Navratilova slams Trump: Tennis great wore 'IMPEACH' on her hat during Wimbledon legends match

Martina Navratilova famously sported an 'IMPEACH' hat during the Wimbledon legends match last year, showing her displeasure at Donald Trump and his reign as US President. The message is a clear indication of the 18-time Grand Slam champion's stance on the debate over whether the U.S. House of Representatives should begin impeachment measures for President Donald Trump over questions of circumvention of justice, election interference and general suitability for office. Martina Navratilova was asked to remove the hat midway through the match and she duly obliged.

According to The New York Times’ Ben Rothenberg, the 63-year-old said that she forgot she had it on. Rothenberg claimed that it was not the first time Martina Navratilova had displayed political fashion statements on the court at Grand Slams. The Wimbledon legend had her shirt trimmed with a rainbow ribbon along the cuffs and hem during a match at the Margaret Court Arena. The rainbow trim display came in after Australian legend Margaret Court made homophobic remarks.
