Jana got to the semis of RG in '90. I'm pretty sure she beat Sabatini along the way. May have been round of 16.

Funny, I can remember the early 90's better than, say, 2005. I guess I had less pressing outside issues.

Thanks for that as well. The interesting thing to me, was Jana's clay court results are better then I thought they would be. After all, Jana was known as a grass court specialist. Look at Sabatini, who's game was tailor-made for clay. But are Sabatini's clay court results that much better then Jana's?. I don't think so. If someone wanted to make the arguement, about Jana being a better all-court player then Sabatini, I would have a hard time disagreeing with them.
