Jana Novotna, the Czech tennis star who famously cried on the Duchess of Kent’s shoulder after losing a Wimbledon singles final in 1993 and then triumphed at the same tournament five years later, has died. She was 49.

Ms. Novotna died in her native Czech Republic on Sunday, the Women’s Tennis Association said in a statement. She had cancer.

She won 17 Grand Slam titles over her career, 16 of them in doubles and mixed doubles, as well as three Olympic medals. But it was her singles career that came to define her.
