Vera Sukova would later coach a very young Martina Navratilova. Vera would pass away at too young an age, but her daughter, Helena (and son Cyril) would later make quite big names for themselves in the international tennis world.
@westbridgelennie Yes, that's right - I should be getting in some footage of Sukova's wins over Bueno and Hard very soon, and will put them on YouTube - check out my other footage of this match - it's a bit longer, and you see where Sukova sprained her ankle during this match and could hardly move thereafter

@westbridgelennie I just uploaded short clips of Sukova defeating Hard and Bueno, in addition to a longer clip of the 1962 final. Enjoy!
