DANCING WITH THE STARS - “Episode 1402" -- After last week’s sensational season opener, which proved to be one of the most competitive season premieres ever, all 12 couples returned to the ballroom with another fabulous lineup of extraordinary performances. This week the couples danced either the Jive or the Quickstep, MONDAY, MARCH 26 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. (ABC/ADAM TAYLOR)TONY DOVOLANI, MARTINA NAVRATILOVA

“Dancing With the Stars” was a love game for Martina Navratilova.

The tennis champ was eliminated from the ABC dance competition Tuesday and became the first star dismissed from the series’ new season.

“It was an amazing experience,” Navratilova said. “I wish it had lasted longer.”

She came into the results episode with the lowest scores from the judges and was disappointed, but apparently not surprised, at her dismissal. She said she gave it everything she had but confessed to mistakes during her jive routine.

“I blew it,” she said while watching clips from Monday’s show.

Returning to compete next week will be actors Jaleel White, Roshon Fagan, William Levy, Jack Wagner and Melissa Gilbert; singers Gladys Knight, Gavin DeGraw and Katherine Jenkins; TV personalities Maria Menounos and Sherri Shepherd; and football star Donald Driver.
