Former BBC presenter Sue Barker was among the high-profile friends to join in. Morgan added: “Well Clare Balding sent you ‘Something Inside So Strong’ by Labi Siffre.
“Billie Jean King sent you ‘I Will Survive’ by Gloria Gaynor… Pam Shriver, ‘Both Sides Now’ by Joni Mitchell which had the lyrics: ‘I’ve looked at life from both sides now. From win and lose and still somehow it’s life’s illusions I recall. I really don’t know life at all’. And Sue Barker just ‘I believe in you’ by Il Divo.”
Navratilova said: “I know, I mean total tear-jerkers all of them and then what they said to me, personally, outside of the song was just so meaningful.
“I had to just like pass it to myself a little bit at a time because it was so overwhelming, and you don’t realise how much you mean to people until you have something like that, and that’s really special. So, the tennis world has been amazing. The support that I’ve gotten through everybody.”
