18 Grand Slam singles titles. In women’s doubles, she secured 31 Grand Slam titles and 10 in mixed doubles. She is one of three women who won singles, doubles, and mixed doubles titles at all four Grand Slams. Her last Grand Slam victory came in the 2006 US Open mixed doubles, just before her 50th birthday. Over her 33-year career, she won 354 titles, including 167 in singles. Martina has appeared on various television shows, including I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, Dancing with the Stars, and Will and Grace. She currently presents and commentates for the BBC, Tennis Channel, and Sky Sports and speaks at events worldwide. In addition to her autobiography, Martina has authored several books, including Tennis My Way and Shape Your Self, focusing on fitness and diet. She has also addressed the mental health of gay American teenagers in Crisis and penned three mystery thrillers featuring a fictional tennis champion. Martina has received numerous accolades, including seven WTA Player of the Year awards and the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2009, she was honoured with the Philippe Chatrier Award for her contributions to tennis and became an Honorary Fellow of Lucy Cavendish College, University of Cambridge, in 2016.

Can PepTalk help plan the speaker programme for my event?

Yes. Beyond booking a single speaker, PepTalk helps shape a full programme, matching voices to your agenda, audience, and goals across a day or a series. It is a consultative service, not just a booking. Tell us about your event at getapeptalk.com.

What does 'typical fee range' mean?

Speaker fees vary based on factors like event location, format, and availability. The 'typical fee range' figure gives you a baseline of someone's local, in-person rate sits, and we'll confirm the exact fee when you get in touch.

What logistics should I prepare before my speakers arrive?

Before your speakers arrive, confirm AV is tested, a green room is ready, and printed schedules are on hand. Prepare warm introductions for each speaker and brief your team on timings. PepTalk speakers come fully briefed, making event-day logistics smoother and stress-free from the start.

What's the difference between a keynote speaker, an MC, and event entertainment?

A keynote speaker delivers an inspiring or informative talk. An MC hosts and guides the event, keeping things on track. Entertainment — like a band or comedian — creates atmosphere and fun. Each serves a different purpose, and PepTalk can help you book the right talent for all three.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule a speaker booking?

Life happens! Most speaker bookings can be rescheduled with reasonable notice. Cancellation terms vary by speaker, but PepTalk handles all the details & contracts transparently upfront so there are no surprises. Our team supports you through any changes, making the process as smooth as possible.

Have all the speakers on the website previously worked with PepTalk?

Not necessarily. While the speakers listed on our website may not have worked with PepTalk in the past, they are recognized professionals in the industry and known to engage in similar events and engagements. Alongside direct talent, we work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies, to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.

What information do I need to provide when booking a comedian?

When booking a comedian, share your event format, audience size and demographics, any sensitive topics to avoid, and the tone you're after. PepTalk makes this easy — their booking process guides you through a simple checklist so nothing gets missed and your comedian is perfectly matched to your crowd.

What information do I need to provide when booking a speaker?

When booking a speaker, you'll need your event date, audience details, format, key objectives, and budget. Having these ready makes the process smooth and straightforward. PepTalk's team uses this information to match you with the perfect speaker quickly and efficiently.

Can I book entertainment and speakers as a package?

Yes! At PepTalk, you can absolutely bundle entertainment and speakers into one seamless package. It's a great way to create a fuller event experience while enjoying simplified booking and better value. Our team handles everything together, making the process effortless for you.

Can I request autographs, personal greetings, signed merchandise, or fan mail from the speakers?

Sorry, we do not accept requests for autographs, signed merchandise, fan mail, or any non-commercial contact with the speakers, comedians or entertainers.

How can I report an issue or make changes to an expert profile?

If you notice something that needs attention or have any queries regarding an expert speaker profile, please email us at experts@getapeptalk.com, and we’ll be happy to assist.

How far in advance should I book a motivational speaker?

Book a motivational speaker at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for popular speakers or large events. Top speakers get booked quickly, so earlier is always better. For major conferences or peak seasons, booking 12 months ahead ensures you secure your first choice.

Help, I need a last-minute speaker for my event!

No problem! We often handle last-minute requests and can secure or replace a speaker, comedian, awards or event host quickly — almost anywhere in the world. However, speaker availability might be limited as the event date approaches. Email hello@getapeptalk.com with your requirements.
