Message: [QUOTE="huskyrob1, post: 2219960, member: 1226"] With all due respect you should check things out first before making that kind of generalization. In 1980 and 1981, Mandlikova and Navratilova played 6 times with Hana winning 4 of those matches. Two of those matches were GS tournaments, one was on grass at Wimbledon and another was on hard court at the US Open. In 82 through 84 Mandlikova was dogged by injuries, however she did make a comeback in late 84 through 85. She won the US Open in 85 beating Evert and Martina in consecutive matches. After 85 the book on Mandlikova was her concentration, that being said I think the two are pretty even in Grand Slam meetings. Also keep in mind that Navratilova was 6 years older, but when Mandlikova first came up she had Martina's number. [/QUOTE]
