MELBOURNE, Jan. 25 (UPI) -- Already considered one of the greatest tennis players ever, Martina Navratilova made history in her sport again Sunday at the Australian Open.
Navratilova and India's Leander Paes defeated Todd Woodbridge of Australia and Eleni Daniilidou of Greece, 6-4, 7-5, to capture the mixed doubles title.
The 46-year-old Navratilova, playing this event after a 14-year absence, became the oldest Grand Slam champion in tennis history. Sunday's victory also gave her a career sweep of all three titles -- singles, doubles and mixed -- at all four majors.
The Australian mixed doubles crown was the only major title missing from Navratilova's storied career, which boasts 18 Grand Slam singles crowns, 31 major doubles championships and eight mixed doubles titles.
