The 18-time Grand Slam winner shared a photo of herself outside the café

Tennis legend Martina Navratilova was turned away from The Ivy Café in Wimbledon after arriving with her pet dog, Lulu, nestled in a shoulder bag.
The 18-time Grand Slam winner shared a photo of herself outside the café, revealing that she was denied entry due to the pet policy and had to switch to “plan B” for her meal.
Her post on X, which has garnered 1.1 million views, sparked mixed reactions. While some backed the café’s no-pet rule, many others praised the 68-year-old for her humility.
