Martina navratilova wants to set up an academy in Florida and teach young players the subtleties of grass court tennis. Before that, she8217;s devising a special lesson for 19-year-old Gisela Dulco of Argentina. Dulco beat Navratlova in the first round at the French Open last month, prompting claims by some players that the 18-time Grand Slam singles champion didn8217;t deserve her wild card entry granted by organisers. The pair will meet again in the second round at Wimbledon. Navratilova advanced on a 6-0, 6-1 win over Catalina Castano, becoming the oldest player in more than 80 years to win a women8217;s singles match at Wimbledon, and Dulco upset 23rd-seeded Jelena Dokic 6-3, 6-3. The problem for Dulco is that grass is Navratilova8217;s favourite surface, the Czech-born American having won half of her 18 major singles titles at the All England Club. 8212; AP
