In a guest appearance on Portlandia tomorrow, Martina Navratilova plays "herself as a disgruntled customer of a feminist bookstore in Portland," SI.com wrote. "When she leaves a negative review of the store on Yelp, Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen, in all their wigged-out, granola fashion glory, track her down at a bar."
Brownstein is a former high school varsity tennis player and a major tennis fan. In a recent interview, she gushed about Navratilova, saying:
"All the actors have been amazing, but it's just so surreal to work with basically a legend and literally one of the greatest tennis players of all time. She's just in the highest echelon of that sporting role and I think it's because she wasn't an actor or comedian or a musician, it just lends itself to this kind of surreality and everyone was a little bit awestruck and star struck."
