MARTINA NAVRATILOVA - NAVRATILOVA SLAMS YOUNG TENNIS STARS

Lesbian sporting legend MARTINA NAVRATILOVA has slammed young tennis stars for their "power-heavy" approach to the game. The 50-year-old star - who was granted US citizenship in 1981 - has announced plans to open a tennis academy in her native Czech Republic - but wants the staff to teach a less aggressive form of the game than the skills displayed by ROGER FEDERER and MARTINA HINGIS. She says, "I'm not too keen on the way tennis is taught, particularly in the United States. "I want to concentrate on a more varied form of tennis, more subtle than the style displayed by Martina Hingis, JUSTINE HENIN or Roger Federer." "I want children to learn something. We have to show coaches how they need to coach tennis."
