Chris Evert d. Hana Mandlikova - 1983 US Open QF

Having met 2 of the last 3 years in the final of the US Open, there was plenty of buzz about this QF match up in 1983 between Chris Evert & Hana Mandlikova. And despite an unimposing scoreline, the match lived up to the hype, played in a stern wind, yet with both players posting an impressive winner ratio.
