Mandlik is Hana Mandlikova's daughter and is yet to reach the success of her mother at the same age. She's yet to reach the success of the 3 Korda children.The Korda's have 1 successful  ATP tennIs player and 2  golfing daughters one of whom is the 2021 Olympic champion

Not sure many people are likely to reach the success of the Korda family tbh.

Didn't know Hana Mandlikova's daughter had taken up pro tennis. Hana was a supremely gifted but mentally very wayward player who won Slams and reached no.3 in the world but could win a set 6-1 and lose the next one 6-0 or vice versa. She was a serve and volley touch player who could be wonderful to watch but struggled at the end of the 80s when the game became more about power and retired at Wimbledon 1990 at the age of 28.

 Yes to have 3 successful children in sport is very rare. You  generally get one family member more succesful than another. The Korda's have children successful  in 2 sports.Re Hana she is in that rare group of female players who lost 2 Wimbledon finals. Mind you they were against Chrissie and Martina. Post second world war only Hana, Darlene Hard, Arantxa Sanchez and Justine Henin have lost their only 2 finals. They have basically lost to greater players. Doris Hart and Jana Novotna lost their first 2 finals and won their third.

It seems as if Katie can find another gear when she is in the mood. Broken from 4-2 and again for 4-5* she took the next four games at a gallop. 7-5 1-0*

Good win Katie, toughed it out against a potential banana skin.

2 courts are streamed, but not Katie's or Emma's.

Bit confused about Emma's opponent's ranking - is she 270 or 184?
