Romana Tabák or Romana Tabáková (born 7 May 1991) is a Slovak politician and former professional tennis player. She is a former junior world No. 36, achieving that ranking in March 2008. Her career-high ranking of world No. 240 was achieved February 2012.

Political career

On 29 February 2020, Tabák got elected in parliamentary elections and became a member of the National Council of the Slovak Republic for the political party Ordinary People along with fellow Slovak tennis players Karol Kučera and Ján Krošlák. In May 2022, she was expelled from the party, after voting against the potential prosecution of former prime minister Robert Fico in custody. In August, she joined the parliamentary caucus of the We Are Family party. In March 2023, she left the caucus over her opposition to donating Slovak Mig 29 fighter jets to Ukraine, which We Are Family supported. In late September 2022, Tabak was legally accused by a Freedom and Solidarity MP Jana Bittó Cigániková of assault in a nightclub. She was sentenced of a misdemeanor and ordered to pay a 30 euro fine as a result of the attack. Tabak did not run for re-election in the 2023 parliamentary election, but announced she was joining the right wing Slovak National Party. She was also featured in advertisements for the party's electoral campaign and declared that she will run for the party in the 2024 European Parliament election. She ran in fifth place on the party's electoral list but was not elected as her party failed to pass the 5% threshold.

Personal life

Tabak was a contestant in 2007 in Slovakia's Next Top Model, but withdrew after a few episodes because of parental disapproval.

Charitable activities

Tabak took part in missionary trips to India, Africa and Brazil and she aided Ukrainian refugees at the Main Railway Station in Bratislava in March and April 2022.
