The nine-time Wimbledon champion became one of the most famous Cold War defectors when she left her then-Communist homeland of Czecholslovakia for a new life in America.

She was granted US citizenship in 1981 and lives in Florida with her wife, former Russian model Julia Lemigova. But she says the country she risked everything to make her home in is unrecognisable now.
