Tennis legend Navratilova out of Prague Open

Czech-born tennis legend Martina Navratilova has been knocked out of the Prague Open. Navratilova and doubles partner Barbora Strycova were beaten in the quarter finals by Americans Ashley Harkleroad and Bethanie Mattek. Navratilova, who is 49, and is a former World No. 1 as well as nine-time Wimbledon champion, emigrated from her native Czechoslovakia in the mid 1970s. Her appearance in this year's Open was the first time she took part in competition in Prague since 1986.
