Martina Navratilova plans to hit tennis balls off the top of Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, this week. The tennis legend is climbing Tanzania’s 19,340-foot mountain to raise money for the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation. Navratilova, 54, has never climbed higher than 12,000 feet, but lives in Aspen, so is somewhat used to altitude. “It’s just a basic hike except you get to be pretty high and there’s not much air up there, but it doesn’t require much mountain climbing experience,” Navratilova said. “I’m bringing one racket and I’ll hit a few balls from the top to see how far they can travel.”
