- Martina wasnΓÇÖt the only Czecho-
- slovakian tennis player to become
- famous in the United States. Ivan Lendl
- did too. Like Martina, Ivan defected to
- the U.S. (in 1984) and became an
- American citizen (in 1992). And like
- Martina, he was a great champion.
- Between 1980 and 1994, Ivan won 94
- tournaments, including eight Grand
- Slam titles. Only Jimmy Connors of the
- U.S. won more tournaments (107). And
- Ivan won more prize money than
- anyone -- more than $20 million!
