Navratilova focussing on Olympics

Vienna: Martina Navratilova said she will compete in doubles at the Vienna Grand Prix, but added that her focus this season is to play at the Athens Olympics.

The former world No. 1 agreed to play alongside United States countrywoman Lisa Raymond in Vienna to prepare for the upcoming French Open and the Olympics in Athens, both played on clay.

``I want to gain some more match practice before the Paris tournament to be best prepared for the Grand Slam event. And I have certainly not come here to lose,'' Navratilova said at Vienna's airport. — AP
