4 Grand Slam victories from 8 finals played, 26 WTA Tour victories, 3 Federation Cups and a world No. 3 ranking are the factual summaries of Hana Mandlikova’s career.

Beyond the facts and figures, Hana Mandlikova’s greatest victory is to have made a success of her life and to be happy:

 

“As you get older, tennis matches are not as important as life, or kids, or family — things like that. I think the most important thing, when you stop playing tennis… is to enjoy your life and to be happy.”
