How horrible. She was wonderful. I went to her 1997 final against Hingis - great game and very fond memories of her general presence on court. She had a great, stylish game.

Cancer at 49....Jesus.
Remember the finals she won and lost, certainly was cheering for her.
RIP.

She always came across very well.

That's a real shame

RIP Jana
