Navratilova retires with mixed doubles win

Martina Navratilova was the other known retirement from tennis going into this year's US Open - congrats to her (and her partner Bob Bryan, of the Bryan twins).

A month shy of her 50th birthday, Navratilova closed out her competitive career Saturday night in fitting fashion: a mixed doubles championship at the U.S. Open for her 59th Grand Slam title.

Navratilova teamed with Bob Bryan to beat Kueta Peschke and Martin Damm 6-2, 6-3 before an appreciative crowd that stood and cheered throughout the final game.

"See, if you play long enough, good things happen," she told the fans. "I should know."

"It's been quite a run," she said. Fox News
