Martina has won the US Open 4 times, so being comfortable about the venue, she made a move and proposed to her longtime girlfriend Julia Lemigova
The big question was made in the Tennis Chanel suite with everybody cheering.
“I was very nervous. It came off. She said yes. It was kind of an out-of-body experience. You’ve seen people propose at sporting events before, in movies, in real life. Here it was happening to me. It was like I was watching myself do it.”
Martina and Julia would like to get married in Florida where they live as a judge ruled that the state’s ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional. The state will appeal. The important thing is that now Martina and Julia are happily engaged and ready to go for more.
Well done!
