		Jana Novotna- Just like Sabatini, Jana had the game to push Steffi to 3 sets.
		Sabatini - Career was largely a bust, and Sabatini got lucky beating Steffi for one measly slam.
		Jana Novotna - Outside of Jana beating Steffi at Wimbledon, should have done more.

		Novotna tenderly caressed the giant silver salver, kissed it over and over, and leaned her cheek on it as if it were a pillow she didn't want to let go.
		Novotna reached the final this time determined to rewrite her legacy, to put away the failures and excuses and move beyond being called, derisively, the best woman player never to win a major.
		Novotna went right at it in the second set, breaking Tauziat in the opening game with two volleys, a backhand pass and a backhand return as she showed off the full repertoire of her shots.

	Saying goodbye again
		Against Steffi Graf in the championship match, in the tournament she was supposed to win, Jana Novotna surrendered to her nerves and let slip a 6-7 6-1 4-1 lead to lose the Wimbledon final in such traumatic circumstances.
		Wimbledon 1993 would then turn out to be a showcase featuring Jana Novotna against herself and Steffi Graf, facing the challenge of both her nerve and her greatest opponent, and it would play itself under the most emotionally traumatic of circumstances.
		Jana herself revealed last year at the Chase Championships (where she was defeated by Graf in the first round) that perhaps she had been prevented from accomplishing more in the game because of the dominance of Steffi Graf.

		With the win, Novotna moves on to the semifinals, where she is guaranteed to face an old foe, either Conchita Martinez or Arantxa Sanchez Vicario.
		Novotna thought that her opponent was having racquet problems: "I remember that she broke her string in her racquet at the beginning of the second set, and I knew that from that point on she wasn't quite happy with the racquet, that it was maybe a bit too tight."
		Novotna explained, "I said this time I wasn't going after her or anything, but this high volley was right there, so I said I don't care where I'm going to hit it.

		Jana Novotna, of the Czech Republic, drops to her knees as she defeats France's Nathalie Tauziat in the women's singles final on Wimbledon's Centre Court Saturday, July 4, 1998.
		And so Novotna is playing the Australian Open for the first time in four years, reshuffling her schedule for an extra shot at a major championship.
		A finalist at the Australian in 1991 but an early-round loser the next three years, Novotna skipped the year's first grand slam event the past three years because she felt the seasons were too long and she needed extra rest to prepare for the grind of the ensuing campaigns.

	OnTheLine at the Canadian Open
		An exasperated Novotna was furious at the umpire, George Rustscheff, who was overruling calls she thought were good and not overruling calls she didn't like, and an obscenity came from Jana's mouth that earned her a warning from Rustscheff.
		Novotna was not to win another game, and it was not long before a delighted Sanchez could savour a sweet three-set win and yet another appearance in the Canadian Open final.
		Novotna, still seething about umpire Rustscheff -- "I saw him [tonight] for the first time, and hopefully the last time" -- she stopped short of blaming her defeat on the poor guy.
