WATCH: Navratilova name-dropped on "This Is Us"

Published Nov 16, 2017

As if having yourself appear on a coin isn't enough, Martina Navratilova was just name-dropped on one of today's most popular shows, This Is Us.

On Tuesday night's episode of the NBC Emmy-award winning drama, Kevin (played by Justin Hartley), has shut himself in a hotel room for so long that the housekeeping maid started to worry. Ignoring the "Do Not Disturb" sign, Martina comes knocking.

"Martina, like Navratilova right, tennis player?" Kevin says. "You play tennis? I don't play either. She was great though."

Yes, she was. The 18-time Grand Slam champion has got to be used to being synonymous with tennis history, but now she can say she's still very much "in."
