Martina Navratilova usually won her marathon battles on the tennis court, but has settled for something less than outright victory in her bitter legal fight with a former partner. The New York Post reports the nine-time Wimbledon champion has settled with Toni Layton for an estimated $3 million.

Layton’s lawsuit contended Navratilova ended their eight-year relationship suddenly, leaving her without financial support. Layton left her husband for Navratilova.

Lawyers for both women told the Post that all disputes were resolved and the settlement was confidential. Layton had threatened to divulge secrets about the tennis champion, telling the Post that, “There are a lot of skeletons in Martina’s closet. It is more like a storage facility full of them, and I know them all.”

Navratilova settled a similar dispute in the ’90s after ending a seven-year relationship with Judy Nelson. Last year, Navratilova went public with her latest relationship, with 1991 Miss Universe contestant Julia Lemigova.
