#6 Jana Novotna
One of the most popular women's singles players of all time, Jana Novotna was a relentless fighter on-court. Outside the court too, she was a determined fighter who braved many battles -- most notably her long struggle against cancer. Though she may have lost her life to the dreaded disease, Novotna fought it relentlessly to the very end.
Novotna reached a career-high of World Number 2 in the WTA rankings and won a total of 24 WTA titles in her 12-year career. She made the semi-finals at least of all the 4 Grand Slams over the course of her career and most notably won the Wimbledon Championships in 1998. She also won the WTA Finals in 1998.
She was an equally accomplished doubles player, having ascended to the top of the WTA rankings. In doubles, she won 12 Grand Slam titles and 2 WTA Finals trophies. In all, she won 76 WTA doubles titles. Apart from this, she also won 4 mixed doubles titles, the Fed Cup, the Hopman Cup and 3 Olympic medals.
