Origin
and identity

Hana Mandlíková's inventive all-court tennis repeatedly interrupted the dominance of her era's most celebrated champions.

Mandlíková could win on grass, clay and hard courts, making her difficult to reduce to a single specialty. Her four major singles titles were spread across Melbourne, Paris and New York.

She represented Czechoslovakia in three consecutive Federation Cup-winning teams before later playing under Australia's flag. Coaching then offered another route to major success, including her work with Jana Novotna before the 1998 Wimbledon title.
