Jana Novotna's Wimbledon journey

[@richardmacken9410]

One of the most derserving Wimbledon Champions,RIP Jana.

[@lesandres23]

I’m here because Krejcikova is in the 2024 Wimbledon final.

[@TORRES999ify]

And she has now won it . Great tribute she paid to her too

[@danielmorgan164]

And now her protégé has won Wimbledon with Jana looking down. She lives on through Barbara 😊

[@Jukka70]

She was a class act. I can't begin to express how happy I was when she won. It's hard to believe that she is gone, and so young. She made an impact

[@kosta88816]

Everyone Was So Happy When Won. A True Class Act. 🌟🌟🌟

[@chrisaria2627]

Legends never die.

[@JakobTennisMB]

There's no fairness in this world that she left us so young.

[@stephenbaker2105]

Always missed, but especially when Wimbledon comes around each year. A true champion.

[@64andyjh]

As an Englishman and long time Wimbledon follower, other than Virginia Wade's victory all those years ago in 1977, I cannot think of a more emotional and deserving win than when Jana Novotna finally did it on her third attempt. Especially poignant as her coach was unsuccessful finalist Hana Mandlikova, who must have felt like the runner-up curse was finally lifted that day. RIP Jana.

[@fitzyehboah8289]

Along with Goran Winning 2001 Wimbledon Best emotional moment in Tennis..

[@wonjubhoy]

Andy murray winning in 2013 was very emotional too.

[@raghavendrar7179]

💯

[@kaderous82]

And Barbora 2021 at Roland Garros 😉

[@BobbyDick22785]

If Becker had just beaten Sampras in 95 -.-

[@GeoAce777]

Agassi was pretty RAW too 😏

[@FertilityTV]

Jana Novotna was one of my favorite players on Wimbledon. No one deserves it more to win Wimbledon than Jana. She was good enough to win it 3 times in a row.

[@katerinadicamella]

I remembered the final. myself was crying when she hit the final shot and won the match. I'm so happy for her still just to think about it now!! She will always be my favorite female player

[@justineandserena]

Many people also thought Justine henin who was similar and had the game for grass would eventually become third time lucky an win Wimbledon... but she didn’t ..

[@gustavodelgado405]

She will live forever in our hearts!

[@sheldonm779]

Rest is peace Jana. Amazing grace in defeat and in victory.

[@unrechtspakt2000]

it's not possible to watch withou starting to cry....

[@alistairmills7608]

True

[@76trombones419]

Her friendship with the Duchess of Kent was lovely. There embrace when Jana finally won it was like greeting an old friend. Chokes me up watching this.

[@pueraeternus111]

Martina Navratilova was inconsolable when she heard her best friend -- Jana -- had passed away secretly. It was a blow that she couldn't overcome. Jana was there beside Martina when the 9-time Wimbledon champion was undergoing chemo. Literally, it was Jana driving Martina to the doctor.

[@Adoni3]

That is simply heartbreaking

[@justineandserena]

Tress Braga good hell I never knew this... I never knew Martina Navratilova had cancer an went thru all that!?

[@sujanyadebnath4622]

@WENLAN XU thanks God...🙏

[@Adoni3]

@@justineandserena she has just been diagnosed with throat and breast cancer

[@brianno27]

graf's sportsmanship and elegance though :)

[@dwightknowles4805]

This brings me to tears every time. The Duchess of Kent consoling her & then finally congratulating her are the most emotional moments in tennis. RIP Jana

[@tehaueter]

What a magical journey for a wonderful champion and person...Jana is very much missed...

[@blahblahlablah]

So happy for her. What a wonderful tribute.

[@scottread]

It was utterly terrible that Jana - the ultimate fighter - died so, so young. Such a wonderful lady.

[@TheRobelectro]

Una verdadera Guerrera, se te extraña mucho en la cancha Jana, seguro desde el cielo estarás viendo los partidos, besos hasta allá. Grande Jana 💚

[@augusto5123]

Beautiful moment from Jana Novotna ! She was great! I will never forget her beautiful volleys!

[@cooswillemse7551]

Actually crying watching this I watched that famous match against Steffi Graf live and it was just unbelievably sad Hearing that she passed away made the emotions of that day come up again

[@gkannan16]

She was true legend..won multiple grand slams and Olympic medals...RIP jana

[@Iam-vr3po]

Aww I'm so happy her dream came true she so deserved to win.

[@oza801]

I can’t still believe there is no Jana and this video is full of emotion in each second.

[@Msclaret]

Remembering Jana Novotna, who died a year ago today, RIP Jana xx

[@bhatt6873]

Inspirational Life. RIP Jana Novotna

[@stephaniesanders1536]

Such a bright smile; a lady who inspired many people with her determination and courage. One of the best tennis players and beautiful to watch. So sad to lose her battle with cancer at only 49 years old...always missed.

[@honeybeebadger]

Brilliant RIP Jana

[@padfoot5304]

This made me cry

[@anshumann.v.n.7486]

The best tribute Wimbledon could have given.. I always get goosebumps whenever I see her lifting that winner's shield

[@elaustraliano]

That brought a tear to my eye. Beautiful footage and memories!

[@wallyraza3419]

I think this have become my favorite story in tennis 💚

[@sunritroykarmakar4406]

goran

[@pavelrakyta2688]

As a big tennis fan I saw all Jana Novotna's finals, the crushing defeat in 1993, truly heartbreaking for all Czech fans but especially for her, I was so happy for her when she finally won it in 1998. And now Barbora Krejcikova ... simply amazing.

[@elquienelquien1890]

Game made for grass. I was so happy when she finally won. RIP Jana.

[@justineandserena]

Many people thought Justine henin was going to be like Jana novotona.. and third time lucky end up going to a Wimbledon final an win it..but Justine only went to the final 2 times .. but many thought she’d go to a third an finally win it., but choked on the 2007 semi final

[@arturocordoba159]

Jana, nunca te olvidare, soy fanático del tenis, vivo en un lugar tan lejos como la Patagonia Argentina y esa imagen llorando en el hombro de la Duquesa, será parte del tenis por siempre, descansa en paz!!!

[@fortunasp5391]

Didn’t know who this was but then read about it. Only 49, really sad and unfair. R.I.P

[@malvanlondon8683]

Both heart-breaking and wonderful memories.

[@alexmay2825]

It's one of the most moving stories in sports history.

[@garygary7550]

She lives Forever. And Will Forever be a Wimbledon Champion!

[@tylerdurden855]

Brought myself to watch this after Wimbledon being over and the Olympics coming up, What a true measure of a champion. There is no greater will than that of the human heart. I cried out of happiness.

[@keyboarddancers7751]

I'm in floods of tears!!!

[@albertoderrico6573]

Ogni volta che rivedo Jana mi emoziono. Grazie a Barbora che sabato scorso l'ha ricordata così intensamente alla fine del match (alzando lo sguardo al cielo per salutarla) e dedicandole una gran parte dell'intervista finale che mi ha commosso.

[@pacient27977]

R.I.P Jana.Thanks for the memory 🥲

[@tejK-i6o]

I wish Andy Roddick had his moment like this at Wimbledon. What a terrific player he was!!

[@keliusher-holmes2165]

Amazing lady Jana was, inspired me to watch tennis, she was Tennis !

[@Jukka70]

glad this popped up again to comment again. I cried right along with her, was never so happy to see someone win, she really did just capture everyone's heart

[@GinolasSon]

Takes courage to come back like that and the Duchess is a legend for her support

[@KamleshMallick]

Tragic news, she was a gutsy player in her time and showed amazing character to come back from losing that 1993 Final. RIP Jana Novotna. Legend.

[@隊長のテニス絵日記]

ノボトナさんのおかげで、ネットプレーに出る勇気を貰いましたありがとうございます☆😭

[@andreacapulco2949]

1993 was dramatic for both steffi & jana... steffi showed her sportmanship while jana was so sad... glad jana won in 1998 😇

[@Polarcupcheck]

Sorry to hear the news. Very glad she got the title.

[@roxerforlife3663]

R.I.P Jana.💔😢 True legend of the game. I was one match away from seeing her play in 1999 doubles final at Wimbledon, due to rain delays the match was to be played on No.1 court for which I had tickets, however Jana & Natasha Zeverva lost in semis 😭 but considering Jana badly damaged her ankle in the doubles with Natasha in French Open few weeks earlier they did extremely well to get there💖 Being able to watch 2 of the greatest doubles players from the late 80s and 90s would have been magical. For 10 years(I think) it was either Jana or Natasha competing in the finals of Wimbledon doubles !!!! Legend💖💔

[@henningandersen4728]

I` m just crying. In joy and in sadness

[@AndreDMalan1966]

RIP my favorite player. ❤

[@AT-ir4jm]

Yes a true fighter and sports personality

[@nemanjabrkovic612]

Jana Novotna was a class act!

[@sandrabecker2301]

Goosebumps

[@danielenobis5294]

Jana sarai sempre nel mio cuore ❤️ come allora

[@carmeloguadagno4272]

La duchessa che tifa la novotna è un gesto meraviglioso perché sapeva quando teneva a questo torneo dopo le finali perse con hignis e graf che sembrava vinta grandissima la duchessa poiché ha capito lo stato d animo della novotna che poi è esplosa in lacrime

[@welshmarvel84]

How chic and stylish the Duchess of Kent looked when Jana finally won. Wow.

[@lol365]

The Duchess of Kent has always been an incredibly stylish lady whose kindness and warm radiates from the inside out.

[@ElizabethGrindon]

The Duchess of Kent was the Princess Diana of her generation. For many years she taught music to schoolchildren without telling anyone she was a Duchess. Music was her great love. A very warm and charming woman.

[@marinacallebaut3591]

such an emotional lovely lady, R.I.P

[@Plushteddybear69]

What a legend. RIP dear Jana!!! ♥️ 😢 🎾

[@gustavomaller7502]

Has dejado al tenis y a tu país en lo más alto con tu talento, estilo y estética de juego. Donde quiera que estés tu luz brillará por siempre. Descansa en paz, Jana. Besos al cielo.
