After hearing that Nathalie Tauziat cried after losing her last singles match it got me thinking about other players who have cried.
Jana Novotna : The Queen of crying. Made headline worldwide in 1993 when after losing the Wimbledon final that she should have won; she burst into tears and had to be comforted by the Duchess of Kent. Also cried after losing the 1997 Wimbledon final and in 1998 when she won the title!
Lindsay Davenport : Wept tears of joy when she beat 7-time winner and legend Steffi Graf to take her first Wimbledon title in 1999.
Martina Hingis: Cried after losing the 1999 French Open final to Steffi Graf. Understandable as she served for the title in the 2nd set and the crowd then turned against her.
Venus Williams: Cried at Wimbledon 1998. In the quarter finals when she was playing Jana Novotna. Cried tears of frustration/rage at bad calls.
Serena Williams : Wept at Wimbledon 2000 after losing to big sister, Venus in the semi finals
Mary Pierce : Cried into her her towel after winning the French Open in 2000.
Others!!!
Steffi Graf - struggled to keep her emotions in check at her farewell to fans and players at the Chase Championships in 1999. She cried as a look back at her career was shown. She had already retired.
Goran Ivanisevic ~ began to cry at the first matchpoint in this year's Wimbledon final. Cried again when he won the match and the title he wanted so much! The male version of Jana Novotna.
Andre Agassi - Cried tears of relief and joy when he took the French Open title in 1999 after a gruelling final.
I like it when players cry it shows that they are human after all!
