Ms Lemigova said yes.

Speaking after the proposal, Sky News quotes Navratilova as saying: "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."

The couple have been in a relationship since 2006 and plan to marry in Florida, where they reside.
