What a nice pic, huh?! I know it’s not colored or not anything of rare. Seemingly, it’s just an old, some retrospective monochrome photo. Most youngsters even don’t see who they are, I suppose. But to all tennis fans of 80’s, it’d be awesome and heartfelt one. This pic’s very symbolic that might indicate that how much Hana’s on a roll enough to rock the tennis circuits at the time.

Hana, with her lips pursed as if she had something deep in her mind, raised her hand toward blue sky proudly, she might have said to herself like, “it’s just the beginning. All of you, you watch me.” Hana lived up to our expectation, she made her achievement fiercely enough to be a finalist against Chris Evert (Hana lost, though) in Wimbledon that year. 1981 is unforgettable year for both Hana and us.

I love this Hana’s expression on her face.
She was just full of power you just can't imagine!

You know what? I can't survive without ebay auction, I swear.
They always give me chances to see and obtain 80's Hana and I'm so happy about it. Would you just take a look at these two beautiful original press photos (Chicago Sun-Times) I got? Don't you feel something special? Special moments in 80s that rocked your world?

Please don't ever forget this beautiful tennis player.
Remember her any time you see tennis.
Tell people that there was an incredibly beautiful tennis player in 80's, who's from Czechslovakia and rocked this world. Please don't forget Hana Mandlikova, this beautiful wild flower.

[VIDEOS] The Winner, Hana Mandlikova in Roland Garros, 1981, 1-5 (French Ver.)




Roland Garros Avec 1981 (French)
You can enjoy beautiful play style of our Hana Mandlikova. Her orthodox hitting form especially her back hand is hardly ever seen now. Elegant, powerful, and dedicated describes her whole tennis. I dont think we'll have another tennis legend like her again.

[VDEO] The Worldest Coolest Hana Mandlikova Videos!

I swear to God, I've never seen such beautiful videos about Hana Mandlikova in my life, believe me, totally Never! These two videos, taken by Chapaev36, uploaded to Youtube, I'm going to hook you here with are no doubt the coolest videos of Hana Mandlikova. These videos were so rare because whole scenes were being taken very inside of the court. They're so closely well taken so that you can even hear what the referee, Hana and Evert talking, or see clearly every second of their facial expression. You feel like you’re standing beside them. I think no one could ever take videos like this unless he's working for shooting in the media at the time. Anyway, I’m so appreciate what Chapaev36 has done to us. It is so lovely.

I'm Back Again With This Big-Bang Hana Mandlikova Shot!

posted 25 May, 2009


Yeah~!!! I'm back again with my perfect internet surroundings at home!!! I've had it back today. God, thank you, thank you, thank you so much! I'm SOOOOOO happy! I finally can connect to this Hana Blog anytime when I'm at home. I don't have to bother going to McD to hit the net. I think I'm happy enough to die with this "what a feeling!."
.

.
And today I'm with this hot Hana Mandlikova shot uploaded here with! I purchaced this clipping from ebay, and I'm so satisfied with this. Isn't it fascinating? Or is it too hot to look full at? What do you think, huh? I love this Mandlikova with long hair. Her deep blue eyes definately penetrate our hearts with lots of charms.
.

French Open started yesterday. I wonder whether our Hana is or isn't invited to the court there as an super guest. Because she won FO in 1981! Also, she was the record breaker as "Junior winner who went on to win the senior title (juniors: 1978; seniors: 1981)" . Did you know that? No wonder if she's invited to the court. I know tennis fans in France, they love Hana so much. I wanna see this superstar with tennis racket standing on that red court. God, it'll certainly kill me with joy. Because no other tennis athlete ever looked so hot in this red court than Hana did. I miss her.

A Dream Girl from Czechoslovakia



In 1978,

a dream girl came from Czechoslovakia

with a wood racket.

She didn't know much about

western country.

Going through all sorts of hardships and misery,

she rocked this tennis world.

She inspired us to follow our dreams.


Her name is ...

Hana Mandlikova.

'To suggest I was on drugs would be laughable...'

'To suggest I was on drugs would be laughable if it was not so serious. People on drugs tend to develop muscle definition. Just look at any photograph of me in 1981 - sorry, case closed.'


(ref. "HANA" p62, The German Tennis Federation suspected Hana of drug-taking after she defeated Germany's Sylvia Hanika in the final at Rolland Garros in 1981.)

'Coaching Hana has been emotionally draining...' ,

'Coaching Hana has been emotionally draining at times, but I have no regrets. Her triumphs have made it all worthwhile.'

- Betty Stove

(ref. "HANA" p51)



I am so grateful to Betty for coaching and being with Hana like her secondmother over 8 years. Huge deal! - etsuko209
