At the end of last year, Brenda Fruhvirt chased her rivals on the junior circuit. However, shortly before Christmas Day, following the example of her two-year-old sister Linda, she tried out for the first time in a senior tournament in South Korea. And she didn’t do badly when she scored her first single win.
–
Although she was eliminated at the next event with her first rival, Uzbek player Abduraimova, this was also her first and so far her last defeat this year.
–
As a player in the world’s 11th, she shocked the clay tournament in Tucumano, Argentina. On her way to the title, she also defeated tennis players from the second hundred of the world rankings. In the semifinals, for example, the home team was Paula Ormaeche, the 177th player in the world, who was fifteen at the time of Fruhvirt’s birth. On the way to the premiere senior title, the young Czech lost only two sets.
–
And when she was already in Argentina, the Czech talent cut another tournament in the same place. However, if you expected a tired tennis player to fall right in the opening rounds, you would be very wrong. In the first round she disgraced the American Priceová, who did not even play the game, in the second round at least two games were won by Němka Gerlachová.
–
And the quarterfinals? Chilanka Gaticaová, the 303rd player in the world, congratulated the Czechs on their progress after 6: 2, 6: 3. So far, the last victim of the huge hope not only of Czech tennis has been the 20-year-old daughter of the Czech tennis legend Hana Mandlíková, Elizabeth, who lost 4: 6 in sets in the colors of the United States.
