Navratilova wins at Wimbledon

London - Martina Navratilova, who won 20 Wimbledon titles during her career, added another All England Club gong at the age of 53 when she won the ladies' invitation doubles on Sunday.

Navratilova and Jana Novotna beat Tracy Austin and Kathy Rinaldi-Stunkel 7-5, 6-0 in the final on Court One.

The eight-team competition contained pairings like Martina Hingis and Anna Kournikova - playing her first competitive matches since 2003 - and Conchita Martinez and Nathalie Tauziat.

Navratilova won nine Wimbledon singles titles and was present on Saturday to see Serena Williams win her fourth.
