British Tennis Forum - Celebrating 20 Years!

Indeed - it was more like a year out, I think

She says the 'tennis carousel' was killing her - but she feels ready to battle it again - there was a very good article in the Czech press a couple of days ago after her win last week

Physically she says she's not quite up to it yet (which is to be expected)

And her plans were only to make top-500, or possibly top-300, but she seems to be playing better than she expected

But, as said, I'm still undecided as to how excited to be about her future (whether she wins here or not) and whether she'll ever really realise those junior expectations - there's rather a chain of young Czechs who are 'tennised-out' (of course, they've got enough to go round so maybe don't care all that much)
