'Because for the first time in my life I got drunk.'

'It was a memorable tournament, not because I beat Britain's Sue Barker in the final, but because for the first time in my life I got drunk. I am not a great drinker by anyone's standards and make no apologies for that. But at the end of three successful weeks I was in the mood to let my hair down and Betty was, too.'

- Hana Mandlikova
