``Her behavior was disrespectful to everyone who ever won a Grand Slam,'' Mandlikova, who twice appeared in a Wimbledon final as a singles player and won four grand slams, told the Mail Sunday newspaper.

``She should have been banned from playing Wimbledon, then she might learn to appreciate what a responsibility it is to appear in a Grand Slam final like the French Open.''

Swiss Hingis, top seed for Wimbledon, has promised not to repeat her French Open behavior, when she lost control of her emotions in the final against German Steffi Graf.

Hingis received a warning for smashing her racket and broke all the rules of tennis etiquette by crossing over to Graf's side of the court to complain at a disputed line-call.

When she refused to play on, she was docked a penalty point. She also climbed halfway up the umpire's chair to argue another disputed point and, staring defeat in the face, served underarm to Graf on match point.

She and Novotna, 30, have also been at loggerheads since Hingis, 18, ditched the Czech as a doubles partner because Novotna was deemed to be ``too old and slow.''

Mandlikova said her words were not linked to that spat: ''This has nothing to do with Jana. I am speaking out because I feel strongly that Hingis showed no respect in Paris.

``All of us work to get to the finals of Grand Slam tournaments and you have to know how to behave,'' she said.
