Tennis legend Martina Navratilova has announced she will be working at Wimbledon this year several months after hitting out at the BBC over gender pay. The 61-year-old said in a tweet that she was �very happy� to reveal the news, adding that it was �good to see the BBC taking gender pay equality seriously�. It comes after Navratilova spoke of her shock at discovering fellow Wimbledon pundit John McEnroe was paid at least 10 times more than her.

The bottom line is that male voices are valued more than women�s voices.� At the time, the BBC said the roles performed by McEnroe and Navratilova were �simply not comparable�, adding: �John and Martina perform different roles in the team, and John�s role is of a different scale, scope and time commitment� John�s pay reflects all of this - gender isn�t a factor.� Former tennis player John McEnroe at Wimbledon It is not clear whether Navratilova�s pay has now been increased, or what her earnings will be this year.
