If Novotna had won this match I think she would have won the tournament. Her record against Martinez was excellent. I wonder if Jana realised that and it explained part of her collapse in sets 2 and 3
I also think that Novotna crushed down mentally. Similar as in the finals of Wimbledon 1997 where she already led the match with Graf 4-1 3rd set. In spite that she unfortunately lost.

Sukova, still one of my too 10 all time players
That's not Sukova.
To think that she destroyed Novotna 6-0 6-1 in the last 2 sets is quite something

Jana had a shoulder injury
@@skylaxx The match with Graf was the final of 1993. In 1997 she lost to Hingis after leading one set to love
And she won wimbledon in 1998
